The music tool generates original tracks from a text description — background music for videos, intros, ads, loops and mood pieces. This guide covers the engines and how to describe a track so you get something you'd actually use.

The music engines

  • Automatic (recommended): a good all-round engine. Start here.
  • Standard — fast: quick drafts while you're finding the right vibe.
  • Balanced: the everyday choice for usable tracks.
  • Ultra — richer: more depth and texture for pieces that carry a video or an ad.
Describe the feeling and the use, not just the genre. "Calm lo-fi for a study video" beats "lo-fi" every time.WorkCrafter

How to describe a track

You give the tool a caption (what the music is), optional lyrics, and settings like duration and tempo. The caption does most of the work — treat it like a brief for a session musician:

  • Genre and mood: "upbeat indie pop, hopeful and bright".
  • Instrumentation: "acoustic guitar, soft drums, warm bass".
  • Use case: "background for a product demo" tells it to stay out of the way.
  • Energy and tempo: state a rough BPM or say "slow and mellow" / "driving and energetic".
Caption: warm lo-fi hip-hop, relaxed and nostalgic, mellow piano, vinyl crackle, soft drums, background for a study video
Lyrics: [instrumental]
Duration: 60s · BPM: 75

For instrumental music, set the lyrics to [instrumental] so the tool doesn't invent vocals. If you do want vocals, keep the lyrics short and simple — dense wordplay rarely lands.

Duration and tempo

Ask for the length you'll actually use. Shorter clips hold together more reliably than long ones, and it's easy to loop a clean 30-second piece under a video. If a track drifts or loses the thread, shorten it and regenerate rather than pushing for a longer take.

Tips that help

  • Name two or three instruments — it anchors the arrangement more than a genre label alone.
  • Say what the music is for; "background" produces something that supports rather than competes.
  • Generate a few short options and pick the strongest, then extend that direction.
  • Keep vocals simple, or go instrumental — it's the more dependable path to a usable track.

What it costs

A music generation costs 15 credits (1 credit = $0.01). Failed generations are refunded automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the music in monetised videos?

Yes — tracks you generate are yours to use commercially under the platform's terms, including in monetised content. Keep a record of what you generated.

How do I get an instrumental with no vocals?

Set the lyrics field to [instrumental]. Otherwise the tool may add a vocal line to fit the caption.

My track wanders. What do I change?

Shorten the duration and tighten the caption. Long generations are where coherence breaks down; a focused 30–60 seconds you can loop is usually more useful anyway.

Start composing

Open the music tool, write a caption with a mood, a few instruments and a use case, set a short duration, and generate a couple of options. Extend the one that feels right.
