From an idea to a song. In three steps.
- 01
Describe your song
Say what it’s about, who it’s for and how it should feel, or paste lyrics you wrote. A template gives you a ready-made sound.
- 02
Get two versions
The AI writes the music, sings the words and makes cover art. Every generation gives you two takes to choose from in a few minutes.
- 03
Download and share
Download MP3 or WAV, share a link or make a lyric video. Change one thing and generate again until it’s right.
Describe the moment in the game.
Say where the music plays (title screen, level, boss fight or game over), the tempo and the mood. Words like “chiptune”, “NES”, “square wave”, “arpeggios” and “arcade drums” push it toward a classic 8-bit sound; add “16-bit” or “SNES” for a richer retro feel. Tick Instrumental Only for background music.

Questions and answers.
Can I use 8-bit music in my game?
Yes. Tracks made on a paid plan come with full commercial rights, so you can use them in games you sell. Music made on the Free plan is for non-commercial projects.
Can it make seamless loops?
Each track is a full piece with a start and an end, not a seamless loop. Cut a loop at a clean bar in your audio editor or game engine.
Can I get chiptune with vocals?
Yes. Leave Instrumental Only off and describe the singer, or paste your own lyrics in Custom Mode.
Is it free?
Yes, you can try it for free. The Free plan makes one song a month, in two versions. Paid plans make many more, from 41 songs a month on Starter.
Can it make songs with vocals and lyrics?
Yes. Describe the song and the AI writes the lyrics and sings them, or turn on Custom Mode and paste your own. Pick a male or female voice, or tick Instrumental Only for music without singing.
How long are the songs?
Most songs are two to four minutes long. You can’t set an exact length, so trim the song in an audio or video editor when you need a shorter clip.
Can I use the songs commercially?
Yes, on a paid plan. Songs you make with a paid subscription come with full commercial rights, and you keep them after the subscription ends. Songs made on the Free plan are for non-commercial use.
Which file formats can I download?
MP3, for sharing and listening, and WAV, uncompressed for editing and mastering. Each song also comes with its own cover art.
Why do I get two versions?
Every generation makes two different takes of your idea, so you can keep the one you like best. Both count as one song.
Which languages can it sing in?
English and many other languages, such as Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese and Korean. Write your description or lyrics in the language you want the song sung in.
Your next song starts with one sentence.
Free to try: one song a month in two versions, no credit card needed.
