Free To Use
Free To Use
Free To Use is a royalty-free music platform for content creators and businesses that need high-quality background music they can actually trust. Founded in 2016, it gives instant access to a curated library of human-made tracks – no cost and no registration – so your projects always have the perfect soundtrack. What sets it apart: every track is composed by a real human artist (never AI), and Free To Use owns its entire catalogue outright, which is what keeps the music free and genuinely safe to use.
The platform's purpose is to give creators and organizations professional-grade music that's free from copyright headaches. It serves a broad audience – YouTubers, podcasters, video editors, streamers, marketers, educators, and small businesses – anyone who needs safe, legal, accessible music for creative and commercial work. Because Free To Use holds the rights to every track, it can keep the catalogue free and even resolve false copyright claims on a creator's behalf.
Key Features
Real human artists, never AI: every track is composed by a person and hand-reviewed before going live

Use Cases
For content creators on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram, Free To Use is an effortless way to find engaging background music for vlogs, tutorials, short films, and promotional videos while staying compliant with platform monetization policies. Podcasters can use the library for intros, outros, and interstitial music, giving their audio a polished, professional sound without licensing fees, and streamers get music that's safe to play on Twitch.
Businesses, from startups to established enterprises, can use it for marketing campaigns, corporate presentations, explainer videos, and internal communications (with a Commercial plan for branded content). Educators can enhance e-learning modules and presentations, and event organizers can find suitable ambient music. Because Free To Use owns every track and the licensing is simple, it removes the usual hurdles of music licensing so users can focus on their creative output.
Pricing Information
Free To Use is free to use with a short attribution – no account, no download caps, and no cost for everyday creator use. For those who want to skip attribution or use the music commercially, there are two affordable subscriptions, Personal and Commercial, plus single-track Pro and Broadcast licenses for one-off and large-scale productions. Anything published while a subscription is active stays cleared permanently, even after it ends. This keeps everyday use completely free while offering simple paid options for professional and commercial needs.
User Experience and Support
The experience is built for speed and simplicity. With no sign-up, users can browse by mood and genre, preview tracks, save favorites, and surface similar songs, then download instantly. The interface is clean and intentionally clutter-free. The team actively listens to feedback from both creators and the artists it works with, and can be reached through the website – and because the platform owns its catalogue, it can step in directly if a user ever faces a false copyright claim.
Technical Details
Free To Use is fully web-based and works in any modern browser with no app or plugin required. Downloads are delivered instantly, and the platform is privacy-first by design, running without cookies, tracking, or the collection of personal data – rare among music libraries.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Free with unlimited downloads and no sign-up; 100% human-made music, never AI; every track owned outright and copyright-safe; false claims resolved directly; curated for consistent quality; privacy-first with no tracking.
Cons: Free use requires a short attribution (removable with a paid plan); the library is curated for quality rather than being the largest on the market; branded/commercial use requires a paid Commercial plan.
Conclusion
Free To Use redefines what "free" royalty-free music can be: a curated library of human-made tracks you genuinely have the right to use, free with a simple attribution and backed by real copyright protection. For creators and businesses that want safe, high-quality audio without legal or financial headaches, it's an essential resource. Browse the library today and give your content a soundtrack you never have to worry about.
