Free AI Music Generator

Generate background music for any video — 12 genre presets, custom prompts, instrumental and royalty-free, 30–90 seconds wall time.

Why ViralMint for this

01

Lyria 3 Pro under the hood

ViralMint's music tool calls Google's Lyria 3 Pro via OpenRouter — the model that drives YouTube's own creator music tools. You get the same audio quality, the same instrumental focus, and no vocals (deliberately, since most creators want backing tracks they can talk over).

02

Genre presets that actually map to creator needs

12 presets cover the full spectrum: Lo-fi Chill (study-tube), Cinematic (vlog establishing shots), Upbeat Electronic (TikTok hooks), Ambient (meditation), Corporate (explainer videos), Jazz, Hip-Hop / Trap, Classical, EDM, Acoustic, R&B, Rock. Layer a Mood (Chill / Hype / Cinematic / Cozy) on top and you have ~50 distinct vibes without writing a prompt.

03

Flat $0.12 per song, no subscription

Suno is $10/month for ~500 songs but watermarks free outputs. Soundraw is $16.99/month with a 50-track download cap. ViralMint charges $0.12 per generation — flat-rate, no monthly minimum, no watermark, no track caps. Generate 5 takes for under a dollar.

How it works

  1. Open the Music page in the portal

    Sign in at viralmint.net/app/music. The page defaults to Lo-fi Chill — fastest way to see what the tool sounds like.

  2. Pick a genre or write a custom prompt

    Toggle Custom Prompt for free-text input ('warm lofi beat with vinyl crackle, 90 bpm, instrumental') or stick with one of the 12 presets. Add a Mood (Chill / Hype / Cinematic / Cozy) to color the output.

  3. Set duration

    Slider runs 15s to 4 minutes in 15-second steps. Lyria is flat-priced so duration doesn't change cost — pick what your video needs.

  4. Generate and download

    Click Generate ($0.12). The track streams over 30–90 seconds in the cloud; once complete the audio plays in your browser and a Download mp3 button appears. The track also lands in your Library for re-download within 30 days.

Frequently asked

Why instrumental only?

Almost every creator who generates AI music wants a backing track they can talk over — vocals fight the voiceover and add IP risk. Lyria 3 Pro's prompt template explicitly asks for instrumental output (the genre presets all end with 'no vocals'). If you specifically want a vocal track, the AI Voice generator handles narration; the AI Music tool intentionally stays out of the singing-AI space.

Is the generated music royalty-free?

Yes. Google's Lyria license permits commercial use of the generated audio with no royalties owed. The track you download is yours to monetize on YouTube, TikTok, ads, podcasts — anywhere.

Why 30–90 seconds wall time?

Lyria 3 Pro is exposed via OpenRouter's chat-completions endpoint as an audio stream — the model takes a real chunk of compute time to generate each track end-to-end. ViralMint runs it on a worker Lambda with a 5-minute budget so even longer tracks complete reliably. The portal shows a live progress timer so you know where you are.

Can I generate variations of the same prompt?

Yes — every generation uses a fresh seed, so re-generating with the same prompt gives a different take. Most creators generate 3–5 variations of a prompt, keep the best, and discard the rest. At $0.12 each, that's well under a dollar to find the right vibe.

What if Lyria isn't available in the future?

ViralMint routes through OpenRouter, which gives us a single switch to swap in any other AI music model if Lyria pricing or availability changes. The desktop app's Smart Video pipeline also accepts your own uploaded music tracks as a fallback — see the Music Library page in the portal.
