Tidecut

Music you can publish.

Tidecut has a built-in library of royalty-free songs. Use them in any video, anywhere.

Owning a song isn't the same as being allowed to publish it.

Buying, streaming or downloading a song usually lets you listen to it. Putting it in a video you share is publishing, and that needs the rights holder's permission. Without it, social media can mute, block or take down your video, or pay what it earns to the rights holder.

The built-in music is free for any purpose.

Every song in the library is royalty-free for any use: personal, social media or commercial. You don't need to credit anyone, though creators appreciate it. Each song in Tidecut links to its creator, and they're all listed below.

Pick the part you want.

Browse by genre and play a song. Tidecut marks its best 15, 30 and 60 seconds, and you add the whole song or just one part. The library is free for everyone. Using several songs in one video is part of Tidecut Pro.

If your video gets a copyright claim

Automatic copyright systems sometimes claim free music by mistake, when someone else has registered it. Dispute the claim and point to the song's page, or to this page: tidecut.app/music.

Songs from your own files

When you add a song from a file, it's up to you to make sure you may publish it. Use music you made, music licensed for publishing, or music whose license allows it.

The library and the internet

The library needs an internet connection to browse and download songs from music.tidecut.app. Tidecut downloads music; nothing about you or your videos leaves your Mac. There's no account and no analytics. Songs you've added stay in your projects and work offline, and songs from your own files need no internet.

The creators

86 songs by 22 creators. Thank you to all of them. CC0 means the creator has given the song to the public domain: anyone may use it for anything.
