Open BudgetPixel

Audio Content License

One simple license for everything in Sound Effects and Background Music. It is the same for individuals, teams and studios of any size.

What you can do

  • Use it for free, forever

    Every sound effect and music track in the library is free — no fees, no royalties, no subscription.

  • Use it commercially

    Monetized YouTube videos, podcasts, games, apps, ads, streams, films and client work are all fine.

  • Skip the attribution

    You never need to credit BudgetPixel. If you do anyway, we appreciate it — but it is not a condition.

  • Modify and adapt it

    Trim, pitch, stretch, layer, remix and process the audio into your projects however you like.

  • Use it without an account

    Downloading requires no sign-up, and this license applies whether or not you have one.

  • Use both formats

    WAV and MP3 downloads carry the same license.

What you cannot do

  • Redistribute it standalone

    You cannot resell, re-upload or share the files as audio — on a stock site, in a sample pack or sound library, as a dataset, or anywhere the audio itself is the product.

  • Build a competing library

    You cannot use the catalogue (in bulk or in part) to assemble a competing free or paid audio library or to train a competing audio product.

  • Claim ownership

    You cannot register library audio with any content-identification or rights-management system (such as Content ID), or assert exclusive rights over it against anyone.

  • Use it unlawfully or deceptively

    No use in illegal, defamatory or deliberately misleading material.

Good to know

Everything here is AI-generated. Each sound and track is created by AI, quality-reviewed before listing, and provided “as is” — you are responsible for judging its suitability for your project.

Free generations become part of the library. Audio generated with the free on-page generator may be published to the library (with its prompt text, never your identity) for anyone to use under this license. Signed-in workshop generations stay private to your account.

This page is the summary. The legally binding text is Section 21 of our Terms of Service. If anything here and there ever differ, the Terms govern.
