Add music to a video
Drop your video, drop an MP3 — or WAV, M4A, FLAC, Ogg — onto the audio track below it, trim and fade, and export. Clipforge is a real multi-track editor, so 'add music' can be exactly that simple or grow into a full mix: multiple audio tracks, per-clip volume, fades, and one-checkbox ducking that lowers the music under your voice.

Frequently asked questions
Is this really free? Other sites gate the export.
The full job is free: unlimited exports at up to 1080p, no watermark, no account, no trial. Upload-based sites gate exports because rendering costs them server money; here your own device renders, so there's nothing to gate.
Can I keep the video's original sound under the music?
Yes — the original audio stays on its own track. Balance the two with per-track volume, or enable auto-duck so the music dips automatically whenever the original track has speech.
What audio formats can I add?
MP3, WAV, M4A/AAC, FLAC and Ogg. Files are read locally — a big WAV doesn't need to upload anywhere, so it's instant.
Can I add music to just part of the video?
Yes — drag the music clip to the right moment on the timeline, trim it to the section, and fade in/out at the edges. You can lay multiple music cues along one video.
Where do I get music I'm allowed to use?
Any file you have rights to works. For free options, the YouTube Audio Library, Free Music Archive and ccMixter are solid starting points — we deliberately don't bundle a stock library (licensing costs are why other editors' paid tiers exist) and link out instead.
