Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

How do you add background music to a video?

To add background music to a video, use Kapwing’s royalty-free library of awesome songs and sound effects. With our visual editing tools, you can easily synch up sound effects, clips, video transitions, and jump cuts to create truly great content. And try our AI-powered tool for background noise removal so your video comes out squeaky clean.

Can I add music from Spotify to my video?

The vast majority of Spotify songs are not free for creative or commercial use. Spotify also doesn’t allow you to download audio files for use elsewhere. Instead, use a video editing platform that includes a built-in library of royalty-free music and sound effects so you can select audio and edit video all in one place.

How do I add music to a video for free?

To add music to a video for free, you’ll need to source songs and sound effects from a royalty-free catalog that won’t put you at risk of violating copyright laws. To make the process easy, use a video editing platform like Kapwing that offers a built-in library of royalty-free music so you can add audio and manage other video editing tasks under one roof.

How do I add audio to a video on my phone?

Use a mobile-friendly online video editor like Kapwing that doesn’t require you to download any special software. Then choose from thousands of royalty-free songs and sound effects to add to your video. Or, simply enter the URL of the audio file you want to use to import it. With Kapwing, you can easily autogenerate b-roll, transcripts, subtitles, and so your editing workflow is amazingly fast.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
