Add Background Music to Video

Lay a music track under the voice already in a video, at the volume you choose

Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 24 Oct 2026.

Music under a voice has to sit low enough to hear every word, and stop gracefully rather than mid-bar. This page starts the music at 25% under the video’s own sound at full volume, repeats it if the video is longer than the song, and fades it out over the last three seconds. Change any of those with a slider and hear it before you save; the picture itself is copied, never re-encoded.

Next:
  • Trim the video Cut several clips out of one video, keeping the original quality where it can
  • Take the sound out Take the sound out of a video and keep it exactly as it was recorded

How to add background music to a video

1

Press Choose video, then Choose audio and pick the song.

2

New audio starts at 25% under Original sound at 100%; move either slider and play the video to hear the balance.

3

If the audio is shorter is already on Repeat it and Fade out at the end on 3 s, so the song loops and ends gently.

4

Press Save the video with this sound to get the MP4 with the music under the voice.

How Add Background Music to Video works

This page puts a new sound track on a video: a song, a voice-over, a cleaner microphone recording, or nothing at all. It was built for the job of finishing AI-generated clips for YouTube, where the picture is final and only the sound changes, and for that job the one thing that must not happen is the picture getting worse.

Longer or shorter than the video. Audio that runs past the end of the video is cut at its last frame. Audio that ends early leaves silence, or starts again from the top if you choose Repeat. A fade in and a fade out are there for music.

Keeping the original sound. Set its volume above zero and it stays, mixed under the new track at the level you choose; at zero it is replaced.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add music to a video without losing quality?

Drop the video and the music file here and save. The video frames are copied into the new file exactly as they were, not re-encoded, so a 1080p or 4K video keeps every pixel. Only the sound track is new.

How do I replace the audio in a video?

Drop the video and the new audio, leave "Original sound" at 0%, and save. The old sound track is dropped and the new one takes its place, lined up where you put it and cut at the video's last frame if it is longer.

Can I keep the original sound and add music under it?

Yes. Set Original sound above 0% and the video's own sound stays, with the new audio mixed in at its own volume. For background music under speech, 100% original and 20 to 30% music is a common starting point; a fade-out at the end avoids stopping mid-note.

Which audio formats can I add?

MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, OGG, Opus and FLAC, and the sound of another MP4 or MOV. The video must be MP4, MOV or M4V. The result is always an MP4 that plays everywhere and uploads to YouTube as it is.
