Free To Use is a royalty-free music platform that gives content creators high-quality background music for free, without the copyright risks that come with most "free" music online.
The problem: every creator who publishes video or audio needs music, but the safe options are a mess. Most "free" libraries simply host tracks uploaded by producers who keep the rights, so a song can be pulled later or hit with a copyright claim that demonetizes or blocks the creator's video. Licensing terms are buried in legalese and often restricted by platform or region. And a growing share of libraries are filling up with AI-generated music that can't be properly copyrighted or protected. The result: creators waste time, lose ad revenue to false claims, and never quite know if the music in their video is safe.
Our solution: Free To Use owns every track in its catalogue outright. Artists transfer the exclusive rights to us, so the music stays free forever, the terms stay stable, and we can resolve false copyright claims directly on a creator's behalf. Every track is made by a real human artist, never AI, and reviewed and curated by hand for consistent quality. Creators browse by mood and genre, download unlimited tracks with no sign-up, and publish safely across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch and podcasts.
Why we built it: we are a team of content creators who felt this pain ourselves. Free use comes with a simple attribution; we fund the platform through affordable Personal and Commercial subscriptions plus single-track Pro and Broadcast licences, which keeps the core library free for everyone.
Founded in 2016 and based in Denmark, Free To Use is building the music layer for the creator economy: music creators can actually trust.
