5 Best Sites to Download Free Copyright-Free Music For Your Videos

Finding the right music for your videos is hard. As a video editor, it’s also one of my dilemmas when it comes to editing. Music binds all of your footage together, so it’s crucial to find the right one. Think of it as finding your ideal partner. If it doesn’t tick all the boxes, then it just feels meh. But the adage goes, you can’t have it all, and good things in life don’t come for free, especially when it comes to A+ music.

So if you’re looking for sites on where to download copyright-free music for your YouTube videos or any other multimedia projects, here are some recommendations.

Incompetech is one of the OG providers of free royalty-free music, all thanks to American Composer Kevin MacLeod who composed over 2K+ pieces that we can use for free.

Attribution is required here, so be sure to put credit if you’re uploading your video on YouTube or any platform.
