AI Music Generator questions, answered
Understand song generation, credits, lyrics, output options and usage rights before you create.
Is Elve's AI Song Maker free to use?
New accounts receive 10 free signup credits. A song generation currently costs 25 credits per run, so the signup bonus alone does not cover a full song generation. Other Elve tools may have different credit costs; check the amount shown before starting. Visit the pricing page for subscriptions and one-time packs.
How many versions do I get from one song generation?
Each song run currently returns two versions to compare. The generation cost is charged per run, not per version, and the displayed credit cost is shown before you start.
Can I use my own lyrics?
Yes. Use Lyrics Mode and paste up to 5,000 characters of your own lyrics. You can also start with a text prompt describing the song you want.
How long can an AI-generated song be?
Elve's current song workflow supports tracks up to 6 minutes. The available output length can depend on the selected model and settings, so check the options shown in the generator.
Can I create instrumental music without vocals?
Yes. Switch on the Instrumental option to generate a track without AI vocals. This can be useful for background music, podcast beds and video soundtracks.
Which music models are available?
The current model options are displayed in the song generator. Model availability and credit costs can change, so use the options shown in the tool and review the cost before generating.
Can I use songs commercially?
Commercial rights depend on your plan and the applicable terms. The current Commercial License page lists Basic as personal-use only and Standard, Pro and Max as including commercial licensing.
