    Upload your song

    Pick an audio file, or a video from your phone and we use its sound. Up to 10 minutes long.

Questions

Can I post it straight to TikTok?

No. You download the MP4 and upload it to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts yourself. Melo.Video is not affiliated with those services.

Can I make it all on my phone?

Yes. Upload, edit, preview and export work in a phone browser, and you can use a video from your phone as the song.

How long can the video be?

The song can be up to 10 minutes and 80 MB. Check the length limits of the platform you post to, which are its own.

Can I use any song?

Use music you made or have the rights to. Platforms may mute or remove videos that use music you do not own.

Is it free?

Making and previewing is free with a free account, including 10 minutes of automatic lyrics; the preview carries a PREVIEW watermark. Each export is a one-time payment from $1.49 with no watermark.
