What it does, concretely

Creating original music takes time, skills, and often complex software. AIVA lets you generate complete musical compositions in seconds, with no prior musical training required.

In practice, you choose a style from more than 250 available options, or upload an audio or MIDI file as an influence. AIVA then generates a track that you can edit and download in the format of your choice.

The tool is aimed at beginners who want to add music to a video or personal project, as well as content creators and professionals who need music for games, films, or commercial productions.

However, AIVA is less suited to those looking for music with vocals or lyrics, or who want to work entirely offline, as compositions are generated server-side.

What it offers

·Music generation in more than 250 different styles in seconds.
·Import of an audio or MIDI file as an influence to guide the composition.
·Creation of custom style models. (paid)
·Editing of generated tracks directly within the interface.
·Download in MP3 and MIDI formats on all plans, with high-quality WAV export available on the Pro plan. (paid for WAV)
·Full copyright ownership and unrestricted monetization with the Pro plan. (paid)
·Limited monetization on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Instagram with the Standard plan. (paid)

Our tips

Use a MIDI file as an influence rather than an audio file to get results closer to the harmonic structure you have in mind.
On the free plan, downloads are limited to 3 per month and tracks to 3 minutes: plan your exports accordingly.
If you want to publish on YouTube or Twitch without crediting AIVA, the Standard plan is sufficient; the Pro plan is only necessary if you need unrestricted monetization or WAV format.
Create your own style model by uploading several influence tracks to refine the sound output according to your musical universe.

Watch out

Compositions are generated server-side: an internet connection is required and your data passes through AIVA's servers.
On the free plan, copyright remains owned by AIVA and any commercial use is prohibited, which can catch users off guard if they do not read the terms before publishing.
