What is royalty-free music for Facebook content creation?
Royalty-free music for Facebook is music licensed for a one-time fee or through a subscription that allows for legal use in digital content without subsequent performance royalties.
This licensing model protects creators from "Copyright Match" flags and video takedowns. This is a critical protection, as the U.S. Copyright Office states there is "no hard and fast minimum amount of music you can use without getting permission." Even a small portion may be considered infringement. Epidemic Sound simplifies this by owning all rights to its catalog, ensuring that royalty-free music for Facebook is truly "all-rights cleared."
It is important to understand that "royalty-free" does not mean the music is free of cost; rather, it means you do not have to pay the artist a royalty every time the video is watched.
This predictable model makes it an affordable way for you to soundtrack your Reels, Stories, and live streams with world-class production.
Where can I get music for Facebook?
The best websites for royalty-free music for Facebook offer high-quality audio, a vast library, and "safelisting" features to prevent copyright strikes on your account. While Facebook provides an in-app Sound Collection, professional creators and agencies might prefer external libraries like Epidemic Sound to ensure their content is unique and legally protected across all social platforms.
If you’re looking for inspiration, check out Epidemic Sound’s music catalog. Over 55,000 tracks and 250,000 unique sound effects and variations, available for use on Facebook and all other major platforms.
Choosing the right source for your Facebook content:
-
Best for social media creators: Epidemic Sound is the industry leader for creators who need a "set it and forget it" licensing model. By linking your Facebook page to your subscription, our system automatically clears your videos of copyright claims, allowing for seamless monetization.
-
Best for budget hobbyists: The Facebook Sound Collection is a viable free option if you only intend to post on Meta platforms and do not require high-production value or specific niche genres.
-
Avoid if: You are a professional brand or agency using "Free to Use" sites without clear licensing documentation. These sites often lack the legal indemnification needed to protect a business from expensive copyright litigation.
How do I add royalty-free music to Facebook videos?
You add music to Facebook videos by either using the platform's native creative tools or syncing a track in your favorite editing software before you upload the file. For a truly professional finish, many creators prefer to edit their videos first to ensure the music hits every transition and key moment perfectly.
- Select a track from our catalog and download it to your device.
- Open your preferred video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve Studio).
- Import your video footage and the downloaded audio track.
- Align the music with your transitions and key moments.
- Export the finished video and upload it directly to Facebook.
- Ensure your Facebook page is linked to your Epidemic Sound account for automatic clearing.
Where can you find music for Facebook ads?
You can find music for Facebook ads in the Epidemic Sound catalog. With the right plan, every track is cleared for commercial use and global distribution. Using high-impact audio is a core component of successful Facebook advertising, as it can significantly improve the conversion rates of your campaigns.
If you are running a business or an agency, you need a specific level of legal coverage. Our Business Plan for commercial clearance provides the necessary permissions to use music in sponsored content and advertisements. This commercial license ensures that your paid reach is never interrupted by a copyright claim.

Frequently asked questions
Can I monetize Facebook videos using royalty-free music?
Yes, you can monetize Facebook videos with royalty-free music, but the type of monetization depends on your license. To earn from platform tools like In-Stream Ads on your own channels, a Creator plan is sufficient. However, to use music in content for a client or in a digital ad (commercial use), you need a Pro or Business plan. An Epidemic Sound subscription provides the necessary legal rights for your specific use case, ensuring Meta’s Rights Manager doesn't redirect your ad revenue.
What are the consequences of using copyrighted music on Facebook?
The consequences of using unlicensed copyrighted music include immediate video muting, content takedowns, and potential permanent account suspension under Meta's "repeat infringer" policy. Beyond platform penalties, unauthorized use exposes creators to legal statutory damages ranging from $750 to $150,000 per violation under U.S. copyright law.
What is Facebook’s music policy for creators and businesses?
Facebook’s music policy mandates that creators and businesses must have the appropriate rights for any music they use, especially in branded content or ads. While Meta provides a Sound Collection for use on their platforms, any content created for commercial purposes, like digital advertising or client work, requires a robust commercial license. An Epidemic Sound subscription ensures your content is legally compliant wherever you post.
Is the Facebook Sound Collection free for commercial use?
The Facebook Sound Collection is free for content created and hosted exclusively on Meta platforms, but it does not grant you the rights to use that same audio on YouTube, TikTok, or other external sites. To protect your brand across the entire internet, an Epidemic Sound subscription provides a single license that covers all major platforms, ensuring the content you publish on your connected channels stays cleared.
Can I still use the music I downloaded if I cancel my subscription?
Any video published to Facebook while your subscription was active remains cleared and protected forever. However, you cannot use previously downloaded tracks in new videos once your subscription ends, as the license only covers content published during the active term.
