Epidemic Sound is a Stockholm, Sweden-based royalty-free music and sound-effects licensing service built for video creators, brands, and enterprises. Subscribers get unlimited downloads from a catalog of more than 55,000 original tracks plus sound effects, organized by genre, mood, and theme, along with curated playlists (Ads/Promos, Vlogs, Cinematic, Travel, Corporate, Sports, and more). Beyond the library, Epidemic Sound offers creative tooling to speed up soundtracking: Studio (AI-assisted music-to-video syncing), Search by Video (track suggestions generated from uploaded video content), Find Similar (finds tracks with a comparable tone/sound), an AI voiceover feature, and an audio-customization tool called Adapt. The service is used by individual YouTubers and filmmakers as well as broadcasters, production companies, digital publishers, advertising agencies, and enterprises needing in-store or campaign music, with direct licensing that covers rights worldwide so creators avoid copyright claims.
