Specs and limits
What the text to music tool takes and gives back
- Input
- Sonilo's text to music tool takes a written prompt of up to 2,000 characters.
- Sonilo's text to music tool makes music from 5 seconds to 8 minutes long, or picks a length from the prompt on Auto.
- Output
- Each text to music generation gives two versions of the music.
- On a paid plan, Sonilo's text to music tool downloads the music as an M4A, a 48 kHz WAV or a 320 kbps MP3. On Free, the music plays in the browser and does not download.
- Cost
- Sonilo's text to music tool costs 5 credits per second of music, with a 200 credit minimum per generation, so any track up to 40 seconds costs 200 credits. Both versions come for that one price.
- The Free plan comes with 2,000 credits every 2 weeks, enough for up to 6 minutes of text to music.
- Commercial use
- Music from Sonilo's text to music tool can be used commercially on Pro and Premium. Pro covers ads, branded content, client deliverables, monetized channels and indie games, and Premium adds film, TV, broadcast and studio games.
- Music made with Sonilo on the Free plan is for personal projects only.
- Not built for
- Sonilo's text to music tool does not follow the cuts of a video. To fit music to a finished edit, use video to music.
- One text to music track runs 8 minutes at most.
