About this collection

ReddTools is best known for its free online tools — unit converters, calculators, colour pickers — but the team behind the site also produces videos, and every one of those videos needs music. Rather than licensing stock tracks, we generate our own. Each piece in this collection was composed and produced in-house using AI-assisted music generation tools, then selected, edited, and mixed by us. That means we own the rights to every note — and it means we can share them with you, completely free.

Why publish background music at all? Because finding good, genuinely royalty-free music is surprisingly hard. Most "free" music libraries come with fine print: attribution clauses, channel-size limits, monetisation restrictions, or a subscription wall that quietly converts your "free" download into a monthly charge. Tracks get claimed retroactively when a library changes its terms. Creators end up spending more time clearing audio than editing the video it belongs to.

This collection takes the opposite approach. These are tracks we made for ourselves — real music that alongside pieces we created while building out the collection. You can play each one right on this page, download the MP3 with one click, and drop it straight into your video editor. Use them on YouTube, in podcasts, in games, in presentations, in client work. Monetise freely. No attribution needed, though a link back is always appreciated. The only thing we ask is that you don't resell the tracks themselves or upload them to other music libraries claiming them as your own.

The collection started small and is growing — from a thirty-second ambient bed to full three-minute pieces — and new tracks are added every week. We'd rather publish music we've actually used and can stand behind than pad a page with filler. The warm neoclassical track, for example, carried a full narration before it earned its place here watermarking; we lived with it through the whole edit before it earned its place here. New tracks will be added as we create them, so check back, or follow ReddTools on Product Hunt for updates.

If you make something with one of these tracks, we'd love to hear it — reach us through thecontact page. And if you're looking for more from us, theblog covers design, colour theory, and the craft behind the tools.
