  • Is the music copyright free?

    Yes! You won’t have any copyright issues when using Uppbeat music correctly. If you’re a free user, this simply means including Uppbeat Credits in your video descriptions, and if you’re a Premium or Business subscriber you can whitelist your channels to make life even easier!

  • How do artists get paid?

    Everytime you download our artists’ music, whether that’s for free or with an Uppbeat Premium account, we pay them from a pool of Uppbeat Premium subscriptions and other revenue.
