Epidemic Sound
Stockholm, Sweden
What it is
Epidemic Sound is a soundtracking catalog of music and sound effects, paired with licensing and tools to find, edit, and sync audio to content. The company describes its collection as more than 55,000 tracks and 250,000 sound effects and variations, and says it owns all rights to its tracks and provides a direct license with global rights. Content published during a free trial or active subscription remains cleared indefinitely when channels are correctly safelisted under the subscription terms; content created after the subscription ends is not cleared. The listed AI tools include voiceovers, voice replicas, monthly AI credits, and prompt-based music discovery. Plugins are available for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and DaVinci Resolve Studio, while the Mac app supports workflows with Final Cut Pro, Avid Pro Tools, CapCut, and other editors. Plans address individual creators, professionals, businesses, and larger organizations, with differing channel, user, revenue, and usage terms. A 30-day trial is available, but downloading and using music requires an active subscription or single-track license.
