FAQ & troubleshooting

No catch. Songs are made by the free Swara Engine, so there's nothing to meter and nothing to charge you for. No plans, no credits, no watermark, no account.

Swara Sound is an independent project kept running by people who choose to support it. Nothing is ever locked behind that.

A laptop or desktop with the latest Chrome or Edge. They let the song engine use your graphics chip (WebGPU). Firefox and Safari are catching up but aren't reliable yet.

Phones and tablets don't have enough memory for the song engine. You can still use Free Text to Speech and many of the free music tools there.

The home page checks your device before anything downloads and tells you plainly if it can't make songs.

The first time, your browser downloads the song engine once - about 1.9 GB - and keeps it. On a typical home connection that's a few minutes; you can write your lyrics while it downloads. After that it's kept, so later songs start right away (it just needs a moment to load each time you open the page).

The same download makes songs on the home page and instrumentals on Make instrumental, and resumes where it stopped if you close the tab.

It depends on the laptop or desktop. On an everyday laptop a one-minute song takes about a minute and a half, and a two-minute song about three minutes. A computer with a graphics card is faster. Your song starts playing while it's still being made, so you hear it well before it's finished.

The message says the exact reason. The usual ones:

• Phone or tablet - not enough memory for the engine. Use a laptop or desktop.
• Browser can't use the graphics chip - update Chrome or Edge, and your graphics driver.
• Not enough storage - the browser needs about 2 GB free. Free up some disk space. Private/incognito windows get very little storage, so use a normal window.
• Graphics chip too old - very old computers can't run it.

By default your songs are saved in your browser, so they're there next time you visit. But if you clear your browsing data for this site, they're deleted - so download the ones you love (MP3 or WAV).

Want them kept somewhere safer? In Settings (in the sidebar) → Where your songs are saved, choose a folder on your computer (Chrome/Edge) or Google Drive.

No. Everything works without an account. Signing in with Google is optional - it keeps your Suno/Mureka keys and bands safe in your own Google Drive and brings them to your other devices, and lets you keep your song library in Drive.

We put no restrictions on how you use the songs you make here. If you plan to release one commercially, it's always wise to check the rules of the platform you publish on.

Yes. Press “Share a link” on any song in Create Music and you get a link to its own page - send it on WhatsApp, Instagram, email or anywhere, and they can listen on any phone or computer, no app needed. Shared songs play for two weeks, then they're deleted. You can also download the MP3 and send the file.

About 50 - English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Bengali, Punjabi, Telugu, Urdu and many more. Create detects the language from your lyrics (Auto), or pick it in the language menu next to the song length. Write lyrics in the language's own script for the best result.

Yes. Open the free Lyrics Generator, say what the song is about and who it's for, and it writes a title, a style and the lyrics. Press Make it a song and they go straight into Create, ready to sing. It needs a one-time setup download of about 1.3 GB), so your description stays private.

Yes. Your lyrics and your music are made inside your browser tab and never sent to us or anyone else. There's no database on our end for anything to sit in. See the full Privacy & Terms.

Yes - pick them under Engine on Create. You add your own key from them and pay them directly at their own price; we never mark anything up.

Suno (via kie.ai) - very consistent vocal quality, priced per song. Mureka - usually cheaper per song, several takes per request. Create shows a cost estimate before you make the song.

Wondering how the free Swara Engine compares? See Swara Sound vs Suno.

1. Check it's in the right field - kie.ai's key goes in "kie.ai (Suno) key", Mureka's own key in "Mureka API key". They're not interchangeable.
2. Check it still has credit on the provider's own dashboard (kie.ai or platform.mureka.ai).
3. The error message after Generate comes straight from Suno/Mureka - it's the most accurate thing to search for.

No. Swara Sound is independent; it talks to their public APIs only when you add your own key. Trademarks belong to their owners.

The Swara Engine is built on open-source models - see Credits & licences.

Try these first: reload the page, close other heavy tabs (the engine needs memory), and make sure Chrome/Edge is up to date. If a song stops halfway, the graphics chip may have been reset by Windows - pressing Create again usually works.

For Suno/Mureka songs, check the provider's own status: kie.ai, platform.mureka.ai.

Clearing your browser's site data for swarasound.com removes the song engine, your saved songs and any settings. On Make instrumental the Remove link deletes just the engine. If you signed in, revoke Swara Sound on your Google Account permissions page and delete the "Swara Sound" folders from your Drive if you like. Nothing is left on our end, because nothing was ever stored there.
