How to Make AI Song Covers for Free

PDF download Download Article
  1. This free app makes creating an AI cover song on your computer easier than ever. Replay has many AI vocal models from famous artists, including 21 Savage, Drake, Kanye West, Britney Spears, and Freddie Mercury. You can even choose non-singers, like politicians and actors. Replay is only available on computers, as mobile devices don't have the processing power to run these sorts of models.
    • To get the app, go to https://www.tryreplay.io and click the download link for your Mac version. Note that if you have a Mac, there are separate download links for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Once downloaded, double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install.
    • If you're using a phone or tablet, check out our list of web-based AI song tools , some of which have free tiers.
  2. Replay supports MP3, OPUS, FLAC, WEBM, WEBA, WAV, OGG, M4A, MID, AIFF, WMA, AU, OGM, WMV, MPG, MOV, ASX, OGV, MP4, M4V, and AVI files. You can download audio files or create your own!
    • The Replay app works best on more powerful computers. If you have a separate GPU or a very powerful CPU, you can generate an AI cover quickly. The app will work with 8 GB of RAM, but 16 GB or more is recommended.
    • Alternatively, you can find a song you want to use on YouTube and allow Replay to download it.
    • You won't have to separate the vocals from the backing track, as Replay will do the work for you.

  3. Replay will need to download the AI model it will use to create AI song covers, which can take a while. You'll also need to have at least 1 GB of space available on your hard drive, and more for each voice model you want to use.
    • Once the files are downloaded, move through the welcome screens until you're at the screen with a "Select or drop audio here" button at the top-left corner.
  4. To do this, click the Select or drop audio here button, choose the audio file on your computer, and click Open or OK to select it.
    • If you want to use a YouTube video instead of an audio file, paste the URL into the "Enter YouTube URL field" instead.
  5. Select Musician to choose from a variety of famous singers and rappers, or try other categories for funny options like video game characters and actors. Once you choose a voice, click the Download button to download it to your computer.
  6. Most of the default options are usually fine to keep, but if you have a less powerful computer, you may want to select "Sample Mode" to create an AI song cover that's only 30 seconds long.
  7. It's at the bottom of the window.
  8. If you have a separate GPU in your computer (common with gaming PCs), choose GPU from the "Device" menu for faster AI song creation. Otherwise, leave CPU as the default. You can also select an output format like MP3 as the file type for your completed song.
    • Your completed song will also be accessible online.
  9. Because the model is processor-intensive, don't do anything else on your computer until the process is finished. Your CPU or GPU will likely hit 100% utilization during this process.
  10. To share your song, click the link icon to create a web link that's easy to paste into emails and social media.
    • Replay also creates an audio file on your computer. You can click the three-dot menu next to the song title and select Save to Downloads to save a copy of your new song to your default Downloads folder.

  1. If you don't have a PC or Mac, you can use a tool like Voicify to create AI covers of any song using thousands of vocal options, even famous rappers and singers like Drake, Ariana Grande, Juice World, and Travis Scott. There are also cartoon characters, historical figures, politicians, and more. Unlike some other AI song cover options, you won't have to split the vocals from the instrumental track yourself—Voicify takes care of that for you.
    • Voicify is not free, but their lowest-cost plan allows you to create your own AI voice models and 25 credits per month to create 25 AI song covers. Upgrade to a more advanced plan for unlimited AI song cover creations.

  2. If you want to hear Marge Simpson sing Hotline Bling or Vladimir Putin sing Bad Blood, you'll love Covers AI. There's no need to start with an audio file—you can plug in the URL of a song on YouTube, choose your novelty AI voice, and create your own AI song cover in minutes. While Covers AI isn't free, its lowest-cost subscription lets you create unlimited AI covers from 300 voices. [1] If you want to use a voice that isn't in their database, you can pay for a premium subscription to create your own AI voice models from any voice or vocalist, even your own. [2]
  3. If you want to hear David Bowie sing a Doja Cat song or see how Kurt Cobain would sound singing a SZA song, Voicedub has you covered! With a basic plan, you can create up to 5 AI song covers per month and even clone up to 1 voice if you can't find the one you're looking for. You can upgrade to a higher tier for more covers and the ability to create more custom voice models and even use the tool on your Android, iPhone, or iPad. [3]
  4. This AI tool doesn't have many built-in famous voices, but you can use it to train your own AI voice model from a vocal track or a YouTube video. [4] Even your own voice! The free version of Kits AI gives you 15 AI song cover creations per month using some built-in artist voices, but you won't be able to use this tool to make Drake sing Taylor Swift songs. Kits AI is better if you want to create your own music using professional singing voices or train the tool on your own voice to sing a famous song.

      Warnings

      • The legality of creating AI song covers is still pretty questionable. While a voice cannot be copyrighted, in the United States, if a voice is sufficient indicia of a celebrity's identity, the right of publicity protects it against its imitation for commercial properties without the celebrity's consent. [5] While making AI song covers for your own enjoyment is fun and harmless, avoid using other people's voices in your song creations commercially.
