Audio tools

Freepik includes four audio tools for generating and transforming sound: a Voice Generator for text-to-speech voiceovers, a Voice Changer to transform existing recordings, a Sound Effects Generator for synced sound design, and a Music Generator for AI-composed tracks. This guide covers all four in one place.

Voice Generator

The Voice Generator turns any written text into a spoken voiceover. Write your script, choose a voice, select a model, and generate audio ready to download or use directly in a video project.

How to generate a voiceover

Voice parameters

Voice models

Three AI models are available for voiceover generation. Each has different strengths.

ElevenLabs v2 is the fastest option. Use it when you need to generate many voiceovers quickly or iterate on scripts during production. It supports Speed, Stability, and Similarity Boost parameters. Script limit: 5,000 characters.

ElevenLabs v3 delivers more natural prosody and intonation than v2. Pacing, emphasis, and emotional tone feel closer to a human read. Use it for final output when quality matters most. Same parameters as v2. Script limit: 5,000 characters.

Gemini 2.5 Pro excels at multi-language content and conversational delivery. It supports Temperature, System Instruction, and Language selection. Script limit: 40,000 characters, ideal for long narration.

Voice library

The voice library contains hundreds of AI voices organized by category. You can browse, search, and preview any voice before using it.

• All Voices - Browse the full catalog.
• My Voices - Access your cloned voices and saved favorites.
• Preview - Click any voice to hear a sample before selecting it.
• Search - Filter by name, language, or style.

Multi-speaker voiceovers

Generate dialogue between two speakers in a single generation. This is useful for conversations, interviews, podcast-style content, or any script with more than one voice.

Voice Cloning

Voice Cloning lets you create a custom AI voice from audio samples of a real voice. Once cloned, the voice appears in My Voices and can be used in any audio tool.

Voice Changer

The Voice Changer transforms an existing audio recording into a different voice while preserving the spoken content. Upload a recording, choose a target voice from the library, and the AI re-voices it. Useful for adapting recorded content to a different speaker, changing tone, or applying a cloned voice to existing audio.

Sound Effects Generator

The Sound Effects Generator creates audio from short, descriptive text prompts. Use it for video sound design, game audio, UI sounds, or any project that needs custom sound effects.

Music Generator

The Music Generator composes original music tracks from text prompts. Think of the prompt as a producer brief: describe the genre, mood, instrumentation, tempo, and whether you want vocals or an instrumental track. Two models are available: ElevenLabs Music and Google Lyria.

How to generate music

Music models

ElevenLabs Music is best overall for production-ready music. It offers control over structure, BPM, key, and vocal intent. Tracks can be up to 3 minutes long.

Google Lyria excels at ambient, mood-based, and atmospheric tracks where feel matters more than technical structure. Max 30 seconds.

Quick guide: which model to choose

Prompting tips for music

Structure your music prompts like a producer brief. Include as many of these elements as relevant:

Managing your creations

All generated audio is saved automatically to your account. Access it from Recent creations on the AI Suite homepage or from the History tab inside each tool.

• Download - Save any audio file to your device.
• Use in video - Add voiceovers or music directly in the Video Editor, or use sound effects in the Clip Editor.
• Use with Lip Sync - Any generated voiceover can be used as the audio input in Lip Sync to animate a character mouth movements.

Possible issues

Generated voice sounds robotic or unnatural

Try switching to a different model — ElevenLabs v3 generally produces the most natural results. Make sure your script uses proper punctuation: commas create short pauses, periods create longer ones. Avoid ALL CAPS or unusual formatting. If a specific word is mispronounced, try spelling it phonetically.

Voice Cloning result doesn't sound like the original

The quality of your input samples matters more than anything else. Use clear recordings with no background noise or music, at least 30 seconds total. Speak naturally — don't read in a monotone. If the result still doesn't match, try uploading different samples or adding more (up to 5).

Script is too long for the selected model

ElevenLabs v2 and v3 support up to approximately 5,000 characters per generation. Gemini 2.5 Pro supports up to 40,000 characters. If your script exceeds the limit, either switch to Gemini or split it into shorter segments and generate each one separately.

Voice Changer output has artifacts or distortion

The input audio must be clean — background noise, music, or overlapping speakers will degrade the result. Use MP3 or WAV format for best quality. If the output still has issues, try a shorter clip first to test before converting longer recordings.

Sound effect doesn't match the prompt

Be specific. Instead of "explosion," try "distant muffled explosion with debris falling on concrete." Include details about environment, intensity, and duration. Avoid abstract or emotional descriptions — the model works best with concrete, physical sounds.

Music track loops awkwardly or ends abruptly

Set the duration to match your needs before generating. If you need a seamless loop, mention "loopable" or "seamless loop" in your prompt. For tracks that need a clean ending, include "with fade out" or "with natural ending" in the description.

Credits consumed but generation failed

If a generation fails due to a system error, credits are refunded automatically. Check your credit balance in your account settings. If credits were deducted and you received no output, contact support.
