"Royalty free" means you pay once for a license and can use the effect according to its terms without paying additional royalties. Some uses—like advertising campaigns, product launches, or broadcasts—might require a new license. For more details on uses, please see our license types page.

Do I need credits to download sound effects?

Yes — credits let you easily license effects. You can preview freely, but credits are required to license and download the full effect.

Can I use sound effects in videos, games, or apps?

Yes. Our Standard License A covers most online uses, including sound effects in YouTube videos and social media content. For games, apps, or interactive products, the license allows up to 5,000 downloads or unit sales. If you need a license for larger distribution, please get in touch with us.
