About Aiva

AIVA is an AI-powered music generation assistant designed for creators of all skill levels—from beginners exploring generative music to seasoned producers looking to accelerate their workflow. The platform generates original songs across 250+ musical styles in a matter of seconds, eliminating the need to compose from scratch.

The tool offers significant customization capabilities. Users can upload audio or MIDI files as influence to guide the AI's output, create custom style models to match their specific sound, and edit generated tracks before export. The platform supports multiple download formats including MP3, MIDI, and WAV, making it flexible for different production pipelines and post-production needs.

AIVA addresses a critical pain point for video creators: music licensing. The free tier requires attribution and offers no monetization rights, suitable only for personal projects. The Standard plan (€11/month) grants limited monetization on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Instagram while AIVA retains copyright. The Pro plan (€33/month) gives creators full copyright ownership and unrestricted monetization, making it viable for commercial video production, streaming content, and licensing to third parties. This tiered approach lets professionals own their compositions outright—crucial for creators who plan to monetize or resell content.

Key limitations include maximum track duration of 5 minutes 30 seconds on paid tiers (3 minutes on free), which constrains use for longer-form films or extended musical pieces. The free tier caps downloads at 3 per month, and all tiers have download limits (15 for Standard, 300 for Pro). While the platform handles music generation end-to-end, video pros would typically use AIVA as a component in broader post-production workflows rather than as a complete audio solution—especially for projects requiring bespoke orchestration, dialogue integration, or specialized sound design.
