Features

Google Lyria 3 Pro is Google’s premium AI music generation model.

Optionally guide the output with a reference image.


Why Choose This?

  • Image-guided generation Upload a reference image to inspire the musical mood and atmosphere of the clip.

  • Prompt Enhancer Built-in tool to automatically refine your music descriptions for richer results.


Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptYesText description of the desired music style, genre, tempo, and instruments.
imageNoReference image to guide the mood and atmosphere of the generated music.

How to Use

  1. Write your prompt — describe the genre, tempo, instruments, mood, and style. Use the Prompt Enhancer for better results.
  2. Upload a reference image (optional) — provide an image to inspire the musical atmosphere.
  3. Submit — generate and download your music clip.

Example Prompt

Dark ambient sci-fi underscore, deep pulsing bass drones, ethereal synth pads, subtle percussion, tense and mysterious, space horror atmosphere, no melody, slow tempo.


Pricing

Just $0.08 per clip.


Best Use Cases

  • Film & Video Scoring — Generate high-quality music beds and underscore for professional video productions.
  • Game & Interactive Media — Produce rich atmospheric tracks and dynamic soundscapes for games and apps.
  • Advertising & Brand Content — Create polished custom music for campaigns without licensing fees.
  • Podcast & Streaming — Generate premium intro, outro, and background music for audio content.
  • Creative Production — Rapidly prototype and explore musical styles with professional-grade output.

Pro Tips

  • Be specific about BPM, key instruments, and energy level for the most accurate results.
  • Put exclusions in the prompt itself, for example “no vocals” or “no drums”.
  • Generation is not deterministic; run the same prompt again to get a new variation.
  • Try pairing atmospheric images with a minimal prompt to let the image drive the mood.
  • Use the Prompt Enhancer to expand a simple style reference into a detailed music description.

Notes

  • Only prompt is required; image is optional.
  • Please ensure your content complies with Google’s usage policies.
