5 Best apps to add music to videos

Videos with filmy background music are a new rage among the youth. Almost every teenager who uses the phone’s camera may have used short video apps. Why am I saying this? Out of 12 teenagers I know, 11 of them use apps like TikTok. TikTok has been banned in my country.

Although there are applications that let you create a video with custom background music, the apps will process videos on their servers and allow you to download the new video. Some applications may/may not allow you to use custom background sounds. Sometimes, you may download an app that adds music to videos without learning its functions. This short video app will make the video available for everyone automatically without displaying any privacy options. You install this app and add music to your private video with it. A few minutes later, you find out that 100s of users have watched your video. The only thing you can do is regret using the application. Another great reason to use a dedicated “add music to video” app is that someone may have sent you a hilarious audio clip, and you want to use the audio of the clip as the background sound for a video stored on your phone.

If you want to share the video with custom background audio of your choice with your family members or friends only, or you want to add custom background music/audio to a video clip, you can use one of the apps I’ve shared below. These applications have a single function of adding music to videos saved on the phone, and they work without the internet.
