What a jingle is, and what this tool makes
A jingle is a short sung or spoken-sung phrase built around a brand name and one message, designed to be remembered after a single listen. Think of a radio station ident, a podcast opener, the three-second sting at the start of a YouTube video, or the line a shop plays on hold. The craft is repetition: the name, a rhythm, a simple melody, and then silence.
TuneSplit's jingle template is a form with two fields. The first is the brand name, such as Bean There Café. The second is what you sell or your slogan. Behind the form, the site builds a request for a short, catchy advertising jingle that repeats the brand name in the hook, using the message you gave. The defaults are a bright retro jingle style, an energetic mood and a female vocal, and you can change all three.
Every generation returns two versions made by two different models, MiniMax Music v2 and ACE-Step, so you hear two takes of the same brief. You can play both, download the MP3 of either one and share a link. There is no voice cloning and no imitation of real brands or singers: the vocals are generated voices and every result is an original piece.
One thing to know early: this is a song generator, not a dedicated 5-second sting machine. It produces full songs, and the free tier caps them at 2 minutes. A jingle is therefore something you make and then trim, which the sections below explain step by step.
What other AI jingle makers offer, and where this page differs
A quick look at the results for this search in Oct 2026 shows two kinds of tool. Prompt-based music generators ask for a mood, style, tempo and length and return a clip, with paid plans from about $9 a month. Voice-focused tools built for radio, such as stream-hosting platforms, let you type up to roughly 600 characters of speech with an AI voice, layer music under it and export station IDs and DJ drops. Directory pages for newer jingle tools tend to list a free starter credit and a feature list, but few explain how to write the line that makes the jingle work.
TuneSplit sits in the first group, with a sung result rather than a read-out voiceover. What it adds on this page is the missing practical layer: how to write the two-line hook, prompt formulas by jingle type, how to cut the output to the length you need, and straight answers about limits and licences.
| Need | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A sung hook with your brand name in it | Song-style generator such as TuneSplit | Writes lyrics and melody together, two versions per try |
| A spoken station ID with exact wording | Voice-over tool with a text-to-speech voice | Reads your exact words, no melody to get wrong |
| Wordless background music for an intro | Instrumental generation | Choose instrumental in the vocal setting |
| A sound-alike of a famous brand tune | Nothing here | TuneSplit does not imitate real jingles or artists |
Write the hook first: the two-line slogan formula
The single biggest lever on jingle quality is the text you type into the second field. A vague slogan gives you a vague song. Aim for two short lines, roughly four to eight syllables each, in this shape.
- Line one: the brand name plus a verb or benefit. 'Bean There Café, wake up happy.'
- Line two: a rhythmic payoff that rhymes or echoes line one. 'Fresh at six, we fix your day.'
- Repeat the name once more at the end of the chorus. Say it aloud three times: if it feels like a chant, it will sing like a hook.
- Keep one claim only. 'Open at 6am' or 'fresh coffee', not hours, menu, address and discount code together.
If the brand name is unusual, add a phonetic spelling in brackets in the details, for example 'Qwikly (say: QUICK-lee)'. Sung pronunciation is the most common thing to fix, and it usually takes one extra try.
Prompt formulas by jingle type
The template does the basic framing, and the second box accepts any extra instructions you want. Use the table as a starting point. The lengths in the third column are what you aim for after trimming, not what the generator outputs.
| Jingle type | Target cut | What to type in the details |
|---|---|---|
| Shop or cafe jingle | 15 to 30 s | Brand name, one product, one feeling: 'fresh coffee, open at 6am, wake up happy'. Keep the bright retro default. |
| Podcast intro | 10 to 20 s | Show name and a one-word vibe: 'The Quiet Hour, calm late-night chat'. Set mood to chill and ask for a warm hook. |
| YouTube or Reels intro sting | 5 s | Channel name only, mood energetic, style such as synth pop. Cut the first few seconds that contain the name. |
| Radio-style ident | 5 to 10 s | Station name and frequency as words: 'Harbour FM, your sound'. Ask for a punchy upbeat hook. |
| Hold music with a tag | 30 s plus loop | Brand name, relaxed mood, choose instrumental, then add a sung tag from a second generation. |
| Event or product launch | 15 to 30 s | Product name, one benefit, epic or energetic mood. Avoid dates in the sung part. |
Style words that tend to help a jingle: bright, retro, catchy, hook-driven, claps, bouncy bass, glockenspiel, whistle, handclaps. Words that tend to hurt: long scenes, several characters, a story arc or a whole verse about your history. A jingle is not a ballad.
How it sounds: real generations from the same engine
The tracks below are unedited generations from TuneSplit made while the site was built. They are not jingles, so treat them as a demonstration of the two models and of clean vocals, not as a promise about any particular brand brief.
Sunlight is an upbeat indie pop prompt rendered by both models. Version A took about 94 seconds and runs 2:30; the ACE-Step version B came back in about 27 seconds and runs 1:44. That spread is typical: the ACE-Step take lands within roughly 10 to 30 seconds, and the MiniMax take often takes 60 to 95 seconds. Notice that both are over a minute long, which is why trimming is part of the workflow.
Trim a full-length song to 5, 15 or 30 seconds
Because songs come out full length, you cut the best part yourself. It takes two minutes in any free audio editor such as Audacity, or in the audio tools of your video editor. The method is the same everywhere.
- Download the MP3 of the version you prefer.
- Open it in your editor and find the chorus or the first place where the brand name is sung. This is your hook.
- Select from half a beat before the name to the end of the phrase. For a 5 second sting that is often just the name and one line. For 15 seconds, use the full two-line hook once. For 30 seconds, use the hook, a short bridge and the hook again.
- Cut on a beat, not mid-word. Zoom in and place the cut on a waveform dip.
- Add a fade-out of 0.3 to 1 second so the end does not click. Add a 50 millisecond fade-in if the start pops.
- Export as MP3 or WAV at the sample rate your platform asks for. For voice-heavy content, check the loudness against your other audio so the jingle does not jump out.
Pricing, free limits and commercial use
No sign-up is needed. Each browser gets 30 free credits each UTC day. A generation costs 10 credits and returns two versions, so that is three generations and six songs a day. Free songs run up to 2 minutes.
Commercial rights are the part to read carefully. Songs made on the free tier are for personal, non-commercial use. A paid plan adds a commercial licence for videos, podcasts, games and client work. That means a jingle for your own business ads, a monetised podcast or a client project needs a paid plan, even though you can test and demo ideas for free.
Paid plans are live. The Pro plan is $9.90 a month or $99 a year with 450 credits a month, songs up to 3 minutes, a commercial licence and full-length stems. Premier is $24.90 a month or $259 a year with 1,000 credits. Credit packs are 200 credits for $4.90 and 600 credits for $12.90, valid for 12 months. A pack suits a single jingle project: at 10 credits a generation, 200 credits is 20 tries.
Honest limits
- No fixed lengths. The tool does not output a guaranteed 5, 15 or 30 second file. You get a full song and trim it.
- Pronunciation can slip. Brand names, acronyms, numbers and non-English words sometimes come out wrong. Respell phonetically and retry.
- Not a sound-alike service. TuneSplit will not copy a famous jingle, clone a voice or sing in the style of a named artist. If a result happens to resemble something you know, do not use it.
- Trademark and legal checks are yours. A catchy line may collide with an existing slogan. Search the phrase before you put money behind it.
- Generic by default. The retro female vocal default is pleasant but common. Change style, mood and vocal if you want to stand out.
- Share pages. A song stays private until you press Share; after that anyone with the link can open it. Do not put private information in the details, and send the MP3 file if you want to keep it private.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free AI jingle generator?
Yes. TuneSplit needs no sign-up, and each browser gets 30 credits each UTC day, which is three generations and six songs. Free songs include an MP3 download and a share link. They are for personal, non-commercial use only.
Can I use the jingle commercially?
Not on the free tier. Free songs are for personal, non-commercial use. A paid plan adds a commercial licence for videos, podcasts, games and client work. The Pro plan, at $9.90 a month, includes it. Check the Terms and pricing pages for the details.
How long will the jingle be?
The generator makes full songs, not fixed 5, 15 or 30 second clips. Free songs run up to 2 minutes and Pro goes up to 3. You choose the best moment and trim it in an audio editor, which takes a couple of minutes with a free tool.
What should I type for the slogan?
One idea in two short lines: the brand name plus a benefit, then a rhythmic payoff. For example, 'fresh coffee, open at 6am, wake up happy'. Avoid lists, phone numbers and web addresses. Short words with open vowels sing more clearly.
Can it make a podcast intro?
Yes. Enter the show name, pick a mood such as chill or energetic and a vocal, then trim the best 10 to 20 seconds. For music under your spoken intro, choose instrumental. Keep the same intro across episodes so listeners recognise it.
Can it make a radio-style ident or station ID?
It can make a sung ident with the station name in the hook, usually a few seconds after trimming. If you need exact spoken wording read by an announcer voice, a text-to-speech tool is more reliable because a song model may bend words to fit the melody.
Why does it mispronounce my brand name?
Unusual names, acronyms and numbers are hard for singing models. Add a phonetic spelling in the details, such as 'Qwikly (say: QUICK-lee)', or try the other version. Regenerating usually fixes it within one or two tries.
How fast is it?
Usually about a minute. The ACE-Step version often finishes in 10 to 30 seconds and the MiniMax Music v2 version in about 60 to 95 seconds. Each generation returns both, so you can hear one quickly and compare it with the other.
Can it copy a famous jingle or sing in a brand's voice?
No. TuneSplit does not clone voices and does not imitate real jingles, brands or singers. Results are original generations with generated voices. If a result sounds close to something you know, do not use it for your brand.
Can I get an instrumental-only jingle?
Yes. Set the vocal to instrumental to get music with no singing. It is useful for podcast beds, hold music and game loops. You can then add your own recorded tag or voice-over on top in an editor.
How much does it cost to make a jingle?
Free: 30 credits a day, and a generation costs 10 credits. Paid options are Pro at $9.90 a month and credit packs from $4.90 for 200 credits, valid 12 months. A failed generation is refunded automatically.
Can I make a jingle on my phone?
Yes. The form, player and download work in a mobile browser on iPhone and Android with nothing to install. For trimming, use a free audio editor app or your video editor, then export the cut.
