An AI jingle generator makes a short sung tune from a slogan you write and a line describing the sound, for radio and streaming ads, podcast intros, store videos and social posts. In Toybox AI, the lyrics and style go into Music Generator, which returns two versions per run, and AI Writer can draft the slogan first. Below are slogan formulas, lyric templates sized for 6, 15 and 30 seconds, the ad length limits, and what you can protect.
What you can make with an AI jingle generator
A jingle is a short song or sung phrase that repeats a business name or slogan. With an AI jingle maker, these are the pieces a small business can produce without hiring a composer:
- A sung tag of 3 to 6 seconds. The business name and a short slogan, used at the end of every ad and video. It fits a 6-second YouTube bumper ad.
- A 15-second jingle. Name, one benefit, and where to find you, for short video ads and social clips.
- A 30-second radio or streaming jingle. A verse and a chorus, or a chorus sung twice with the details in between.
- A podcast intro and outro. A sung show name over a short beat, and a matching instrumental for the ending.
- An instrumental bed. Run the same style as "Instrumental" to get backing music for a spoken ad, so the voiceover and the jingle sound related.
- A jingle for an event. A fundraiser, a grand opening or a seasonal sale, with the date sung in the chorus.
Jingle lengths by where it plays
Whichever AI jingle creator you use, size the jingle to the slot before you write it. The ad platforms publish these limits, current in September 2026:
| Where it plays | Length limit | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Spotify music ads | Up to 30 seconds | Longer music ads of up to 60 seconds are sold only in some markets, on direct campaigns, and can be skipped after 30 |
| Spotify podcast ads | Up to 30 seconds | Streaming ad insertion |
| YouTube bumper ads | 6 seconds (5 seconds minimum) | Non-skippable |
| YouTube skippable in-stream ads | No maximum | Viewers can skip after 5 seconds, so sing the name early |
| YouTube non-skippable in-stream ads | 15 to 60 seconds | Depends on the campaign type |
Spotify also recommends no more than 65 words in a 30-second ad script and about 100 words for 60 seconds. Singing stretches words out, so plan a 30-second jingle as a short verse and a chorus, with the offer spoken over the end.
Spotify's technical specs for audio ads: MP3, WAV or OGG, 44.1kHz, stereo, 192 to 320 kbps, and loudness of minus 16 LUFS, within 1.5 either way. Export your final ad from an audio editor with those settings.
Write the slogan with an AI jingle writer
Write the slogan before you think about the music, because it's the line people will remember. Keep it to one idea: who you are and why someone should pick you. Any AI jingle writer, including AI Writer, can give you options to choose from.
A slogan that sings well has:
- The business name at the start or the end, so it isn't buried in the middle of the line.
- Four to eight words. Long enough for one benefit, short enough to sing in one breath.
- One concrete benefit. "Open till midnight", "Same-day repairs", "Baked before sunrise". Not "quality and service".
- A sound hook. A rhyme, a repeated word or alliteration: "Drizzlewick fixes drips".
AI Writer takes the brief in its "What should we write?" box. Set Type to "Ad" and Length to "Medium" so there's room for a list, then tap "Write it" (currently 5 credits). A brief with enough to go on: "Write 10 short jingle slogans for Pippenrye Bakery, a neighborhood bakery that bakes bread before sunrise and opens at 6 AM. Each slogan should be 4 to 8 words, include the name Pippenrye, and be easy to sing. Give some with rhymes and some with repetition."

Tips for better AI jingles
Sing the name at least twice. Put it in the first line and the last line, so a listener who tunes in late still hears it.
Pick a tempo that matches the offer. "Upbeat, bouncy, 120 bpm, ukulele and handclaps" suits a bakery. "Confident, steady, warm acoustic guitar and light drums" suits a plumber or an accountant. Put that line in "Describe your song".
Keep the words plain. Numbers, street names and prices are hard to catch in a song. Sing one of them, and put the rest in the spoken part of the ad or on screen.
Pick the clearer of the two versions. Music Generator returns two versions per run. Keep the one where every syllable of the name is clear, even if the other has the catchier tune.
Use "Sounds to leave out". Typing "long intro, guitar solo, fade out" there asks for an arrangement that reaches the words sooner.
Reuse one sung intro across episodes. YouTube's monetization rules allow the same intro and outro across videos as long as the rest of each video is different, so a podcast or channel can open every episode with one sung tag.
Who owns your jingle
Three different rules apply to a jingle, and they protect different parts of it. This is general information, not legal advice.
- Slogans can't be copyrighted. The Copyright Office's Circular 33 lists slogans, mottos and short phrases as uncopyrightable, and notes they may be protected under trademark law instead.
- A jingle can be a trademark. A trademark identifies your goods or services, and the USPTO's page of sound mark examples includes a musical jingle for Mister Softee ice cream trucks, NBC's chimes and Nokia's guitar notes.
- AI-made music has limited copyright. Under the Copyright Office's January 2025 conclusions, a tune and vocal made by AI may not be protectable unless a person shaped enough of them. The lyrics you wrote can be.
- The tool's terms apply. In Toybox's Terms of Service, the ownership line covers your outputs, subject to the Terms, but its examples stop at images, text, video and code. Check the Terms before an ad goes out. ElevenLabs, for comparison, limits its Free plan to personal use.
If the jingle will play on YouTube, read YouTube's rules for AI music on the disclosure setting and Content ID claims.
Limits to know
- Needs Pro. A jingle run currently costs 95 credits, and Music Generator works only on Pro or higher plans, which currently start at $9.99 a month for 1,000 credits (see the plans page).
- No length setting. Exactly 15 or 30 seconds isn't something you can request. Download the MP3, cut it to the slot in an audio editor, and fade the last second.
- No melody or voice input. Audio files can't be uploaded, so an existing company tune or anyone's voice can't be copied.
- Words can blur. Listen for the business name in both versions. If it's unclear, respell it the way it sounds in the lyrics, or put it at the start of a short line, and run it again.
Make a jingle in Music Generator
Before you start: a Pro plan, the slogan, and lyrics sized for the ad slot. An AI jingle song generator can't know your hours or your address, so every detail you want sung has to be in the lyrics.
- Put the business name or slogan in "Song title" in Music Generator (80 characters max).
- In "Describe your song", name the genre, tempo, instruments and singer, such as "Upbeat pop jingle, 120 bpm, ukulele, handclaps, bright female vocals" (up to 1,000 characters).
- Paste the jingle lyrics into "Lyrics".
- Under "More options", add "long intro, guitar solo" or other unwanted parts to "Sounds to leave out".
- Choose "Create song". Two takes come back in a few minutes, and a failed run is refunded.
- Download the clearer version as an MP3, trim it to the slot, and export it from your audio editor at the platform's specs.
