In today’s digital age, platforms like Instagram, owned by Facebook, have become vital for promoting music and building a presence as an internet celebrity. With the ability to add a song to Instagram Stories or Reels, musicians can enhance their content using production music or even upload their own tracks.
Whether using Apple Inc. devices or others, you can scroll through your camera roll, take a photo or video, and easily add music with Instagram’s "Music" sticker, available in the top right corner of the screen. The platform automatically syncs your music, allowing users to preview and share clips.
Depending on your distribution, you could earn paid royalties. Follow the guide to leverage Instagram’s tools, from free music options to full song previews, and grow your fanbase with ease.
How to upload your music to Instagram?
The first step is to create a music file for Instagram Reels. You can use any audio editing software to do this. Once your music file is created, save it in an MP3 format. This is a common format understood by Instagram's Music Library.
Once your music file is in MP3 format, upload music to Instagram. Open the Instagram app on your phone. Go to the "Media" tab, tap on the "+" icon, and select "Music" from the Instagram Music Library. Then, choose the music file you want to upload.
Finally, add a caption and tap on "Share." Your music will now be available for your followers on Instagram, enhancing your presence in the Instagram Reels community.
After selecting the music you want to use, click on it. You'll see various options. Click "Share" to preview your video with the included music. If satisfied, click "Share" in the bottom right corner to upload music to Instagram.
