Udio

Overview

Udio is an AI music generator that creates full songs from a text prompt, writing the lyrics and performing the vocals across a wide range of genres and track lengths. Its distinguishing feature is section-level editing, sometimes called inpainting: instead of regenerating a whole track, you select a passage and have Udio rework only that part while the rest stays intact, which suits producers who want to co-author with the model. Paid plans unlock longer tracks and commercial usage. Following a licensing partnership with a major record label, downloads of audio, video and stems were disabled as of early 2026, so the state of exports should be checked against Udio before relying on it.

Best for creators who want vocal songs with fine-grained, section-level editing.

Udio stands out for section-level inpainting, the ability to regenerate a single passage of a song rather than roll the dice on the whole track, which gives producers unusually fine control over vocal music. The catch is exports: after a major-label licensing deal, audio, video and stem downloads were suspended pending a relicensed platform, and litigation around the space is ongoing, so confirm what you can actually download before committing to it.
