Udio capabilities

Beyond text prompts, Udio can take an uploaded audio clip (or a track from the user's library) as the seed and create, extend, remix, restyle, or selectively regenerate it. Inpainting lets a user select part of a waveform and regenerate just that section using the surrounding context.

As a result of Udio's partnership/settlement with Universal Music Group, downloading of audio, video, and stems has been disabled. Generated songs currently live inside Udio's environment and cannot be exported off-platform, a constraint introduced during the transition to a licensed platform.

Udio does not claim ownership of the content a user generates from their inputs -- the user owns the output. Commercial use is permitted, but attribution requirements differ by plan tier.

Udio gates usage through three subscription tiers with monthly credit allowances. Credits do not roll over -- any unused monthly credits are forfeited at the end of the billing period -- while separately purchased a la carte credits never expire.

Udio generates a complete, mixed song -- vocals, instrumentation, and lyrics -- from a single natural-language text prompt describing genre, mood, and theme. Each generation produces two candidate songs as raw high-fidelity audio rather than MIDI.
