How it works

  1. Write a prompt

    Describe what you want in plain words. Subject, style and mood all help.

  2. Pick a model and settings

    Choose a model and adjust its settings. The credit cost is shown before you run.

  3. Generate and download

    Run it, then download the result or find it in your creations when it is ready.

Apps for your next project

Apps open in a new tab, keeping your current tool input. Review the prompt, model and settings before generating.

Workflows this tool can help with

  • Game makers sketching an interaction sound

    Describe the action and material, such as a wooden door opening. Choose an available duration and audition the output with the interaction before integrating it.

  • Video editors adding a scene sound

    Describe the sound source and environment for a shot. Listen to the delivered effect alongside dialogue and music to check timing and balance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I describe a sound effect?

Describe the sound, its setting and length, such as 'footsteps on wet gravel, slow'.

Can I get a different version of the same sound?

You can change the description or settings and submit a new generation. Review the current credit cost first. A new request is not a free redo and does not guarantee a more suitable result.

Can I choose any sound-effect length?

The current ElevenLabs SFX form offers 5-second and 10-second duration settings. Choose an available option and check the delivered length by listening; the form does not offer arbitrary custom durations.

Which AI models are available?

This tool runs on ElevenLabs SFX.

How many credits does one run cost?

Each run uses ElevenLabs SFX and costs 6 credits. The cost is shown before you generate.

Am I charged if a generation fails?

Requests rejected before task admission are not charged. When a task finally fails, the system releases reserved credits against its original debit record. Check the task and credit records for the settled balance. A status-query error alone is not a final task failure; task credit releases are not payment or subscription cash refunds.

Where can I check progress and see the delivered result?

After submission, the page shows processing, completion, content blocking or failure. If the status lookup fails, retry the status query; that does not mean the task itself failed. A successful task with an asset link shows an image or an audio/video player and a download link below. You can switch between multiple delivered outputs when present. If completion has no preview, check My Creations. No fixed completion time or percentage is promised.

Do changing settings or viewing results start another generation?

No. Reading FAQs, changing inputs or settings, and viewing, playing or downloading existing outputs do not submit a generation. Uploading and checking a quote are preparation steps. Review the selected model, inputs and current credit cost, then click Generate to submit. Clicking Generate again is a new request with its own cost; retries of a status query only check the existing task.

Pay only for what you generate. Failed or blocked runs return their credits.
