Indian lo-fi music, no copyright
Indian lo-fi you can put under a study video or a vlog without a copyright claim: original, sample-free tracks, one of them free to download with a free account. Indian lo-fi is lo-fi with a place in it: a train window in the rain, chai after midnight, an old neighbourhood at dusk. Warm Indian instruments over dusty, unhurried beats — calm enough to study to, familiar enough to feel like home. The albums here are built for that mood, and every track comes with a licence, so a chill video does not pick up a claim for a sample buried in the beat.
Why lo-fi videos get claimed
Lo-fi is built on samples — a bar lifted from an old film song, a vocal chop, a drum break — and much of the lo-fi reposted on YouTube was never cleared. A track feels free because it is everywhere, and then a label’s Content ID match lands on your study video months later. The tracks here are original productions with no samples, so there is no borrowed recording inside them for someone else’s claim to match.
Using lo-fi under different kinds of video
Lo-fi’s job is to hold a mood without asking for attention, which makes it the easiest music to put under long video: study-with-me sessions, desk setups, cooking without talking, rainy-day travel vlogs. INDIAN LOFI — After Hours is the core album, seven tracks named for the moments they score: Chai After Midnight, Monsoon On Marine Drive, Galiyon Mein Shaam, Last Train Home.
MONSOON — After the Rain takes the same mood somewhere more cinematic, with bansuri, sarangi and strings over rain and distant thunder, for videos that are more feeling than routine. BACKWATERS, from Kerala, includes a lo-fi drift through the palms among its unhurried canal pieces.
For a long video, build a playlist from several tracks rather than looping one; a new track every few minutes stops the video feeling stuck. And if the video is only the music — a lo-fi mix over a still image — talk to us first: redistributing the audio itself is something no licence tier allows.
Getting the sound right
Lo-fi is mixed soft and warm, so it can disappear on phone speakers. Sit it a little higher than you would a cinematic track under a voiceover — it has less energy to cut through — and check the video on a phone before you publish. Avoid stacking extra rain sounds or heavy reverb on top: MONSOON already carries rain and thunder, and INDIAN LOFI already has its dust and analog texture built in.

Common questions
Can I use these in study-with-me videos?+
Yes — a study session, a desk setup or a cooking video with the music underneath is exactly the kind of project the licence covers. Whether the video is monetized decides which tier you need; the answer for each album on this page is below.
Can I make a lo-fi mix video from these tracks?+
Talk to us first. The licence covers the music as part of your video; a video that is only the tracks, back to back over a still image, comes close to redistributing the audio, which no tier allows.
Which track should I start with?+
Chai After Midnight if the video is late-night or rainy. Sunday In Delhi and Chai After Midnight are the shortest tracks on INDIAN LOFI, if you only need a couple of minutes. For one piece to sit under a long, quiet scene, Monsoon On The Mat is the longest track on MONSOON.
Is Indian lo-fi the same as a “slowed and reverb” song?+
No. Slowed-and-reverb edits are usually existing songs slowed down, and they are claimed just like the originals. The lo-fi here is original music written to be unhurried, not someone else’s song stretched.
Is any of this music free to download?+
Yes — Window Seat is free with a free iReelz account: the full track without the preview watermark, and a licence certificate in your name. The free licence covers one personal, non-monetized project per download on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, with “Music by iReelz” in the description. For monetized videos, client work or using a track again and again, buy the album — its licence covers every track on it in unlimited projects.
Will I get a YouTube copyright claim for using these tracks?+
iReelz does not register its music with YouTube’s Content ID, and every licence forbids the buyer from registering it too — so the automatic matching that claims borrowed film songs has nothing of ours on file to match. If a claim appears anyway, dispute it in YouTube Studio and quote the certificate number on the licence PDF that comes with the album; anyone can check a certificate at ireelz.com/verify. A claim is also not a strike: strikes come from legal takedown requests, and iReelz is the rights holder that licensed you.
Can I use these tracks in monetized videos?+
Yes. Every album on this page is sold with Creator Pro, which covers monetized and commercial content on every platform, and client work.
Do I have to credit iReelz?+
No. Every album on this page is sold with Creator Pro, which needs no credit.
Can I use them on TV, in cinema or in ads?+
Not under the licences these albums are sold with. Broadcast, TV, film and ads need a Studio licence, and none of the albums on this page is sold at Studio — contact us if a project needs broadcast rights.
Is it a subscription? What does an album cost?+
No subscription. Each album is a one-time purchase with a perpetual licence, so videos you publish with it stay covered for good. Albums are priced by licence tier — Lite $9.99, Creator Pro $19.99 and Studio $34.99 — and buyers in India pay in rupees: ₹499, ₹999 and ₹1,999. Each album below shows its own price.
