5 apps to add music to Instagram photos
The social network Instagram is a platform for sharing interesting photos and videos. But how can you make your posts more intriguing and memorable? Help in this matter will be provided by the superimposed music on the photo on Instagram.

How to add music to photos on Instagram?
Many successful bloggers often supplement the photo with a specially selected composition.
This action has a number of positive aspects.
- This format is currently a trend, for example, downloaded videos from TikTok most often fall into the “Recommendations”.
- Musical accompaniment allows you to draw attention to the desired photo or publication.
- In addition to visual perception, users are included in the work and sound.
- Subscribers really like it when an interesting blogger uses their favorite songs to decorate their photos. Subsequently, hearing this song, they will definitely remember your post.
Measure is important in everything. If the author of the photo often uses music, publications will quickly lose their originality and novelty effect.

The principle of working with these programs is quite simple and has no significant differences: you need to add a picture and the selected musical accompaniment, determine the duration of the track and simply cut off the excess.

Can there be copyright issues?
Copyright is a kind of protection of human works. The rights of the author can be:
- visual. They protect the legal right of the author who created games, videos, images, posted photographs, drawings and pictures for public viewing;
- written. They apply to various literary works: books, excerpts from them, texts, etc.;
- audio. Protect voice messages, music, songs, etc.
By posting on social networks, you should not violate copyright.
No matter how strange it may sound, any composition has an owner. And he may not like that his creation is used by others, even if they do not pursue selfish goals.
Protecting their users, social networks apply penalties to violators of the order: they remove material and even block the profile. Today, unpleasant cases are not uncommon when a person tried, put his soul into his brainchild, spent time and energy, and as a result not only did not receive recognition, but also became a thief.
After all, ignorance of the laws does not give the right to break them. And Instagram is very good at watching, imposing a number of restrictions on the offender.
How to avoid an unpleasant situation? You can record music on a voice recorder, and only then insert it into a video or overlay it on a photo. Of course, the quality of such musical accompaniment will significantly decrease after the actions taken. But the risks will be minimal.
Music can be speeded up or slowed down. This will significantly reduce the possibility of deleting the publication.
But the best method is to use music that is not copyrighted. In the track libraries, which are available on both Facebook and YouTube, you can listen to and borrow such musical creations.
Conclusion
As we can see, there are no particular difficulties in imposing music on photographs. When uploading your work to Instagram, be aware of the restrictions on the length of the video and observe copyright.
