Creators and media producers, including video and film editors, game developers, and other users who need sound effects; developers can also integrate sound-effect generation into their own products and workflows through ElevenAPI.
About SFX v3
SFX v3 is ElevenLabs’ text-to-sound-effects model, offered through the ElevenCreative platform and ElevenAPI rather than as a separate standalone application. It turns written prompts into short audio clips for video, games, interactive media, film, trailers, Foley, and ambient sound design. Prompts can describe multiple actions or sounds in sequence, as well as musical elements and vocals. In ElevenCreative, users can generate effects in the Sound Effects area, Flows, Studio, and Music Editor; developers can call the sound-effects API using the model ID eleven_text_to_sound_v3 to add generation to their own applications and workflows. Available controls include duration, looping, and prompt influence, and generation can produce effects up to 30 seconds. SFX v3 is in limited access, so availability may vary by account and region.
