copyright claim for a pixabay track?

According to public replies from Pixabay staff, music downloaded directly from Pixabay is covered by the Pixabay License. The shield icon identifies tracks that participate in YouTube’s Content ID system. Claims may still occur due to automated matching or third-party registrations. Disputes must be submitted through YouTube Studio. TrackDataPad does not provide legal advice or guarantee dispute outcomes. For additional context, see public replies from Pixabay staff in their community forums:

• Pixabay Forum Post I
• Pixabay Forum Post II

For autofill, you must be logged into Pixabay so the extension can read your public metadata, but you can generate a record manually with the track link.

While we assist with the process, we cannot guarantee the outcome. YouTube independently reviews the dispute you submit.

No. TrackDataPad does not validate, verify, certify, or alter your rights in any way. It only organizes public information from the track page (title, artist, link, your download date) into a tidy record you can attach to your dispute message.

Because Pixabay already provides a downloadable file for Content-ID-registered tracks.

For non-Content-ID music, Pixabay does not issue any downloadable file.

Users must manually gather the info themselves.

TrackDataPad simply automates something users already do manually and helps you:

• capture the track's public information
• include optional context you find helpful
• save everything in one place

It's a convenience tool, not a license generator.

In similar cases, Pixabay staff have recommended:

• Contact the uploader through their Pixabay profile
• A brief note that the track follows the Pixabay License (include track title + link).

No. TrackDataPad is an independent helper tool. It is not endorsed by, partnered with, or officially connected to Pixabay in any way. TrackDataPad only reads publicly visible metadata from track pages you choose to open.

Yes. TrackDataPad is free for individual record generation. A paid subscription is only required for batch features and higher-volume workflows.

TrackDataPad does not sell or share your data. Generated records stay with you. Temporary technical data is used only to run the service and prevent abuse.

Archiving creates a public snapshot of the track's page for reference. TrackDataPad does not upload your audio, videos, or personal content anywhere.

Pixabay does not provide a public API for music metadata. Because of that, TrackDataPad cannot fetch artist names or your Pixabay username directly from the server.

The bookmarklet and extension solve this by reading the information directly from the track page in your own browser, the same data you can already see.
