How to Download Tidal Music for Free

Updated on: July 28, 2026

If you want to listen to Tidal music for free, you can sign up for its free plan. Yet being a free member, you’ll be restricted to access Tidal songs online, as the offline feature is confined to Tidal HiFi & HiFi Plus users.

Is there any way to download Tidal music for free? The most popular way is to upgrade to the Tidal HiFi or HiFi Plus Plan. You’ll then be offered a 30-day free trial. In this period, you can get all the features for Tidal paid users at zero cost.

If you’ve already experienced the free trial, the only way to download music from Tidal with a free account is to turn to a third-party tool. How does it work? We are going to explain everything in detail in this article.
