A vocal remover splits a finished song into two tracks: the instrumental without any singing, and the vocals on their own. Upload the song once, hear 30 seconds of both, and download either track or both as WAV files from the same run.

The vocal remover plays the same 30 seconds three ways: the song, the instrumental, and the vocals alone. Pick a chorus. If the instrumental still has punch and the vocal track has no drums in it, the full song will split the same way.
The band without the singer or the harmonies.
Every voice in the song, with the band taken out.
Bring some of the vocal back in, for a guide track you can sing over.
Most people looking for a vocal remover want one of two files. This page gives you both at once, so you do not have to guess which one you need.
Take the singer out of a song with no official instrumental, then rehearse, cover, or perform over the band.
Instrumental makerLift the vocals out of a track and put them on your own beat, or study the phrasing of a singer.
Acapella extractorPlay the instrumental under the lyrics. If you want the harmonies to stay, use the karaoke maker instead.
Karaoke makerWith the voice gone, the bass line and the chords are easier to hear and write down.
An AI vocal remover separates the voice by how it sounds. Older vocal removers cancel whatever sits in the middle of the stereo mix, and the kick and bass go with it.
After the full song is processed, download the instrumental, the vocals, or both. The minutes are charged once.
Nothing is subtracted from the center, so the kick, bass, and snare keep their weight in the instrumental.
An old single-channel recording has no sides to cancel. It still splits, and both tracks come back mono.
The free preview is 30 seconds of the file you uploaded, so a song that splits badly does not cost you anything.
A clean studio mix splits best. Preview these cases carefully before you process the whole song.
The echo of each line can remain as a faint shadow in the instrumental.
A crowd singing along, or a phone recording of a concert, leaves more of the voice behind.
A lead guitar or a saxophone playing the melody can bleed into the vocal track for a few notes.
A vlog or a podcast with music under the talking is a different job.
There are three common ways to take vocals out of a song. Only one of them also hands you the vocals.
| Compared on | Center cancelling | EQ cut | This vocal remover |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Subtracts one side from the other | Cuts the vocal frequencies | Separates the voice by how it sounds |
| Bass and drums | Thinned or gone | Mostly kept | Kept |
| Isolated vocals | Not available | Not available | A second WAV from the same run |
| Mono songs | Does nothing | Works | Works |
| Cost | Free in Audacity | Free in any EQ | Free preview and first minute, then minutes |
Any song saved as an audio file up to 2 GB. A studio master or a high-bitrate file splits more cleanly than a recompressed copy.
Both tracks download as 44.1 kHz WAV files, ready for a DAW, a karaoke app, or a video editor.
Save the soundtrack with the free extract tool first, then upload the audio here.

Play the instrumental and the vocals on 30 seconds of your song. Ask for another part if the first one has no singing.
Sign in and confirm. Your first minute is free, and the minutes are charged once for both tracks.
Save the instrumental, the vocals, or a custom mix of the two as WAV. Files are deleted 24 hours after upload.
Rehearse over the original band, then record your own take on top of the instrumental.
Pull the acapella for a remix or a mashup, and keep the instrumental for a transition.
Play the backing track in class, or mute the singer to work out a part by ear.
Use this page when you want both tracks of a song, or are not sure which one you need. The other pages each focus on one result.
| Job | Use |
|---|---|
| The instrumental and the vocals from one song | Use this vocal remover |
| Only a backing track, harmonies removed too | Instrumental maker |
| Only the vocals, for a remix | Acapella extractor |
| A sing-along track that keeps the harmonies | Karaoke maker |
| How the methods for removing vocals compare | Remove vocals from a song |

The upload and both tracks are deleted automatically 24 hours after upload. They are not used as demos or shared.
A vocal remover takes the singing out of a song and leaves the instrumental. An AI vocal remover like this one finds the voice by how it sounds, so it can also hand you the vocals as their own track, and it keeps the bass and drums that older center-cancelling tools remove.
Yes. One run gives you both. After the full song is processed, the editor offers the instrumental and the vocals as separate WAV downloads, and the minutes are charged once.
The 30-second preview of your own song is free and needs no account. Every new account also gets 1 free minute of full downloads. A whole song uses minutes from a pack or a Pro plan; a 1 Hour Pack costs $4.99, about 15 songs of 4 minutes.
No. It splits a song into two parts: the vocals and everything else. Drums, bass, guitars, and keys stay together in the instrumental. To keep the backing vocals with the band and lose only the lead, use the karaoke maker.
No. Lead and backing vocals both go to the vocal track, so the instrumental has no singing at all. To keep the harmonies under a missing lead, use the karaoke maker.
No. Upload an audio file you have the rights to. If the song is in a video file, save its soundtrack with the free extract tool, which runs in your browser, then upload that audio here.
2 GB. You can run the preview 3 times in 24 hours before you sign in, and 20 times after. Both tracks are 44.1 kHz WAV files.
Splitting a song does not change who owns it. Practice and private use are fine; publishing, streaming, or selling the instrumental or the vocals still needs permission from the rights holders.
Upload one song and hear the instrumental and the vocals side by side.
