Vocal Remover (Make an Instrumental)
Vocal Remover — Instrumental & Acapella
Studio-grade vocal separation in your browser: drop a song, get BOTH the instrumental and the acapella. Nothing is uploaded — the engine runs on your machine.
Remove vocals — and get the acapella too
Drop a song and this free vocal remover hands you both files in one pass: the instrumental (karaoke version) and the acapella (isolated vocal). It runs a studio-grade deep separation engine — HTDemucs, the #1 ranked open-source separator, originally developed at Meta — entirely inside your browser. Your song is never uploaded anywhere.
How to use it
- Drop a song (MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG or FLAC), up to 6 minutes.
- Hit Separate vocals & instrumental. The first run downloads the 316 MB engine once — your browser keeps it, so next time it starts instantly.
- Wait while it processes locally — roughly the length of the song, faster when your browser supports graphics acceleration (used automatically).
- Preview and download both WAVs.
Why this one is different
Most free vocal removers either upload your file to a server or use simple center-channel tricks that leave half the mix in your acapella. This tool runs the real thing — a deep separation engine that scores 9.19 dB SDR on vocals on the standard MUSDB18-HQ benchmark, the best open-source result — and it does it on your machine, privately. It handles doubled vocals, wide stereo mixes and even mono files.
Because separation is heavy math, give it a moment: expect roughly 1–2× the song length on a typical laptop, and keep the tab open while it works. Recording your own vocals instead? Start with the Voice Recorder, then build your mix with the Vocal Chain Generator.
FAQ
Is this vocal remover really free?
Yes. Free forever, no sign-up, no watermarks, no limits on how many songs you process - it all runs on your own computer.
Why does it download 316 MB the first time?
That is the separation engine itself coming to your browser. It downloads once and is cached, so later runs start immediately. Your song is never uploaded anywhere - the engine travels to you, not the other way around.
How good is the separation?
State of the art for open tools: the engine (HTDemucs, MIT-licensed, originally developed at Meta) scores 9.19 dB SDR on vocals on the MUSDB18-HQ benchmark - the best open-source result. Doubled vocals, wide mixes and mono files all work.
How long does it take?
Roughly the length of the song on a typical laptop - faster with graphics acceleration, which is used automatically when your browser supports it. The progress line shows chunks and an estimate. Keep the tab open.
Does my song get uploaded to a server?
No. Decoding, separation and export all happen locally in your browser. It even keeps working offline once the engine is cached.
What files does it accept?
Anything your browser can decode: WAV, MP3, AAC/M4A, OGG and usually FLAC, up to 6 minutes. Output is two 16-bit WAV files at 44.1 kHz.
