Tips for cleaner stems

Start from the best file

A WAV, FLAC or high-bitrate MP3 separates more cleanly than a low-quality copy: compression artefacts end up in every stem.

Best quality for releases

Fast mode is quick for practice and previews. For a karaoke track or a cappella you want to share, use best quality: less of the voice is left in the instrumental.

Expect a little bleed

AI separation is very good but not perfect: reverb, backing vocals and instruments that sound like a voice can leak between stems. Turn a stem down rather than off if the gap is noticeable.

Vocal Remover FAQ

Is the vocal remover free?

Yes. Separate as many songs as you like with no account, no watermark and no daily limit. Each song can be up to 15 minutes long.

Are my songs uploaded?

No. The AI runs in your browser and your files never leave your device. The first time, your browser downloads the AI model once (about 40 MB for fast mode, about 87 MB for best quality) and keeps it for next time.

What is the difference between 2 and 4 stems?

2 stems gives you the vocals and everything else (the instrumental). 4 stems splits the music further into drums, bass and other instruments, so you can, for example, practise along without the drums or the bass.

Best quality or fast?

Best quality leaves noticeably less of the voice in the instrumental and is the only mode with 4 stems. Fast mode is about ten times quicker on a computer without graphics acceleration and gives 2 stems.

How long does it take?

With graphics acceleration (WebGPU) it is usually much quicker than the song itself. Without it the AI runs on the processor: best quality takes roughly half a minute to a few minutes per minute of music, depending on your computer, and fast mode a few seconds. The progress bar shows the time left.

Can I make a karaoke track?

Yes. After separating, choose the Karaoke preset to mute the vocals, check it with the player, and download the mix as WAV or MP3.

Can I remove the music from a video?

You can add a video and get its sound separated into stems, for example the voice without the background music. The tool downloads audio files; it does not change the video itself.

Which formats can I use?

MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus and AIFF audio, and the sound of MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM videos. Stems download as WAV (lossless, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz) or MP3 (256 kbps).

Can I use the stems for anything?

The tool does not add any watermark or restriction, but the song itself is still covered by its copyright. Use stems of other people's music only where you are allowed to, for example for personal practice.
