From YouTube to karaoke

YouTube Vocal Remover — turn a YouTube song into karaoke

Found the perfect song on YouTube and want a karaoke version or an acapella? You can remove the vocals in two quick steps: save the audio from the video, then run it through our AI vocal remover to split the voice from the music.

The result is a clean instrumental to sing over and the isolated vocal for remixes — from any YouTube song, free, in your browser.

How to remove vocals from a YouTube song

First, get the audio out of the video. Use a tool like our sister site AudioDownloaderMate to save the song as an MP3. Then upload that MP3 here — the AI separates the vocal from the instrumental and gives you both tracks to download.

Only remove vocals from content you have the rights to use. Downloading or reusing copyrighted music may be restricted by YouTube's terms and local law.

Why people do this

Karaoke singers want backing tracks for songs that aren't in any karaoke app. Creators pull acapellas for edits and mashups. Musicians learn a part by isolating it. A YouTube vocal remover turns the world's biggest music library into source material you can actually work with.
