How to Make a Karaoke Version of a Song

1

Choose the song or video

Choose a song from your phone, tablet or computer (on an iPhone or iPad, it can come straight from the Files app): an MP3, WAV or M4A file, or an MP4 or MOV video. Unlike the pitch changer, this step runs on our servers, because taking the vocals out of a song needs more computing power than a browser has.

2

Wait while the vocals come out

The vocals are taken out of the whole song, start to finish, and you can watch the progress while it works.

3

Listen, then download the karaoke track

When the karaoke maker is done, play the result to check it, then download it as an MP3. The vocals come out as a second file, in case you want to hear how the original singer phrases a line.

Hear an Example

Play the original song, then the karaoke track and the vocals the karaoke maker made from it, before you upload your own. Listen to the karaoke track for traces of the singer, and to the vocals for bits of the band, so you know what to expect from a song like yours.

What the Karaoke Maker Gives You

A karaoke track is the song with the lead singer taken out: drums, bass, guitars, keys and everything else stay where they were. This karaoke maker gives you that instrumental as an MP3, the full length of the song, with no watermark.

How clean it sounds depends on the song. Often the voice is gone completely, but you may hear faint traces of the singer or small artifacts, especially on dense mixes with layered vocals and distorted guitars, on vocals with heavy reverb or effects, and on loud, held notes. Play the result through before the party rather than finding out on the night.

Karaoke Track or Karaoke Video?

Search for a karaoke maker and you'll find two kinds of tool. About half give you what this page does: an audio track with the vocals removed. The other half make a karaoke video, with the lyrics on screen and the words lighting up in time; some of those also remove the vocals for you, usually with an account and credits.

If you just need something to sing over, at home, at a party or on stage, the audio track is enough: keep the lyrics open on a phone or a second screen while it plays. If you need words on the screen, make the karaoke track here, then add the lyrics in a video editor or a lyric-video tool.

Sing It in Your Key

Karaoke versions usually keep the original key, which isn't always the key you sing in. When the karaoke maker has finished, choose Change the key: it opens in the pitch changer, where you move it up or down in semitones and download the new version. That part runs in your browser and doesn't use up any of your free songs, so you can try a few keys and keep the one that fits.

If the original is too high for you, try lowering it two or three semitones first. A man singing a song by a female singer often needs four to six; a woman singing a song by a male singer often needs three to five higher.

Make a Karaoke Set for a Party

Making karaoke for a party? Start with a list of the songs people want. The free plan covers one a day, or two when you sign in; for a longer list, the one-time pack covers 15 songs in one go, and they don't expire.

Listen to each one before the night, and change the key of any song that's too high or too low for whoever is going to sing it. Then put the files in one folder or playlist on the device you'll play from, so nobody has to search for the next song while the room waits.

Who Uses the Karaoke Maker

Families and friends use the karaoke maker for parties and karaoke nights at home; each file is a regular MP3, so it plays on a laptop, a phone, a TV or a karaoke speaker. Singers practice over the karaoke version until they know a song without the original voice to lean on, and use it as the backing for a school show or a rehearsal with no band. Singers recording a cover use it as the backing for their own vocal; for mixing, the WAV download keeps the full quality, and it comes with Pro and the one-time pack.

Free Karaoke Maker: What's Included

Every day you can make one karaoke track for free without an account, or two when you sign in: full songs, MP3, no watermark and no card. The Voice Remover uses the same free songs, so a song made on either page counts once. Each file can be up to 10 minutes long and 100 MB. For more songs, longer files or WAV downloads, there's Pro and a one-time pack that doesn't expire; the pricing page lists what each one includes.

Karaoke Maker FAQ

Can I keep the backing vocals, or a little of the lead as a guide?
No. The lead vocal and the backing vocals come out together, so the karaoke version has no singing left in it at all. Keeping the backing vocals, or a little of the lead as a guide, takes a different kind of separation that this tool doesn't do. If you want a guide while you learn a song, sing along to the original first, or open both files in a recording app and turn the vocals down until they're just a hint.
Can I paste a YouTube link?
No. The karaoke maker works with files on your device. Use a song file you have the right to use.
Can I make a karaoke version from a video?
Yes. Choose an MP4 or MOV file and the karaoke maker takes the vocals out of its soundtrack. You get the karaoke version as an audio file, not a video.
Does it work on my phone or iPad?
Yes. Open the page in the browser on your phone or iPad and choose a song from your files; there's no app to install. You can listen and download on the same device.
Can I slow the song down too?
Yes. Change the key opens the pitch changer, which also has a speed control. Slow the karaoke track down to learn a fast verse, then bring it back up; the key stays where you set it.
Does it work on songs in any language?
Yes. It separates the voice by its sound, not by the words, so the language of the song doesn't matter.
Can I use it on stage or at a school show?
Yes. The karaoke track from the karaoke maker is an ordinary MP3, so you can play it from a phone or laptop through the sound system. Keep the file on the device itself rather than relying on the venue's Wi-Fi, and play it once on that system before the show.
How long does it take?
It depends on the length of the song. You can see the progress the whole time, and a song of three and a half minutes takes about 40 seconds.
What happens to my files?
The file you upload is deleted as soon as processing finishes or fails. The karaoke version and the vocals are kept for 24 hours so you can download them, then deleted. We don't listen to your files or use them to train any AI.
Can I post my karaoke cover on TikTok or YouTube?
You can use the karaoke maker on any song, but the song still belongs to whoever owns it. On YouTube, a system called Content ID compares uploads with audio that rights holders have registered, and when a video matches, the rights holder can block it, put ads on it or just track its views. A cover sung over the original recording can match that recording, so check what the platform and the rights holders allow before you post.
