Get clean vocals (acapella) from any song. You get the instrumental too. Free, no sign-up.
Pick an MP3, WAV or M4A song, or an MP4 or MOV video. On a phone you can choose from your files or your videos. The vocal isolator works best on a clean original, so use the studio version if you have it.
Watch the progress while the vocals are separated from the music. Most songs take about half a minute. When it's busy, the page shows how many songs are ahead of yours.
Play the isolated vocals on the page first, then the instrumental, and compare them with the original. Download the vocals as an MP3; the instrumental is a separate download if you need it too.
The whole song, start to finish, not a short preview. Isolate vocals from up to 3 songs a day for free, with no watermark and no sign-up.
Every song gives you two tracks: the vocals and the instrumental. Keep the one you came for, or use both, for example to practise over the music and then check the original singing.
Pro and the one-time pack add lossless WAV downloads for songs up to 9 minutes. WAV keeps every detail of the isolated vocals, which matters when you edit them or mix them with other audio.
An AI vocal isolator has learned what a voice sounds like, so it can follow the singer through the whole song: soft verses, loud choruses and the breaths in between. The vocals keep their tone instead of sounding thin or filtered.
The recording still matters. The clearer the voice sits in the mix, the cleaner it comes out; a voice buried under loud guitars or heavy effects is harder to pull out on its own.
Producers start a remix from the original vocal: extract the vocals from the song, set them over a new beat and build the track around them. Because the instrumental comes back too, you can also hear exactly what was playing under the voice. A cappella intros, call-and-response hooks and ad-libs are often the parts producers reach for first.
Singers learn a part faster when they can hear it on its own. Play the vocals, sing along line by line, then switch to the instrumental and sing it yourself. Breaths, phrasing and small slides are much easier to hear without the band. Record yourself, then play your take next to the original to hear where the two differ.
Choir leaders and teachers take the voices out of a recording to make a practice track, or isolate the vocals to show the group how a line should be phrased. One upload gives you both.
An acapella is the singing from a song without the music. Official acapellas exist for only a small share of songs, so an acapella extractor rebuilds one from the finished track.
What you get here is the full lead vocal with its harmonies, for the whole length of the song, with silence where the singer rests, so the timing stays exactly as in the original. People use an acapella to remix, to make a mashup with another song, to practise harmonies, or simply to hear every word clearly.
Keep in mind that the vocal still belongs to the artist and the label. Using it to practise is one thing; releasing a remix or a mashup needs their permission.
The vocals file is exactly as long as the song and starts at the same moment, so it lines up with the original instrumental bar for bar. In a remix, set your project to the song's tempo and drop the vocal at the start; trim the quiet stretches between verses if you only need the hook.
If the vocal has to sit on a different beat, cut it into phrases and place each one where it fits. Working from the WAV download keeps the edits clean. Fade the start and end of each cut by a few milliseconds so the edits don't click.
Songs with a simple arrangement give the vocal isolator the easiest job. A voice over a piano or a guitar comes out cleaner than a voice over a full band with loud cymbals.
Echo travels with the voice. The reverb on a vocal is part of the vocal, so its tail stays in the vocals track. A drier mix gives a drier acapella.
Lead and backing vocals stay together. If the song has harmonies, they are in the vocals track with the lead; the vocal isolator can't split one singer from another.
On busy songs you may hear a little of the instruments in the vocals, mostly in loud passages. For practice that rarely matters; for a remix, listen through before you build on it.
Remove the vocals from a song and keep the instrumental for karaoke, singing practice, a school show or a cover.
Remove the music from a video or a recording and keep the voices, for vlogs, podcasts and interviews.
