Saved to your workspace history.
The RegiAI AI vocal remover separates the singing from the music in any song. Upload a track, choose whether to keep the instrumental (for karaoke and covers) or the vocals only (an acapella for remixes), and download the result as an MP3, usually in under a minute. It uses an AI stem-separation model rather than the old phase-cancelling trick, so it works on most modern mixes.
Each song costs $0.10 and qualifies for the daily free generation. Need a song to start with? Create one with the AI Music Generator. Want the isolated voice to sound like someone else? Pass it to the AI Voice Changer.

Music lessons
Give students a backing track to sing or play along with.
Sampling and production
Pull a clean vocal phrase or instrumental loop for your own production, where you have the rights.
Getting both the instrumental and the acapella
Each run gives you one stem: either the instrumental (everything except the vocals) or the vocals on their own. If you need both, run the same song twice, once with each option. Each run costs $0.10, and the first one of the day can be free.
The instrumental keeps drums, bass, guitars, keys and other instruments together in one track. Backing vocals and harmonies are usually treated as vocals, so they are removed along with the lead. The acapella contains all the singing in the song, lead and backing.
Output is an MP3, which works for karaoke apps, video editors and DJ software. For the cleanest separation, start from the highest-quality file you have, such as a WAV or a 320 kbps MP3, rather than a low-bitrate download.
Tip: if you plan to make karaoke videos, keep the original song open next to the instrumental in your editor. You can use the original to line up the lyrics and then mute it before exporting.
What to expect from AI vocal removal
- Studio pop, rock and hip hop separate very cleanly because vocals sit clearly in the mix.
- Live recordings have crowd noise and room reverb that can bleed into both stems.
- Heavy vocal effects such as long reverb or distortion may leave faint traces in the instrumental.
- Instruments that sound like voices, such as a lead synth or saxophone, can be partly treated as vocals.
Small artifacts are normal with any vocal remover. For karaoke they are rarely noticeable once you sing over the track. For a professional release, listen through the whole stem before you publish.
If you hear faint vocals left in the instrumental, try the original file in higher quality, or run the vocals-only option and check whether the leftover sound is actually an instrument. For speech recordings with background music, choose Vocals only to keep the voice and drop the music.
Karaoke singers usually care most about a clean instrumental; remix producers care most about a clean acapella. If you only need one, choose it directly rather than running both.
Rights, price and related tools
Removing vocals does not change who owns the song. You can use results under our Terms of Service and the model provider's license, but you still need the rights to the original recording to publish a karaoke version, remix or cover. For personal practice this is rarely a concern; for YouTube uploads and releases, check the song's license.
The price is $0.10 per song, pay per use with no subscription, and a failed separation is refunded automatically. Results are saved in My creations for 30 days.
Related tools: transcribe the isolated vocals with AI Speech to Text, use a clean vocal as a sample for the AI Voice Cloner (with the singer's permission), or add effects with the Sound Effect Generator.
If you want a song made for your own project instead, create one with the AI Music Generator and then separate it here.
For practice at home, a karaoke night or a school performance, a separated instrumental is often all you need.
AI Vocal Remover FAQ
Still stuck? Contact us.
Is the AI vocal remover free?
Signed-in users get one free generation a day on tools priced $0.10 or less. Vocal removal costs $0.10 per song, so your first song each day is free. The free generation does not stack or roll over.
How much does it cost to remove vocals from a song?
$0.10 per song for either the instrumental or the vocals. See pricing for credit packs.
Can I get both the instrumental and the vocals?
Yes. Run the song once with Instrumental and once with Vocals only. Each run is $0.10, and the first run of the day can use your free generation.
Which file formats can I upload?
MP3, WAV, M4A and OGG (and WebM audio), up to 20 MB. A typical four-minute MP3 is well under that limit; long WAV files may need to be converted to MP3 first.
What format is the result?
An MP3 file, which plays in karaoke apps, video editors and DJ software. Results are also saved in My creations for 30 days, so you can download them again.
Does it remove backing vocals too?
Usually yes. Backing vocals and harmonies count as vocals, so they are removed from the instrumental and kept in the acapella. This makes the instrumental ideal for karaoke, where you sing the lead yourself.
How long does it take?
Usually under a minute for a normal-length song. The first run after a quiet period can take a few minutes longer while the model starts up.
Can I use it to make karaoke tracks?
Yes. Choose Instrumental, download the MP3, and play it in any karaoke or music app. To show lyrics on screen, add them as captions over the track in a video editor.
Can I upload a YouTube link?
No. Upload an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG) that you have the right to use. Downloading music from YouTube can break its terms and the song's copyright.
Is the result watermarked?
No. RegiAI does not add a watermark or audio tag to the separated track.
Can I release a remix made with the acapella?
Only if you have the rights to the original song. Separation does not grant a license to the music.
Can I remove background music from a speech recording?
Yes. Choose Vocals only and the tool keeps the voice and removes the music. This is useful before transcription or voice cloning.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Sign in with Google to separate songs. Your first song each day is free, and after that you pay per use.
Does it work on any genre?
It works on most genres, including pop, rock, hip hop, R&B, electronic, country and classical crossover. Dense mixes and live recordings separate less cleanly than studio tracks.
Is there an API?
Yes. The vocal remover is available through the RegiAI API at the same $0.10 per song.
