Acapella extractor: the vocals alone.

Get just the singing from a song for a remix, a mashup or to learn the words and melody. The AI separates the voice from the music in this tab, so the song is never uploaded. You get the vocals and the instrumental, as MP3 or WAV.

This runs in your browser. Your files are never uploaded.

How it works

Three steps, nothing to install.

01 / Drop

Choose a song

Any song or a music video, up to 15 minutes.

02 / Separate

Let the AI split it

The voice and the music are pulled apart, about 8 seconds at a time.

03 / Save

Download the acapella

The vocals on their own, and the instrumental too.

Questions

Good to know.

Is my song uploaded?

No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser, from Hugging Face, the open model library, and runs there, so the file never leaves your computer. No account and no limit on the number of songs.

Which AI model is it?

HTDemucs, the music separation model by Meta AI researchers, released under the MIT licence, in a browser version by the demucs-web project. It splits a song into vocals, drums, bass and the rest.

How clean is the result?

Good, but not perfect: a trace of the voice can stay in the instrumental, especially reverb and backing vocals, and bright instruments can leak into the vocals. In our test, a voice over made-up music, the separated voice was about 11 dB cleaner than in the mix. We have not measured it on real songs, so listen before you use it.

How long does it take?

It depends on your computer. With WebGPU, which uses the graphics card, our test song of 20 seconds took about 5 seconds; without it, the processor is much slower. The first time, the model downloads, 181 MB. Songs up to 15 minutes.

Can I use the result?

For practice, karaoke at home or your own songs, yes. To publish a remix or a cover of someone else's song you need the rights holder's permission.
