Vocal Remover

What is Vocal Remover?

Vocal Remover lets you remove vocals from a song on any website and separate vocals from music on your computer without complicated audio software. It's built for real-world use: karaoke, remixes, practice, teaching and content creation.

You can:

• Remove vocals from a song to get a clean instrumental version.
• Isolate voice to study phrasing, harmonies and layers.
• Prepare karaoke tracks, backing tracks and teaching material.
• Clean up podcasts and videos by removing background music.

Vocal Remover comes in two versions: Vocal Remover Online (browser extension, for websites) and Vocal Remover Offline (Mac app, for files).

Frequently Asked Questions

Vocal Remover extension is slow or glitchy. What can I do?

On some Windows computers, especially laptops, Windows may choose the power-saving graphics chip for your browser instead of the fast one. Because Vocal Remover extension processes sound in real time, this can cause slowdowns, stuttering audio, or prevent it from working at all.

You can tell Windows to use your high-performance graphics chip for your browser. We have a step-by-step guide with screenshots here: Pick the high-performance graphics chip for Chrome & Edge on Windows .

If following the guide doesn't help, your computer or browser may simply be too limited for real-time processing. In that case, try using Vocal Remover on a more powerful system if you have access to one.

What's the difference between Vocal Remover Online and Vocal Remover Offline?

Vocal Remover Online is a browser extension that removes vocals directly on websites like YouTube and other audio/video platforms.

Vocal Remover Offline is a standalone Mac app that works fully offline with your own audio files and lets you batch process entire folders.

Do I need to upload audio files?

No uploads needed.

The extension processes audio right in your browser on the fly, and the Mac app works locally with files on your computer — no servers involved.

Which audio formats does Vocal Remover Offline support?

Vocal Remover for Mac works with common formats such as WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC, M4A and more, so you can split the files you already have without converting. You can also drop videos, folders or regions from your DAW, and the app will extract the sound automatically.

Will removing vocals affect audio quality?

Vocal Remover uses AI separation designed to keep instrumentals clean and musical.

Offline version offers better quality, as it sees the whole song during processing and has more resources for computations.

Very complicated or noisy mixes may still show artifacts, but typical songs separate very well.

Can I also change the key of songs?

Yes — use our Pitch Changer app to shift pitch and change key of songs online or offline. It works great alongside Vocal Remover.

Is there a free trial? How does pricing work?

Both the extension and the Mac app include a free trial period. No card required.

After the trial, Vocal Remover Online offers weekly, yearly and one-time purchase options, and Vocal Remover Offline offers weekly and yearly subscriptions, as listed above.

All payments are handled securely through Paddle (for the extension) or Apple (for the app).

How do I cancel my subscription?

Just click the “Manage Subscription” button inside the app or the extension and follow the instructions.

This process is fully automatic — no need to call or send emails.
