How to remove vocals from a YouTube video — 4 steps
- Copy the YouTube URL. Open the video in your browser or the YouTube app and copy the link.
- Open AIVoiceSeparator and switch to the Paste YouTube / SoundCloud / TikTok link tab.
- Paste and click "Separate audio". Our server downloads the audio with yt-dlp and queues it for the AI ensemble.
- Wait ~6 minutes, then download the isolated
vocals.wavandinstrumental.wav. You can also pick MP3 320 kbps or FLAC.
The whole flow runs on a private GPU in Thailand — your audio is never sent to a third-party cloud, and every job is deleted automatically after 24 hours.
Why use AIVoiceSeparator for YouTube videos

Three-model ensemble — BS-Roformer + Mel-Roformer + MDX23C — measured at SDR 12.97 dB, about 3 dB better than the open-source Demucs baseline.
🔗 Direct YouTube link support
No need to download MP3s with sketchy third-party converters first. Just paste the URL — we handle yt-dlp on the server.
🎤 Lyrics transcription

🔒 Privacy first
Inputs and outputs are auto-deleted after 24 h. We never train models on your audio, and there is no upload-to-share feature.

Common uses for a YouTube vocal remover
- Karaoke practice. Strip the vocal track from your favorite song and sing along to the instrumental.
- Cover versions. Use the instrumental as a backing track for your own vocal recording or AI voice cover.
- Remixing and sampling. Extract clean acapellas to build a remix, mashup, or beat from existing material you own the rights to.
- Music transcription. Isolating the vocals makes it much easier to transcribe lyrics, harmonies, and melody lines.
- DJ stem-mixing. Use vocals.wav and instrumental.wav as live-mixable stems in Serato, Rekordbox, or VirtualDJ.
- Language learning. Listen to the vocal track in isolation to catch every word, then cross-check against the auto-generated lyrics.
Frequently asked questions
Is this YouTube vocal remover really free?
Yes. Anonymous users get 1 song per day at full Studio quality. Patreon Pro raises it to 20 songs per day and adds priority queueing.
How long does it take to process a 5-minute YouTube video?
About 5–6 minutes end-to-end — that includes downloading the audio via yt-dlp and running the three-model AI ensemble.
What YouTube URL formats do you accept?
Standard youtube.com/watch?v=…, short youtu.be/… links, YouTube Music URLs, and Shorts. Also SoundCloud, TikTok, Bandcamp, and Vimeo.
Are there length limits?
15 minutes maximum per source, 100 MB maximum file size after the audio is downloaded. Most full songs are well under both limits.
Can I get the lyrics as a subtitle file?
Yes — toggle "Generate lyrics" before processing and we'll run Whisper on the isolated vocal stem. You get SRT (video subtitle), LRC (karaoke), and TXT (plain) files.
Do you store my YouTube downloads?
No. Every job (input audio + the separated stems) is deleted automatically after 24 hours. We never use your audio for AI training and never share outputs between users.
Is it legal to remove vocals from a YouTube video?
You are responsible for having the rights. Personal use such as karaoke practice or transcription is generally considered fair; redistribution or commercial use of someone else's track is not. See our terms of use.
Which AI models do you use?
A weighted ensemble of three state-of-the-art models: BS-Roformer (40%), Mel-Band Roformer (35%), and MDX23C InstVoc (25%). Outputs are EBU-R128 loudness-normalized so the stems sit naturally in any mix.
