- Choose a stereo song (MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC or OGG) or a video with music.

- Keep the bass setting at 120 Hz so the bass line and kick drum stay in the instrumental.
- Press "Remove vocals", listen to the result, and download the WAV.
What Vocal Remover does
Remove vocals from a song to make a karaoke instrumental, or keep only the centre, right in your browser.
Most media work stays in browser memory. Heavy converters lazy-load a local WebAssembly engine only after processing starts. For Vocal Remover, the operation is specifically to remove vocals from a song to make a karaoke instrumental, or keep only the centre, right in your browser.
Worked example
Load a stereo pop song, choose Instrumental with bass kept below 120 Hz, and press Remove vocals. The player shows the instrumental with the lead vocal much quieter, and you can download song-instrumental.wav for karaoke or practice.
When Vocal Remover is the right tool
- Making karaoke backing tracks from songs you own.
- Practising an instrument or singing along without the original vocal.
How to verify the result
Play the beginning and end of the output, confirm duration and format, and check lip-sync or audio quality where relevant. The final Vocal Remover output should visibly match this goal: Remove vocals from a song to make a karaoke instrumental, or keep only the centre, right in your browser.
Important limitations
Not AI separation: vocals panned off-centre or wide stereo reverb can remain, and centred instruments (often snare) are reduced too. Mono files cannot be processed.

Frequently asked questions
How does this vocal remover work?
In most stereo mixes the lead vocal sits exactly in the centre, equally loud in both speakers. Subtracting the right channel from the left cancels whatever is in the centre and keeps what is panned to the sides. It is the classic karaoke technique, done in your browser.
Is it AI vocal separation?
No. AI separators use large neural networks on a server. This tool uses centre cancellation, which is instant and private but cannot remove vocals that are panned to one side or smeared by wide stereo reverb.
Why do the bass and drums sound quieter?
Bass, kick and snare are often in the centre too. The bass setting adds back everything below the chosen frequency, so the low end stays; the snare and centre instruments can still drop.
Why does my file say it is mono?
A mono recording has no left-right difference, so there is nothing to cancel. Only stereo files can be processed.
Is my music uploaded?
No. The song is decoded and processed on your device, and the WAV is created in your browser.
