A Free Instrumental Splitter for a Backing Track You Can Perform Over
Upload any song and pull out the instrumental, with vocals removed cleanly. Free, with no signup and no limit on how many songs you process.
Built for Real Backing-Track Use
Made for an Instrumental You Can Actually Perform Over
An instrumental track only helps if it's clean enough to sing or play over without the original vocal bleeding through underneath. This is built around that standard, pulling a genuinely usable backing track rather than a rough approximation.

How It Works
How to Get a Vocal-Free Instrumental
01
Upload the song
Bring in the full track. There's no length restriction, so a complete song processes the same way a short one would.
02
Select the instrumental stem
Choose instrumental specifically from the available stem options to get the full backing track with vocals removed.
03
Let the separation run
The engine removes the vocal from the mix automatically, leaving the rest of the instrumentation intact without requiring manual editing.
04
Download the instrumental
Export the finished backing track free, with no watermark and no restriction on how many songs you process this way.
Capabilities
Built for a Backing Track You Can Actually Use
Made for real performance and stream use, not a rough sketch.
Vocal Fully Removed, Not Just Lowered
The original vocal comes out fully removed rather than just quieted in the mix, which matters if a leftover trace would be distracting when performing or streaming over the instrumental. A partial removal defeats the purpose of a real backing track.
- Full vocal removal, not just reduced
- Clean enough to perform over
- Not a rough approximation
No Signup to Get Started
There's no account creation step between choosing a song and getting the instrumental back. Upload and go, which matters when you're prepping for a stream or a set and don't want an extra step in the way.
- No account needed
- No confirmation wait
- Start immediately
Full Songs, Not Short Clips
The entire track processes at once, not a trimmed preview. An instrumental that cuts off partway through a song isn't useful for a full performance or a complete stream segment built around the whole piece.
- Complete song every time
- No mid-song cutoffs
- Works on any song length
No Cap on Repeated Use
There's no limit on how many songs you can process, and no credit balance ticking down as you build out a setlist or a library of backing tracks for repeated use.
- No monthly limit
- No credit system
- Scales with a full setlist
This Site Also Makes Karaoke Videos and Singing Photos
Beyond removing vocals, this site includes a karaoke and lyrics video maker for songs that need synced on-screen text, and an AI tool that turns a photo into a singing or talking video. Both are separate free tools if a project ever calls for either.
- Lyrics video maker included
- Photo-to-singing-video tool included
- Both free, same site
Free Export, No Watermark
Every instrumental downloads clean, with no watermark and no paid tier gating a better version of the same result. That stays true whether it's the first file you've ever processed here or the fiftieth one this month.
- No watermark, ever
- Full-quality export
- No paid tier needed

Why Creators Choose karaokevideo.ai
Built for Real Performance and Stream Use
Made to actually hold up when performed or played over live.
Clean Enough to Perform Over
An instrumental with leftover vocal traces sounds distracting during a real performance or stream. This is built to hold up in that exact situation.
No Setup Friction
Skipping an account creation step means more time on actual prep and less on registration steps before a stream or set.
Scales With a Full Setlist
Building out instrumentals for a whole setlist works the same way as doing just one song, without a cap appearing partway through.
Works on Any Genre
Pop, rock, hip-hop, and other genres all process the same way, without needing different handling per style.
No Surprise Cost Mid-Setlist
Finding out a tool wants payment partway through building a backing track library is the last thing anyone needs. There's no such wall here.
Full Output, Not a Teaser
What downloads is the complete, usable instrumental every time, not a limited preview of a better paid version.

FAQ
Common Questions
What people ask before their first instrumental extraction.
Is the vocal completely removed, or just quieter?
The vocal is removed rather than simply reduced in volume, which matters if you're planning to perform or stream over the instrumental, since a lowered but still-present vocal would be distracting in that context.
Is there a limit on how many songs I can process?
No, there's no monthly cap or signup-credit system limiting repeated use, so building out a full setlist or backing-track library doesn't run into a wall partway through.
Do I need to sign up for an account?
No, there's no sign-up step required before you can start. Upload a song and get the instrumental back directly. That matters most when you're in the middle of a real project and don't want an extra registration step slowing down the work.
Can I get other stems from the same song too?
Yes, this site's stem splitter supports other instrument types as well, so pulling the instrumental and an individual stem like drums from the same upload is not a problem.
Does it work on live recordings, not just studio tracks?
Yes, though expect a somewhat rougher result than a studio recording. Crowd noise and room sound both make removal slightly less clean on a live source compared to a controlled studio environment.
What file formats does it accept?
Common formats like MP3 and WAV both work without needing to convert first, whatever the source recording happens to be in. There's no need to convert a file into a specific format before it will work, which saves a step compared to tools that only accept one narrow file type.
Is there a watermark on the instrumental?
No, every export is clean with no watermark added, on the free tier or otherwise. That holds true across every file you process, not just the first one.
Is there a song length limit?
No, the full song processes from start to finish regardless of length, so a longer track doesn't need to be trimmed before uploading. A short clip and a full multi-minute track both process through the same pipeline without special handling.
How long does processing take?
Most songs finish in well under a minute, though longer or more complex tracks can take a bit more time to process fully. There's no artificial delay added on top of the actual separation work, so the wait is only ever as long as the processing genuinely requires.
Can I use the instrumental for a live performance or stream?
There's no restriction here on how the instrumental gets used afterward, though you should still check the rights to the original song, particularly for a public performance or a monetized stream.
