Built for Recordings Worth Saving
Made for Audio That Deserves a Second Chance
An old recording, a family tape, a worn cassette, often carries something worth preserving underneath the noise. This is built around pulling that content out as cleanly as possible, rather than treating a degraded recording as a lost cause.

How It Works
How to Clean Up an Old or Noisy Recording
01
Upload the recording
Bring in the old or noisy audio file you want cleaned up. There's no length restriction, so a longer recording processes the same way a short one would.
02
Let the separation run
The engine separates the underlying content from background hiss and noise automatically, without requiring manual audio restoration skills on your end.
03
Preview the result
Listen to the cleaned-up recording before downloading, so you can confirm it actually sounds clearer than the original noisy version.
04
Download the cleaned file
Export the result free, with no watermark and no restriction on how many old recordings you process this way.
Capabilities
Built for Recordings That Deserve to Be Saved
Made for old, damaged, or noisy audio, not just clean studio files.
Handles Genuinely Old Audio
This works on recordings that weren't captured under ideal conditions, old family tapes, worn cassettes, or recordings with years of accumulated hiss. The process treats degraded audio as something worth working with, not something to reject outright.
- Works on old, worn recordings
- Handles accumulated hiss and noise
- Not limited to clean studio audio
No Signup to Get Started
There's no account creation step between uploading a recording and getting the cleaned-up result. Upload and go, which matters when you're working through a box of old tapes and don't want an extra step slowing things down.
- No account needed
- No confirmation wait
- Start immediately
Preview Before You Commit
Listen to the result before downloading, so you can actually confirm the cleanup improved the recording before spending more time on the file. That matters most on recordings where the original quality was genuinely uncertain going in.
- Listen before downloading
- Confirm real improvement
- No wasted downloads
No Cap on Repeated Use
There's no limit on how many recordings you can process, and no credit balance ticking down as you work through a whole box of old tapes or a family archive project.
- No monthly limit
- No credit system
- Scales with a whole archive
This Site Also Makes Karaoke Videos and Singing Photos
Beyond cleaning up noisy recordings, 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 cleaned-up recording 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 Preserving What's Worth Keeping
Made for old and degraded recordings, not just clean modern audio.
Gives Old Audio a Second Chance
A recording buried under decades of hiss isn't necessarily lost. This is built to pull out what's actually there rather than treat the file as unsalvageable.
No Setup Friction
Skipping an account creation step means more time working through an archive and less on registration steps.
Scales With a Real Archive Project
Cleaning up a whole box of old tapes works the same way as doing just one recording, without a cap appearing partway through.
Preview Before Committing
Checking the result before downloading matters most on recordings where you genuinely don't know how much can be recovered until you try.
No Surprise Cost Mid-Project
Finding out a tool wants payment partway through an archive project is the last thing anyone needs. There's no such wall here.
Full Output, Not a Teaser
What downloads is the complete, cleaned-up recording every time, not a limited preview of a better paid version.

Found a box of old cassette tapes from my grandparents and this pulled voices out from underneath decades of hiss well enough to actually listen to comfortably.

I had an old demo recording I thought was ruined by tape noise and this recovered enough of it that I could finally hear the actual song underneath.

FAQ
Common Questions
What people ask before their first cleanup attempt.
Can this really fix a very old, damaged recording?
It can meaningfully improve many old or noisy recordings, though the result depends heavily on how degraded the original audio actually is. A recording with moderate hiss or background noise generally improves more than one that's severely damaged.
Is there a limit on how many recordings I can process?
No, there's no monthly cap or signup-credit system limiting repeated use, so working through a whole box of old tapes or a larger archive project 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 recording and get the cleaned-up result 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 preview the result before downloading?
Yes, you can listen to the cleaned-up recording before committing to a download, which matters most on recordings where you genuinely don't know how much improvement is possible until you actually try.
What kinds of recordings work best?
Recordings with moderate background hiss, tape noise, or ambient sound tend to see the most noticeable improvement. Severely damaged or extremely degraded audio is a harder case for any restoration process, this one included.
What file formats does it accept?
Common formats like MP3 and WAV both work without needing to convert first, whatever format the old recording happens to be digitized into. 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 cleaned-up file?
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 recording length limit?
No, the full recording processes from start to finish regardless of length, so a longer old tape doesn't need to be trimmed before uploading.
How long does processing take?
Most recordings finish in well under a minute, though longer or particularly noisy files 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 this for a whole family archive project?
Yes, there's no cap tied to how many files you process over time, so it holds up for an ongoing project working through a larger collection of old recordings.
