Remove the vocals.
Or split the song into stems.

Full-quality stems. No account, no per-track fee.Same model and same 192 kbps (or lossless WAV) as the paid tier — tracks up to 15 minutes.

Free, no sign-up, no watermark. Drop a song, get the tracks back in about six seconds.

Drop a song — then pick what you want: all 7 tracks, vocals + instrumental, the key & BPM, or a pitch change.

Works on audio and video. Listen with solo/mute per track before you download; files are deleted right after processing.

How a song comes apart

1. Drop a song

Any common audio format. Separation starts immediately: no account, no e-mail, no trial.

2. The tool splits the mix

A music source-separation model pulls the mix apart on our GPU: vocals, drums, bass and everything else, usually in under a minute.

3. Take your stems

Preview every stem in the browser, download the ones you need as MP3, or grab the whole set as a zip. Your upload is wiped automatically.

35 seconds, nothing cut: a song goes in and comes back out as separate tracks. Click it for the narrated version, where you can hear the vocals disappear when the instrumental is soloed.

One upload, seven stems — the tool pulls a single mix apart into isolated tracks (vocals, drums, bass and a clean instrumental shown here), each downloadable on its own.

Stems in practice

Karaoke

Instrumentals & acapellas

A clean instrumental for karaoke or covers, or the isolated vocal for a remix; both come out of every split.

Practice

Learn your part

Mute the guitar, solo the bass, loop the drums, and practise along with the real track, one instrument at a time.

Produce

Sample & remix

DJs and producers: grab clean source material for edits, mashups and transitions instead of EQ-hacking the full mix.

What actually happens on this page

Over the 40 days from 13 July to 21 August, StemGrab logged 26,930 page views from 25,611 real visitors — bots filtered out — arriving from 155 countries, most from the US, India and Germany. Of everything on offer, the plain vocal remover is what people actually reach for: 1,776 uploads went through it, more than six times the next most-used option (the version that keeps the lyrics on screen, 273 uploads), with the full seven-stem splitter behind that at 112. Not every upload became a track: 1,336 were declined before a file ever got processed. The usual reasons are duller than a broken tool — the wrong file type, no extension on the upload, or a track that ran past the 15-minute limit. Even the optional €5 pass has its own friction: the single most common error logged anywhere on the site in 40 days was a checkout that didn't accept the e-mail address typed in, 82 times. None of this is marketing copy — it's what our own logs show once the bots are filtered out, not a guess at what a "typical" visitor does.

Questions about stems

Is it really free?

Yes: no account, no watermark, no daily cap tricks, and the free tool is not a trial — it doesn't expire and it uses the same model as everything else here. Ads keep the GPU running. There is one optional extra: a €5 month pass with practice tools, play-along mixes and higher limits. It buys you more to do with your stems, not better stems.

How long does the €5 month pass last?

It runs for 30 days from your first track, not from the moment you pay, so buying one at night and starting the next morning costs you nothing. It is a one-off €5 payment, not a subscription. The pass lives in the browser you bought it in — there are no accounts — so it won't follow you to another device.

What happens to my file?

Your upload is deleted the moment it has been processed, and the stems are wiped from the server within 45 minutes — 24 hours if you have a month pass. Nothing is stored, shared or used to train anything — see the Privacy Policy.

How good is the separation?

We use one of the best separation models available. Vocals, drums and bass come out remarkably clean on most modern mixes. Guitar and piano are newer, experimental stems; expect them to be rougher, especially in dense mixes. Lo-fi recordings are harder for any tool.

Which stems do I get?

Seven files per track: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, other and a mixed instrumental (everything except vocals), plus a zip with the lot, as 192 kbps MP3 — or uncompressed WAV with a month pass. Want the notes instead of the audio? Get MIDI turns vocals, bass, guitar, piano and other into their own MIDI track each — drums excluded, since they have no pitch to convert.

Does it tell me the key and BPM?

Yes, on every upload: above your stems you get the key with its scale, the Camelot code for mixing in key, and the BPM. It is an estimate read from the audio — steady-tempo studio tracks are reliable, a half-time feel can read as half or double the tempo, and when there is too little to go on the badge is left off instead of guessing. More: song key & BPM finder.

Does it work on podcasts or instrumental tracks?

It's built for music. A podcast or voice memo has no instruments to separate (you'll get a near-silent instrumental), and an instrumental track has no vocals to isolate; the site will tell you when that happens instead of leaving you guessing.

Can I use the stems in my own music?

The tool is yours to use; the rights to the music are not ours to give. For covers, remixes or anything you publish, make sure you have permission from whoever owns the recording.

Got old photos too?

Same house, different tool: PicReviver restores old photos and BGNinja removes photo backgrounds — both free. The whole family lives at ShinobiTools.

How does separating a song actually work?

A finished record is one flat file: the voice, the drums and the bass were mixed into a single waveform years ago and there is no hidden track underneath waiting to be switched off — that information is genuinely gone. A separation model reconstructs it. Trained on thousands of songs where it saw both the mix and the original parts, it has learned what a human voice looks like in a spectrogram and what a snare does, and it rebuilds each part on top of what it recognises. That is why the result is very good but never perfect, and why some stems are cleaner than others: vocals, drums and bass have distinct fingerprints, while guitar and piano overlap with everything around them. A quiet cymbal buried under a guitar in the original sounds thin when you pull it out, because the model has to guess at what it could not hear.

Why is there no daily limit when other free splitters cap you?

Separating a three-minute song takes a GPU about six seconds. Most free stem splitters rent that GPU time from a cloud provider by the second, which is why they cap you at ten minutes of audio and then ask for a card — the meter runs on every upload. We own the hardware: the same graphics cards run our other tools in the Netherlands, so an extra song costs electricity rather than an invoice, and the ads around the page cover the rest. That is the whole reason there is no account, no e-mail, no watermark and no counter that runs out.
