Remove background music from video keep your voice

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.

Music mixed into your narration is a copyright problem waiting to happen, and muting it in your editor mutes your voice too.

Drop the video in below: the same AI that pulls a clean acapella out of a song lifts your narration out of the music behind it, and hands you the two apart. It's the step you need to get rid of background music in a video without muting the voice on top of it, and it works the same on phone recordings and professional exports. As an AI background music remover it is free, with no account.

If a platform's copyright check flagged the music in your own video, this is the clean fix: strip that track out, keep your narration, and add music you have the rights to.

The free tier runs the identical model as the paid one, so the voice you get back is the same quality either way. There's no separate video AI involved: used as a music remover from video narration, it is the same separation that isolates vocals from songs, pointed at your narration instead.

What comes back

One upload, two tracks:

Drop the voice track into your video editor in place of the original audio and the background music is gone, without re-recording a thing. The tool doesn't return a video: your video file, the video picture and the video quality stay exactly as they were.

How to remove background music from video online free, step by step

  1. Drop the video into the box above. MP4, MOV, MKV and WEBM go in directly, up to 2 GB and 15 minutes.
  2. Wait a few seconds while the model splits the voice from the music.
  3. Download the voice track as an MP3 and put it back under your picture in the editor.

That's all it takes to remove music from video online, with nothing to install. Want to remove background music from a video you only have as a finished export? Same steps: no original project or separate tracks needed.

Do I extract the audio first, or drop the video in directly?

Either works. This tool takes video files (MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM) directly, so for most people the fastest path is dragging the video straight in above. If you'd rather work from an audio file — say you already pulled the sound out for something else — use extract audio from video first to get an MP3, then run that MP3 through this same tool.

Why this happens: music baked into one audio track

Most video edits — a vlog with a background track under it, a tutorial with intro music, a voiceover laid over stock footage — end up flattened to a single stereo audio track when the project is exported. If you still have the original project file with the narration and music on separate layers, muting the music layer is trivial. If you only have the finished video, or you're re-using a clip someone sent you, the two are stuck together and this is the tool that pulls them back apart.

Where it struggles

The model separates music from voice, the same as it does on a song. It doesn't remove non-music background noise like wind, room hum or a fan — for that, run the voice track it gives you through a noise reducer like CleanGrab afterwards. Dense, loud music under a quiet voice is harder than a clear voiceover over a subtle bed track, and heavy reverb on the voice can leave a faint trace behind, same as when separating vocals on a song.

Common questions

Is it really free, and how much do I get?

Yes. You can remove background music from video but keep voice online free of charge: no account, no e-mail, no card, and every clip comes back without watermark. The limit is 10 files a day, each up to 2 GB and 15 minutes long.

Does it change the video picture?

No, because it doesn't return a video: you get the voice and the music as separate audio files. Your original file is untouched; you put the voice track back in your editor in place of the original audio.

Why remove the music instead of just muting it in my editor?

Because in most videos the music is mixed into the same track as your voice, not on a separate layer — muting it mutes you too. This lifts the two apart after the fact, which is exactly what you need when the original project file with separate tracks is gone.

Will it also remove other background noise, like wind or a fan?

No, this separates music from voice, not noise from voice. For hum, wind, hiss or room echo, use a noise reducer like CleanGrab instead — you can run that afterwards on the voice track this tool gives you.

Does my voice come out sounding processed?

It's run through the same model that isolates vocals from songs, so it stays close to your original recording. Dense background music, heavy reverb or a lot of overlapping talking in the clip make it harder for the model, same as with a song.

Does it matter what kind of music is playing?

Not much. Let the AI remove background music of any genre the same way; what matters more is how loud and dense the music is compared to the voice.

Can I use it on a plain audio file, like an MP3?

Yes. To remove music from audio without a video attached, drop in the MP3 or WAV directly; MP3 files with no picture split exactly the same way. If you only have the video but want an audio file to keep, extract audio from video makes one. You get the isolated voice back in seconds either way.

Can I pull out just the background music instead of removing it?

Yes, that's the other file in the download. If you want the music on its own for a song rather than a video, the vocal remover is built for that and keeps the instrumental.

Can I do this on my phone?

Yes. The tool works in any mobile browser with no app to install, so you can remove background music from video free online straight from your phone and download the voice track there.

Does it work on a short clip, like a TikTok or Reel?

Yes. There is no minimum length; a thirty-second clip works exactly the same way as a longer video. As a bg music remover for vlogs and shorts it needs nothing but the exported file, so you can remove bg music from video exports straight from your phone's gallery.

How long does it take?

A few seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the length of the clip. Then the voice track downloads as an MP3.

How is this different from doing it in CapCut or DaVinci Resolve?

Not faster, just different. CapCut needs the app installed and a project opened, and DaVinci Resolve needs a timeline and track routing. This page only needs the video file and gives back the voice track as MP3, which you then drop into whichever editor you use.

Is my upload stored?

No. Your upload is deleted the moment it's processed and the stems are wiped from the server within 45 minutes (24 hours with any pass, paid or free — that longer window is part of what the pass is for). Nothing is shared or used to train anything — see privacy.
