Use AI Acapella Extractor for remix vocals
An AI acapella extractor uses AI music remover technology to isolate vocals from a finished song. Start when a remix idea needs an isolated vocal but no official acapella exists. This page is for producers and DJs who want a fast vocal stem to test in a DAW, set, or mashup workflow. Karaoke and one-off free-tool users still fit, but the workflow is tuned to remix-ready acapellas first.
DJ acapella for a set
Test a vocal-only file over an instrumental loop before committing it to a DJ edit.
Cover or practice
Hear the lead vocal in isolation when you are studying phrasing, melody, or harmonies.
Sources
Start from a file or supported link
Upload MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A audio, or use a supported YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or direct-audio URL when the link route is enabled. That keeps the acapella extractor close to the source you already have.

Quality preview
Preview the acapella before you trust it
Vocal isolation quality depends on the mix, source bitrate, reverb, and backing instruments. Preview helps you hear bleed or artifacts before download, so a weak source does not quietly become a bad remix decision in your session.
high quality
Clean WAV / FLAC studio
Studio masters typically separate cleanly with low residue and a usable acapella stem.
good quality
Strong 256k+ MP3
High-bitrate MP3 from a clean source usually delivers a clean acapella for remix work.
mixed quality
Re-upload / live / heavy reverb
Compressed re-uploads, reverb-heavy live recordings, or low-bitrate sources may keep vocal residue. Preview before you commit credits.
Beyond vocals
Keep stems beyond the vocal
When a vocal-only file is not enough, the same htdemucs split returns drums, bass, and a combined instrumental stem alongside the acapella. htdemucs is Meta AI's hybrid-transformer separation model and a Sony Music Demixing Challenge winner, which is why the same flow can power both quick acapellas and richer multi-stem remix work without opening a local model chain first.
Vocals
Acapella ready to drop into a DAW, mashup, or DJ edit.
Drums
Sample drum hits or rebuild a fresh groove around the original tempo.
Bass
Sub-only mix or replace bassline while keeping vocal tuning.
Other instruments
Synths, guitar, piano, pads, and FX combined - useful for instrumental beds.

Online vs local
When a browser tool is enough
Use the browser workflow when speed, preview, and simple pricing matter more than model tuning. Choose UVR or MVSEP only when one difficult song needs deeper separation experiments and you can spend time comparing outputs.

Rights and privacy
Rights and privacy stay visible
Uploads are encrypted in transit, stored temporarily, and automatically deleted after 7 days. That said, extracting an acapella does not grant publishing rights for someone else's recording, so use sources you have permission to process when the result will leave your draft session.
Encrypted in transit
Your upload moves over HTTPS and is processed temporarily.
Auto-deleted after 7 days
Processed files are temporary, not a long-term library.
No copyright clearance granted
Acapella extraction does not create rights to publish or monetize the original recording.
Common questions
Is AI Acapella Extractor free to use?
You can start with 10 free minutes on an eligible account. After that, processing uses duration-based credits, with pay-as-you-go packs for 50, 150, or 500 minutes instead of a required subscription.
Which acapella extractor is best for remixing?
The best choice depends on your source and patience. Use this browser workflow for a quick preview and download; use UVR or MVSEP when a difficult track needs manual model comparisons.
Can I extract vocals from a YouTube link?
Yes, when supported. Public YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and direct-audio links can enter the URL workflow when it is enabled. Private, age-restricted, region-locked, unavailable, or playlist-only URLs should not be assumed to work.
Will the acapella be completely clean?
No AI extractor can guarantee perfect isolation on every song. Dense mixes, reverb-heavy vocals, live recordings, and compressed sources can leave bleed or artifacts, which is why previewing the result matters.
What files can I upload for acapella extraction?
The upload flow supports common audio files such as MP3, WAV, FLAC, and M4A. For cleaner isolated vocals, start with the highest-quality source you can legally access.
Can I use extracted acapellas commercially?
Only if you already have the rights to the original recording and composition. The tool separates audio, but it does not create copyright clearance, sync rights, or permission to publish third-party vocals.
Do I only get vocals and instrumental?
No. The split workflow returns vocals, drums, bass, and a combined instrumental stem, giving producers more options when an acapella alone is not enough for the idea.
How do I extract an acapella from a song?
Three steps. 1) Upload an MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A file, or paste a supported YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or direct-audio link. 2) Wait for the split to finish; the browser preview lets you hear the isolated vocal before download. 3) Download the vocals stem alone for an acapella, or grab drums, bass, and instrumental stems together when the remix idea needs more.
