How to Remove Music from Video & Audio in 3 Steps
Separate foreground Vocal, Background Music, and Other sounds in three steps, whether the original music is instrumental or includes sung vocals.
1
Upload, Record, or Import Your File
Upload an audio or video file, record audio or your screen online, or paste a direct media URL such as an MP3 file link. Music Remover supports each of these input methods.
2
Separate Music With or Without Vocals

3
Preview, Adjust, and Download
Compare Original, Vocal, Background Music, Other, and Custom Mix, then download the individual result or all stems you need for the next edit.
Remove Music Before Your Next Edit or Video Clip
Remove instrumental music or songs with vocals, keep the foreground dialogue, and prepare audio or video for clips, captions, new soundtracks, and licensed publishing workflows.
Prepare Video Clips Without the Original Music
Remove music from interviews, livestreams, webinars, podcasts, or long videos before cutting highlights. Keeping the original soundtrack out of each clip can reduce the risk of unintentionally reusing copyrighted music, but it does not determine whether a clip is copyright-safe.
Remove Background Music from Audio for Transcription
Remove background music from audio recordings such as podcasts, interviews, and voice notes, then use the Voice stem for transcripts, subtitles, translation, dubbing, or republishing.
Replace a Soundtrack Without Rebuilding the Video
For video inputs, download a Voice Only version while keeping the original picture, then add a new soundtrack, voiceover, or localized audio in your next edit.
Reuse Separated Tracks in New Projects
Keep Voice and Music & Background as separate assets for content repurposing, remix preparation, practice, social cutdowns, or future production work.
