Pull the instrumental from any song.
Right in your browser.

Making an instrumental means dropping the vocal and keeping the performance. The goal overlaps with a karaoke track, but the use is usually different: background music, a bed under video, or playback somewhere a lead vocal would be in the way.

Anything playing for a long stretch has to survive repeated listening, and EQ-based removal tends to leave the music sounding hollowed out. Separating by source keeps the instruments themselves intact, so the result holds up as background music.

Over a whole track, consistency matters more than peak accuracy. When the voice vanishes completely in one section and lingers in the next, the listener keeps noticing that something is off. That is why this page opens on High Quality: it takes longer, but it varies less across the length of a song.

For sampling or beatmaking, pulling one lumped instrumental is usually the wrong move. Run 6stem instead, split out drums, bass, guitar and piano, and take what you need. A combined instrumental cannot be un-combined later. If the output is material rather than a finished bed, separating further up front costs nothing and keeps every option open.

Just the backing

Take the vocal out and keep the instrumental on its own.

Keeps low-end and drums

Bass and kick keep their weight when the vocals come out, so it’s production-ready.

   Drag & drop an MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC or video, or click to select.

2. 2

   Pick a model and start

   This page opens on High Quality — an instrumental plays for a long time, so the rough edges of a split are the thing you end up hearing. Standard is enough when you are in a hurry. On a phone, Fast is the one that runs.

   Adjust and export

   Preview and adjust each part, then download what you need as WAV.

QWhat’s the difference between an instrumental and a karaoke track?

They’re the same thing — the backing with vocals removed. If your goal is singing, "Karaoke maker" is the clearer entry point; for production, sampling or BGM, this instrumental maker is.

QCan I split the instruments further?

Yes — 6stem splits the backing into drums, bass, guitar, piano and other.

QCan I use this as background music in a shop or a video?

Removing the vocal does not touch the copyright in the song. Public playback and use in video are matters between you and the rights holders or their collecting society, and processing the file has no bearing on that. If you want background music you can use without worrying, licensed or royalty-free libraries are the reliable route.

QThe exported instrumental sounds quieter than the original.

It is — the vocal was contributing to the overall level, and it is gone. You can raise the individual parts in the mixer before exporting, but if the point is to match the loudness of other tracks, run the export through the mastering tool instead. That levels to the standard streaming services normalise to.

QBreaths and vocal consonants are still audible.

Consonants and breath sit close to cymbals and hi-hats in character, so the model sometimes assigns them to the backing. Re-running on High Quality usually reduces it. If it survives that, the vocal on that record is mixed deeply into the arrangement.

QIs it really free? Do I need to sign up?

It’s completely free with no account needed. Just open the page and pick a file.

QIs the song I choose sent anywhere?

No. All separation happens entirely inside your browser.

QWhich file formats are supported?

MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC and OGG, plus the audio track of video files.
