Remove background music from video and keep the voice
Three steps to create a voice-only MP4 from a video with background music. No software install, no plugins.
Upload your video

AI separates voice from music
The AI splits the audio into a clean voice track (kept) and a background music track (removed). About 30-60 seconds for a typical clip.
Download the finished MP4
Click 'Voice-Only Video' or 'Karaoke Video' to generate the finished MP4 — no external video editor needed. Or download the intermediate files (silent video, vocals, instrumental) if you want to mix them yourself. Uploads expire after 3 days, results after 7 days.
Frequently asked questions
Will my voice stay clear after the background music is removed?
The AI is trained to isolate the voice while suppressing background music. Voice clarity stays high for typical vlog, podcast, and lecture recordings. Quality depends on how loud the music was relative to the speech in the original recording.
Does this work for videos with copyrighted background music?
Yes — technically. Upload your video, separate the voice from the music, then click 'Voice-Only Video' to generate a finished MP4 with the original picture and the voice track. We process the audio and don't take a position on copyright — making sure your use of the result is permitted is your responsibility.
What formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, WebM. Max 1000 MB per file. This tool is video-only — if you have a plain audio file (MP3, WAV, etc.), use the AI vocal remover instead.
How is this different from your main vocal remover tool?
Same AI engine, different use case. The AI vocal remover is built for musicians making acapellas or karaoke tracks from songs. This page is for vloggers, podcasters, interviewers, and educators removing background music from narration footage while keeping the voice.
Is this the same as muting a video or removing all audio?
No. Muting a video removes everything: music, speech, dialogue, and sound effects. This tool is designed to keep the voice or dialogue and remove the background music. If you want a fully silent MP4, download the silent video file after processing.
What if my video has wind, hiss, or room noise instead of music?
Use the AI audio noise reduction tool for hum, hiss, wind, fan noise, room tone, and keyboard clicks. This page is specifically for separating speech from background music.
I want the opposite — remove the voice and keep the music. Or redub a short video with my own narration.
Use our karaoke video maker instead. Same engine, but the page is set up around keeping the picture + music and dropping the voice — perfect for sing-along karaoke videos, dubbing TikTok / Reels / Shorts, or reaction-style content where you record over the original.
Can I do this for a TikTok or Instagram video?
Yes. Download the video first via your phone's screen recorder or a third-party downloader, then upload it here. After audio separation, click 'Voice-Only Video' or 'Karaoke Video' to generate the finished MP4 — no external video editor needed.
What's the difference between the silent video and the final videos?
After audio separation you can download three intermediate files: silent video (original picture, no audio), vocals.mp3, and instrumental.mp3. The two 'Combine into a final video' buttons mux these together for you: 'Voice-Only Video' = silent video + vocals (music removed). 'Karaoke Video' = silent video + instrumental (vocals removed). If you want a different combination (your own narration, replacement music, etc.), download the silent video and mix it yourself.
Do you train AI on my videos?
No. Uploads are deleted after 3 days, results after 7 days. We never use your content for model training.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Free starter credits on sign-up cover several short video tracks. Heavy users can buy credit packs or subscribe to Pro for daily credits — both are one-time payments with no auto-renewal.
