How to remove vocals from a YouTube video

  1. Paste a YouTube video, Shorts, or youtu.be link.
  2. The audio is fetched and separated automatically — usually a few minutes.
  3. Preview and download the vocals, the instrumental, or both.

Why paste a link instead of downloading first

The regular Vocal Remover works from a file already on your device — which normally means downloading the audio with one tool, then uploading it to another. This version chains both steps together, so a link is all you need. The separation itself is identical; only the input method differs.

Curious why this takes longer than a file upload, or what happens when a video can't be fetched at all? Read How AudioForges' YouTube Tools Work: Fetch, Then Process.

Common uses

Making a karaoke backing track from a song on YouTube, pulling an acapella for a remix or mashup, isolating an instrumental to practice singing over, and studying how a track is arranged by listening to its parts separately.
