## Overview

Vocal Separator is a web tool that uses AI to split an audio recording into vocals and an instrumental backing track, or into four stems (vocals, drums, bass and other). You upload one MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A or OGG file of up to 10 minutes and 100 MB, listen to the separated tracks in the browser and download them as WAV files. Free use needs no account or card and is limited to five jobs per browser per UTC day, shared between the two-track and four-track tools, with downloads available for 55 minutes after processing.

## FAQ

**Is Vocal Separator free?**

Yes, for up to five jobs per browser per UTC day with no account or card. Files can be up to 10 minutes and 100 MB, and results must be downloaded within 55 minutes.

**What file formats can I upload?**

MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A and OGG. Results download as WAV files.

**What do I get from a separation?**

Two-track jobs give vocals and instrumental WAV files. Four-track jobs give vocals, drums, bass and other.

**What does the paid option cost?**

The Minute Pack costs $9.99 once for 90 processing minutes valid for 12 months, with no automatic renewal.

**What happens to my uploaded audio?**

Free uploads are scheduled for deletion about 23 hours after upload starts, and the site says it does not use uploads to train its own models. A third-party provider, Replicate, processes the file temporarily.

**Can I use it on songs I don't own?**

The terms require you to own the audio or have permission to process it, and separation does not grant any rights to someone else's music.

**Do the tempo and bass tools upload my audio?**

No. The BPM, tap tempo, metronome, bass boost and audio practice tools run on your device.
