How do I remove background music from a video's audio?

Export the audio as a file, choose it here, and you get the voice separated from the music. Bring the voice back into your editing timeline — it returns at the original length and position, so it lines up with the video.

Will the music be gone completely?

Rarely completely. Where the music shares frequencies with the voice, removing it leaves artifacts in the voice. Sparse background music separates almost cleanly; a full mix under speech does not.

Does it remove noise as well?

No. This separates voice from music. Room noise, hum, traffic and handling noise are a different problem and stay in the voice track.

Is my audio uploaded and kept?

Neither. The separation model runs inside this browser tab, so the file is never uploaded and never stored. It is processed on your own machine and the results live in the tab until you close it.

What file types and lengths work?

MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC and OGG, up to 100 MB and 12 minutes. Download as 320 kbps MP3 or 24-bit WAV.

Background Music Remover

Strip the music out of a recording and keep the voice — same length, same timing, ready to drop back into your edit.

This runs inside your browser, not on our servers. Your file never leaves your machine and is never used to train ANYANO models.

Choose an audio file to separate

MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC or OGG — up to 100.0 MB and 8 minutes. Processed on your own machine.

Where voice and music share the same frequencies, separation leaves artifacts. Speech over sparse music separates far more cleanly than speech under a full mix.

Detail

How this works

Removing background music is a separation problem, not a subtraction. The model predicts the voice and the music as two signals, and where they occupy the same frequencies at the same moment the result is an estimate. That is why quiet, sparse backgrounds come away almost invisibly and busy mixes leave a residue in the voice.

Both halves are returned at the original timing, so the voice track can go straight back onto a video timeline or into a podcast edit without re-syncing anything.

One thing worth saying plainly: removing music from a recording does not license it. Use this on material you own or have permission to work with.
