SPLIT VOCALS

If you are using Kapwing on a Free Account, all exports include a small watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro Account, the watermark is completely removed from everything you create.

To split vocals from music, upload your song into Kapwing, choose a royalty-free song from our library, or copy & paste a YouTube link into the editor. Next, select the "Split Vocals" icon in the right-hand toolbar to separate vocal an instrumental frequencies, a process that will take about a minute. Then, adjust the volume of the isolated vocal and/or instrumental track depending on your needs, export, and download an MP3.

To split audio from video, you can use a range of different online applications for audio extraction or audio software like Logic Pro and Ableton. If you want a simple option that provides a range of easy-to-use customizations, split audio from video in Kapwing using either the Detach Audio or Split Vocals feature depending on your needs. The Detach Audio feature will separate an entire audio track from a video, while Split Vocals will separate the audio track and then split it into an instrumental track and a vocal track.

You can upload a wide range of video and audio file types, including MOV, FLAC, WEBM, WEBP, HEIC, M4A, MKV, WAV, MP4, and MP3. Kapwing supports exporting in MP4, MP3, PNG, and GIF formats, ensuring compatibility with your preferred output.

The time required to split your audio depends on the length of your original file. Short clips (10–30 seconds) typically process in under a minute, while full-length tracks may take around 4–5 minutes to complete.

Yes, you can upload any MP4 or MP3 file or import a song using a URL link, such as a YouTube or social media video. However, unless explicitly stated as royalty-free, most music is copyrighted, meaning you cannot commercially use someone else's original work without proper licensing, as it would violate copyright laws. Be sure to review copyright rules before deciding how to use your content.

To make a karaoke video using Kapwing, you can upload a video file with music or paste a URL from a platform like YouTube. Then, press the "Split Vocals" button in the right-hand toolbar and the audio will be extracted and separated into two distinct tracks: vocals and instrumentals. Mute or delete the vocal track, auto-generate subtitles to better follow along with lyrics, and then export your video.

To sample music, upload or paste a link into the editor and use the "Split Vocals" feature to remove the vocals, leaving you separate vocal and instrumental tracks. You can mute or delete the vocal track, then experiment with the remaining instrumental. You can export the instrumental track to use as a sample underlying other recorded audio, cut out a specific section you want to insert into a track you're working on, or create a remix using audio looping, rearranged segments, and speed adjustments.

You can make a song cover with Kapwing in a few simple steps. Start by removing the vocals from an audio or video file. Then, record your own vocal rendition and upload it to layer over the isolated instrumental. Alternatively, you can record a vocal track directly in Kapwing using the Record Voice feature and Teleprompter.
