Remove Vocal vs ShootForge: Which Is Better in 2026?

Remove Vocal is an online AI vocal remover and stem splitter. It takes a finished song or video and separates it into individual, playable tracks, so you can make karaoke and backing tracks, pull out clean acapellas, or work with single instruments without any audio-engineering knowledge.

How it works
Upload an audio file (MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A or OGG) or a video (MP4, WebM, MOV or AVI) up to 500 MB. There is no need to convert video first. Then choose a separation mode:

- 2 stems: vocals and instrumental
- Hi-Fi 2 stems: the cleanest vocal/instrumental split
- 4 stems: vocals, drums, bass and other
- 6 stems: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other

When processing finishes, you can preview and balance every stem in the browser before downloading, so you only keep the tracks you need.

Built for practice and performance
Every plan includes timed lyrics that scroll in sync with the separated tracks, plus pitch and tempo controls that work separately from each other. Singers can move a song into a comfortable key, and musicians can slow a difficult passage down without changing its pitch. Audio and video export are included on all plans.

Who uses it
- Karaoke fans making sing-along tracks at home
- Singers, vocal students and cover artists who need a clean instrumental
- Guitarists, bassists, drummers and keyboard players who want to mute their own part and play along
- DJs and producers extracting acapellas and stems for remixes and mashups
- Music teachers preparing rehearsal tracks for students
- Buskers and gigging musicians building backing tracks
- Video editors and content creators who need music without vocals under narration

Why Remove Vocal
The whole workflow happens in one browser tab: upload, choose a mode, preview, download. It works on Mac, Windows, Linux and mobile browsers, and the site is available in English, German and Korean.

Pricing
Two simple unlimited plans: Unlimited Weekly at $2.99/week, or Unlimited Monthly at $5.99/month (best value). Both include every separation mode and every feature.

Please only separate music you have the right to use, especially if you plan to publish or perform the result.

What problem it solves

Getting a clean instrumental or acapella from a finished song usually means hunting for an official karaoke version that may not exist, or using phase-cancellation tricks in an audio editor that also wipe out the bass and kick drum and leave reverb behind. Remove Vocal solves this for singers, musicians, DJs, teachers and video creators: upload the song or video, pick 2, 4 or 6 stems, and download separated tracks in minutes, with no software to install and no audio-engineering skills needed.

Alternatives & competitors

An alternative to stem-separation tools such as Moises and Fadr, and to manual phase-cancellation in audio editors like Audacity. Remove Vocal runs entirely in the browser, accepts video files directly, offers a Hi-Fi 2-stem mode and a 6-stem mode with separate guitar and piano, and keeps pricing simple with unlimited weekly or monthly plans.
