If you're looking for a way to remove vocals online, Croonify can do that — but with an important difference: Croonify is designed to make karaoke videos, not just an instrumental file. Vocal removal is one part of the pipeline, and lyric synchronization is the other part.

That matters because most "vocal remover" tools stop at exporting an instrumental. Croonify gives you a playable karaoke-style result: vocals reduced, lyrics on screen, and a simple timing editor so the lyrics actually land where you want them.

To get started, go to the main Croonify page and upload a song file and lyrics. No account is required.

Go to Croonify

Croonify separates a song into components so that the main vocal can be reduced while keeping the rest of the track usable for singing.

In particular, Croonify aims to separate:

• Main vocal (lead)
• Background vocals / harmonies
• Everything else (instrumental mix)

This is useful because some songs have loud harmonies or stacked vocals that you may want reduced differently than the lead vocal. Croonify treats those elements separately so the karaoke mix can be cleaner.

Vocal removal is never perfect. It depends on the original mix, the amount of reverb, how much the vocal overlaps with instruments, and the quality of the file you upload.

Also, most professionally produced tracks use dynamic mixing ("ducking") so the instrumental drops slightly under the voice. Once the voice is removed, that ducking becomes more noticeable — the instrumental can sound like it briefly dips during vocal phrases. That's a production choice in the original recording, and it can show up more clearly after separation.

Higher-quality sources produce better results. If you have options, use a higher bitrate file rather than a heavily compressed one.

Most vocal removers don't ask for lyrics. Croonify does, because the vocals in your uploaded song are used to synchronize the lyrics before the karaoke result is rendered.

If you upload a karaoke track that already has no vocals, Croonify has nothing to synchronize against. The tool needs the original vocal performance to align the words.

If your track is already karaoke

Use an original recording with vocals (even if you plan to remove them). That gives Croonify the information it needs to place the lyrics accurately.

Croonify outputs a karaoke video designed to be easy to share and easy to store.

• 1080p rendering
• Small file sizes (often under 10MB)
• Tools for adding a background image or video
• Timing editor for lyric fixes after generation
• Support for multiple voices and customizable on-screen layouts

If you only wanted an "instrumental", Croonify can still be useful — but it's optimized for the full karaoke result, including lyrics on screen.

Is Croonify free?

Croonify allows regular free use without restricting features. There is also a paid flow for generating downloadable results when needed, and there are no subscriptions or commitments.

Why does my instrumental sound "wobbly" or underwater?

That usually happens when the vocal shares frequencies with instruments (guitars, synths, strings) or has heavy reverb. Separation algorithms sometimes remove parts of the instrumental that resemble the vocal, which can create artifacts.

Can Croonify remove background vocals too?

Croonify separates main vocals and background vocals independently, which helps reduce harmonies and stacked vocals more cleanly than a single-pass remover in many cases.

Can I fix lyric timing after I generate the video?

Yes. Croonify includes a timing editor and allows lyric changes after the initial generation, with limited regenerations granted so you can fine-tune the result.

Does Croonify support different languages?

Croonify works with many languages and character sets. If your language doesn't synchronize well, use the support link to report it and I can work on improving support.
