Vocal Remover Karaoke
If you searched for a “vocal remover for karaoke,” you probably want two things:
1) vocals removed from the song, and 2) lyrics on screen that actually match the timing.
Croonify does both. Upload an audio file (or a video file), paste in your lyrics, and Croonify generates a karaoke video with the vocals removed and the lyrics synchronized on screen.
No subscriptions. No account. Regular free access. Purchases (if you choose to make them) are per-output.
What Croonify Removes
Main vocal removal: Croonify’s goal is to remove the “lead” vocal that you would normally sing along with.
Background vs main separation: Croonify also separates background/harmony content independently. This matters because some songs have backing vocals that behave more like instruments, and some songs have backing vocals that are still “vocals.” Treating everything as one bucket is often what makes vocal removal sound unnatural.
Reality check: vocal removal is never perfect. Choral music, heavy reverb, stacked harmonies, and “vocal-as-synth” production are hard. But for typical studio tracks, Croonify produces a very usable karaoke mix.
Why Lyrics Sync Matters
A lot of “vocal remover” tools stop at exporting an instrumental. Karaoke is different: if the words aren’t on-screen at the right moment, it’s frustrating to sing.
Croonify uses the recorded vocals as a timing guide to synchronize every word to the performance. That is why you must upload a version of the song that still has vocals — Croonify needs the singing to know where the words go.
After generation, Croonify includes an easy timing editor so you can correct edge cases quickly (and regenerate the video).
How to Get Good Results
Use a normal song file (not a karaoke track)
Croonify synchronizes lyrics from the recorded vocals. If the vocals are missing, Croonify can’t place the lyrics accurately.
Make sure the lyrics are complete and clean
Croonify tries to synchronize every word, in order, through the full song. That means:
- If the chorus repeats 3 times, it must appear 3 times in the lyrics.
- Remove annotations, ads, or commentary text in the middle of the lyrics.
- If the singer adds “oh,” “yeah,” or other vocalizations that you want timed, include them.
Higher audio quality helps
When vocals are removed, production choices (like instrumental “ducking”) and compression artifacts become easier to notice. A higher quality source file typically produces a cleaner instrumental.
