Remixes and mashups
An acapella over a different instrumental is the oldest trick in dance music. Clear the rights before you release anything — extracting a vocal does not give you a licence to it.
TRAINED SEPARATION MODEL · 192 KBPS OUT · NOTHING TO INSTALL
Keep the voice, lose the band.
Drop in MP3 or WAV tracks and get the acapella back. A trained model listens to the mix and lifts the voice away from everything behind it. Be warned that this is the harder direction: an isolated vocal is far less forgiving than an instrumental, because every artifact lands in the open with nothing to hide behind. Up to 50 at a time, nothing to install, no watermark.

Collect them within the hour. Download links expire 60 minutes after extraction. You get the vocal back — if you wanted the backing track without the singer instead, that is the Vocal Remover, and it is the easier of the two directions.
Why the paid extractor is the one worth using
Free acapella tools come in two kinds. The bad kind flips one stereo channel against the other, which cancels anything centred and leaves you with the reverb and the cymbals rather than a voice. The better kind uses a real model but pays for the servers with ads, one-file-a-day limits and 128 kbps output — and a 128 kbps solo vocal is where you hear every corner that was cut.
50 tracks in one pass
Queue a whole crate instead of feeding songs in one at a time and waiting after each. Separation is slow; batching is where you get the time back.
Anonymous and private
Your recordings stay yours. We do not track who uploads what, and files are never handed to third parties.
Not a phase-cancellation trick
Centre-channel cancellation is what most free tools do, and inverted for vocals it gives you a hollow wash of room and cymbals. A trained model separates by what a voice actually sounds like, which is the only approach that produces something you can use.

Free acapella extractors exist because advertising pays for them, and it shows: many still use centre-channel cancellation, which for vocals returns a hollow smear of reverb rather than a voice. The ones with a real model cap your uploads, stop you after a track or two a day, and hand back 128 kbps — which is exactly where an exposed solo vocal falls apart. Acapella Cyborg starts at €1 for a day, installs nothing, takes 50 tracks at once up to 200 MB and 30 minutes each, and returns 192 kbps.
Extracting a vocal is the harder direction
Both directions use the same model, but they are not equally forgiving, and it is worth knowing that before you spend money. An instrumental hides small mistakes underneath drums and guitars. An acapella has nowhere to hide: a stray cymbal, a trace of the snare, a chopped reverb tail — all of it sits in the open next to a solo voice, where the ear notices immediately.

It listens, it does not subtract
modelThe old approach inverts one stereo channel to cancel whatever is centred, then keeps the leftovers. For a vocal that means you get the room, the reverb and the cymbals — everything except a usable voice. A trained model works from what singing actually sounds like.
Where it comes out clean
goodA single lead voice, recorded up front and dry, over an arrangement that leaves it room. Modern pop and most chart material fit that description, which is why those are the acapellas that circulate.
Where it struggles
honestHeavy reverb is the worst case, because the tail belongs to the voice and the room at the same time and the model has to guess. Stacked harmonies, doubled vocals, live recordings, crowd noise and dense electronic production all leave audible bleed. You will hear ghosts of the backing more often than you would on the instrumental side.
You get the vocal
1 stemThe model produces two parts and this tool hands back the one with the singing. If you wanted the other half, the Vocal Remover returns the instrumental from the same separation.
Quality is preserved on the way out
192An MP3 upload comes back as 192 kbps rather than the 128 kbps most tools default to, and a WAV upload comes back as WAV. That matters more here than anywhere else in the suite, because a solo voice is where encoder shortcuts become obvious.
The honest caveat: this is not a studio vocal stem
An extracted acapella is an estimate reconstructed from a finished mix, not the vocal booth take with everything else muted. Judged as a remix ingredient, a reference, or something to study and sing along with, it is a good result. Judged against the real stem — the thing a label would hand a remixer — it is not the same object, and no online tool can make it so. Try one song before committing a whole crate.

What people actually use it for
An isolated vocal is a building block. These are the things people build with it:
R
DJ intros and transitions
Drop a recognisable vocal over the outgoing track and let the crowd hear the next song coming before the beat arrives.
P
Studying how a singer works
Phrasing, breath, vibrato and the tiny timing choices behind a performance are all buried under the mix until you take the mix away.
F
Vocal coaching and rehearsal
Teachers use an isolated take to show what a student is aiming at, one line at a time, without an arrangement in the way.
T
Sampling a phrase
A single sung line is far more usable as a sample when nothing else is glued to it. The same licensing caution applies.
S
Checking a mix you made
Run a reference track you admire through it and hear how loud, how dry and how compressed that vocal really sits.
Whatever it is for, upload your tracks and get the acapellas back.
A different job?
Want the backing track rather than the voice? That is Vocal Remover Cyborg. Chasing a single instrument? Drum Cyborg, Bass Cyborg and Piano Cyborg pull those out. Need the audio out of a video first? Extract Audio — all included in one account.
Common questions
Getting started
What is Acapella Cyborg?
A web app that separates the singing from the backing in a song and gives you the singing. It takes MP3 and WAV, runs a trained separation model on our servers, and returns the isolated vocal at 192 kbps — up to 50 tracks at a time, with nothing to install.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It runs on every Android phone and on iOS 12 or later. The separation happens on our servers, so a phone finishes as fast as a desktop — all you need is a browser.
How do I get an acapella from a song?
Two steps. Drag your files onto the upload box at the top of this page — up to 50 at a time — then download the results individually or as a single ZIP. There is nothing to install and no settings to pick.
Quality, size and batches
How good is the result, honestly?
Less forgiving than the instrumental side, and worth testing on one song before you commit a batch. A dry, up-front lead vocal over an arrangement that gives it room — most modern pop — comes out clean enough to remix with. Heavy reverb is the hardest case, because the tail belongs to both the voice and the room and the model has to guess where to cut. Stacked harmonies, doubled vocals, live recordings and dense electronic production all leave audible traces of the backing. Every online separator has this problem; nothing in your upload settings changes it.
Will I get the instrumental as well?
No. The model produces both parts, but this tool hands back the vocal only. The Vocal Remover returns the other half from the same separation. And if a track's name happens to contain the word "vocals", you still get exactly one file per upload: the acapella.
How many files can I do at once?
Up to 50 per batch. Filenames are kept, and you can download the results individually or as a single ZIP. Bear in mind separation is much slower than a format conversion, so a full batch of 50 is not instant.
Is there a size or length limit?
200 MB per file and 30 minutes per track. The length limit is the one that matters: separation holds the whole song in memory as it works, so a track longer than 30 minutes is refused outright rather than quietly returned with the end missing. Split a long live recording before uploading.
Which formats can I upload?
MP3 and WAV. An MP3 comes back as a 192 kbps MP3 and a WAV comes back as a WAV, so an uncompressed upload stays uncompressed — which is the better choice here, since a solo vocal shows encoding artifacts more readily than a full mix. If your file is FLAC, M4A or something else, run it through one of the converters first.
Can I paste a YouTube link?
No — this tool works on files you upload, not on links. If the song only exists to you as a video, get the audio first with MP3 Cyborg or Extract Audio, then bring the MP3 or WAV back here. Both are included in the same account.
Can I release a remix built on an extracted acapella?
That is a licensing question, not a technical one, and extracting a vocal does not give you any rights to it. The recording and the composition still belong to whoever owned them before, and a remix normally needs permission from both. Plenty of people make these for themselves or for a DJ set; releasing or monetising one is a different matter, and worth clearing properly.
Pricing, privacy & limits
How much does it cost?
A €1 day pass gives you 24 hours of unlimited conversions. Yearly (€6) and lifetime (€30) plans are also available (+ VAT). Every plan unlocks all 79 AppsCyborg tools, not just this one.
How long does my download link stay valid?
60 minutes. After that the link expires and the converted files are removed — just re-run the conversion if you need them again.
Do you track or store my files?
No. We do not apply advertising or analytics tracking to what you upload, and your files are never sold or shared for marketing. Uploaded audio is processed only to produce your acapella and removed when the 60-minute download window closes.
Is there a limit on how often I can convert?
No. While your day pass, yearly or lifetime plan is active you can run as many 50-file batches as you like — there is no monthly quota and no per-conversion charge.
Still have a question?
We usually reply within a day.
Your acapellas are a few minutes away.
