Remove background music from a video — and keep the picture
Most tools hand back an audio file. Here's how to remove background music from a video and get the result back as a video, with the picture untouched.
If you've ever searched for a way to strip background music out of a video, you already know the pattern: almost every "vocal remover" or "BGM remover" takes your file and gives you back an audio file. A WAV, an MP3, maybe two stems. Never your video back.
That's fine if you only wanted the soundtrack. But if your goal is to fix the video itself — remove shop music from a vlog, clean up a wedding clip, strip a copyrighted track before uploading — an audio file is only half the job. You still have to re-encode, line up, and re-attach everything yourself.
Video in, video out
This is the gap BGM Remover fills. You drop a video, and the tool returns:
- a speech-only video — same picture, only the voice kept
- a music-only video — same picture, only the background music kept
- both audio stems as separate files, if you want to work in an editor
The picture is never re-encoded. The video stream is copied as-is and only the audio track is replaced, so the footage looks exactly like the original — frame for frame.
How it works
- Drop your file on the home page. MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM — up to 2 GB or 30 minutes.
- Press separate. The audio track is extracted in your browser (via WebAssembly) and uploaded for AI separation. The video itself never leaves your device.
- Download the results. Two videos and two stems, in one pass.

Why the picture stays intact
Removing music is an audio problem, not a video problem. So the tool only re-processes sound: the extracted audio track (~1 MB per minute) is sent for AI separation, and the video stream is remuxed with the cleaned audio using stream copy — the fastest and most lossless way to swap a soundtrack.
What about copyrighted music in a vlog?
If YouTube muted your video because of shop background music, the workflow is the same: run the clip through the tool, keep the speech-only version, and re-upload. See the vlog copyright-music fix for the full walkthrough.
