Sample comparison studio
Compare the sample with music and without music. The picture and voice stay the same.
Segment playback settings
This demo uses separate, pre-made voice and music tracks. It does not separate audio from your own video.
Remove the music without losing the words
Muting a video removes the voice along with the music. This tool first separates the soundtrack into voice and music, then removes the music and starts the voice at its original level. Before you download, listen to quiet words and sentence endings in the preview. If the music still suits the video and is only too loud, lower it instead of removing it. The prepared sample on this page uses separate, pre-made tracks, so it shows the kind of result rather than testing separation quality.

FAQ
Before you begin
How do I remove background music from a video but keep the voice?+
Upload the video at the top of this page as an MP4 or MOV. Sonilo separates the voice from the music, usually in under a minute, and the preview starts with the music removed. Check the dialogue, then download the MP4 with the voice and no music.
Is it free?+
Yes, with a free Sonilo account. Removing music here uses no credits; once you sign in, the tool shows how many free videos you have left for the day.
Does this example cover singing?+
No. It contains spoken synthetic narration, not singing. Results for vocals in songs cannot be inferred from it.
Will turning up the voice restore missing words?+
No restoration is provided here. A louder preview cannot establish that missing details have been recovered; the sample is a listening illustration only.
