Ultimate Vocal Remover
Free open-source desktop app for AI vocal and stem separation.
About
Ultimate Vocal Remover, usually called UVR, is a free open-source desktop application that splits songs into vocals, instrumentals, drums, bass, and other stems. It bundles state-of-the-art separation models including MDX-Net and Demucs behind a graphical interface, so producers get paid-tool quality without a subscription.
It runs locally on Windows, macOS, and Linux with no account, no watermark, and no file limits. The project is maintained by Anjok07 with community-trained models, and it is widely recommended as the best fully free option for vocal removal and remixing.
