How to remove vocals from a song on Chromebook
Chromebooks are locked to Chrome OS and cannot run most desktop vocal removers. VocalSplit is a pure web tool, so it works on any Chromebook exactly the way it works on a desktop.
ChromeOS saves downloads to the Files app under Downloads. From there you can open WAVs in Audacity for ChromeOS, Soundation or any other web DAW.
Step-by-step
- Open vocalsplit.io in Chrome. Works on every Chromebook, from Celeron to M1-equivalent.
- Upload your audio file. From Downloads, Google Drive or USB storage. Up to 100 MB.
- Pay with Google Pay or card. Stripe supports both; no Chromebook-specific setup needed.
- Wait for processing. The separator runs on cloud GPUs — the Chromebook just displays a progress indicator.
- Download the stems. The zip lands in the Files app. Right-click and Extract, and you have two WAV files.
Tips for better results
- Chromebooks with Android app support can use apps like BandLab to edit the stems afterwards.
- For classroom use, VocalSplit avoids the install-permission headaches you run into with Audacity.
- The whole workflow works offline only for downloading pre-processed stems — processing itself needs a connection.
