How to remove vocals from an OGG file
OGG (Vorbis) and Opus are the open-source lossy formats you run into with Bandcamp downloads, Spotify cache files, Discord recordings and most open-source audio tools. VocalSplit handles both directly.
Opus is technically newer and slightly more efficient than Vorbis, but the separator treats them the same way. Quality of the output stems depends on the bitrate of your source file.
Step-by-step
- Open VocalSplit.io. Works in every browser — no extension, no install.
- Upload your OGG or Opus file. Files up to 100 MB are supported. A typical 3-minute Vorbis file at 192 kbps is only 4 MB, so you have plenty of headroom.
- Pay for the split. Single splits are $0.99. Packs are cheaper per split if you have a batch.
- Wait about 15 seconds. OGG and Opus both decode quickly. Most tracks finish in well under 20 seconds.
- Download the WAV stems. Vocals and instrumental come back as lossless 24-bit WAV, regardless of how compressed the source was.
Tips for better results
- If your OGG is from Bandcamp, you can also download the same track as FLAC for a cleaner source.
- Opus files from Discord voice chats work well for isolating a single speaker.
- For broken or truncated OGG files, re-encode through ffmpeg first to fix the headers.
