Frequently asked questions

MusicWipe is a video music remover for the web, Mac and Android, with iPhone and iPad coming soon. It separates your video's soundtrack into dialogue, music and effects, removes the background music, and keeps the dialogue and the sound effects and ambience.

Many tools that remove music from a video keep only the voice, so footsteps, applause and room sound go with the song. MusicWipe keeps them, the Ambience slider sets how much of them you keep, and you get the whole video back with a new soundtrack.

Yes. Turn the ambience slider down to keep only the dialogue, or up to keep the sound effects and background noise too. Changing it is instant and doesn't use minutes.

It is very good, but not perfect. Some videos can keep faint traces of the music, or lose a little of the sound you wanted to keep. That is why every video starts with a free 30-second preview, so you can hear the result before you clean the whole thing.

It can. MusicWipe removes most of the music, but it can't promise a video won't be claimed, because YouTube's Content ID, Instagram, TikTok and others use their own matching. With Pro, the copyright check shows which known songs were in the original and whether each one is still detectable after cleaning. It uses AudD, a music recognition service that doesn't recognize every song, so a clean result is a good sign, not a promise. On YouTube, the Checks step during upload runs YouTube's own copyright check before you publish. Only process footage you have the rights to use.

No. Only the audio track leaves your device. It is processed in the cloud and then deleted automatically, unless you choose to share a preview clip with your feedback. Your video stays on your device.

Separated audio is deleted 24 hours after your job finishes. Uploads that are abandoned before processing are deleted within 2 hours. As a backstop, nothing stays in storage for more than 2 days. The one exception is a preview clip you choose to share when you rate it Needs work: it is kept up to 90 days and used only to test and improve separation. Your audio is never used to train models and never sold.

Not with a minutes pack or a plan. Those exports replace only the soundtrack and don't re-encode the video, so the picture is exactly as it was. Exports made on the free minutes are re-encoded to add a small MusicWipe watermark.

The Mac app runs on macOS 15 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and you can download it now. The Android app runs on Android 8.0 or later and is available on Google Play. The web app runs in a current browser. MusicWipe for iPhone and iPad, for iOS and iPadOS 18 or later, is coming soon. Your plan and minutes belong to your MusicWipe account, so they work on every device you sign in on.

Free includes 30-second previews, up to 20 a day, plus 3 full minutes once. Creator is $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year for 120 minutes a month. Pro is $24.99 a month or $199.99 a year for 600 minutes a month, plus batch processing, lossless export and the copyright check. A top-up adds 60 minutes for $7.99, or $4.99 with a plan. In the US, sales tax is added at checkout where it applies.

Plans are measured in minutes of audio processed. A 3-minute video uses 3 minutes when you clean it in full. Changing the ambience slider afterwards is free.

No. Top-up minutes never expire.
