How to make karaoke on iPhone
To make karaoke on iPhone from a song you already have, add the file to Karaoke Maker, wait while it removes the singer on the device, then play, record, or export the track. You do not need a karaoke catalog listing for that song.
Why this is hard on a phone
iPhone music libraries are full of songs people want to sing. Karaoke versions of those same songs are often missing. Moving the file to a computer just to strip vocals adds extra steps. A phone-side path is: file in, vocal out, instrumental ready.
What you need
- An iPhone with a song file you can open (MP3, WAV, AIFF, AAC, or M4A).
- Karaoke Maker installed from the App Store.
- A first-launch download of the vocal model if it is not installed yet.
Step-by-step
- Open Karaoke Maker and tap Choose a file.
- Pick the song from this iPhone.
- Wait through “Lifting the vocal.” The instruments remain in place.
- When the karaoke is ready, play it. Save it to the library if you want it in History.
- Optional: tap sing to record a take, or export a file to Files.
Useful tips
- Keep the original. Conversion does not replace the song in your music library; it makes a karaoke copy inside the app.
- If you plan a karaoke night, convert the set in advance. The first three songs are free.
- Preferred export type lives in Settings and is used when you save or share from the library.
Common mistakes
- Picking a DRM-protected stream instead of a file the app can decode.
- Leaving before the first model download finishes.
- Discarding the karaoke when you leave the screen if you have not saved it to History.
How Karaoke Maker helps
This is the core listing flow: add a song from this iPhone, remove the voice on the device, sing along or export. For the vocal-only question, see how to remove vocals on iPhone. For the product overview, see the karaoke maker app guide.
