Split stems freeWhat the free stem splitter does
unstem.me is a free online stem splitter and stem separator. It breaks a finished mix into the four stems most creators need: vocals, drums, bass and other instruments. It is designed for link-based workflows, so you can paste a YouTube video, a public SoundCloud track, or a public Instagram Reel instead of uploading an audio file.
Use it to practice an instrument, make karaoke tracks, study arrangements, transcribe buried parts, or sketch a remix. The result is AI-separated, so it is not the same as the artist's original studio multitrack, but it is fast and practical for everyday music work.

What is the difference between a stem splitter and a stem separator?
They are the same thing. A stem splitter (or stem separator) uses AI to break a finished stereo mix back into its parts — vocals, drums, bass and other instruments — as separate audio files.
Is this an online stem splitter or do I need software?
It is fully online. Everything runs in the browser and on our servers — there is nothing to install and it works on any device.
Can I extract stems without uploading a file?
Yes. Paste a YouTube, SoundCloud or Instagram URL and the audio is fetched server-side, so you never have to download or upload the file yourself.
Can I download the separated stems for free?
Yes. Once the split finishes, you can download individual MP3 stems or the complete ZIP.
