Is Kapwing's background noise remover free?

Does Kapwing's background noise remover work on Android and iPhone?

Yes, Kapwing's noise remover tool is compatible with all mobile devices, including both Android and iPhone.

Can you remove a voice from a song using Kapwing?

No, it is not possible to remove a specific singing voice from a song using Kapwing. The tool is unable to isolate or eliminate vocals from music tracks. Instead, Kapwing's background noise remover is ideal for projects like presentations, tutorials, training videos, podcasts, voice notes, interviews, sales videos, and lectures, where it helps to clean up background noise and enhance audio clarity.

What audio and video formats does Kapwing support?

Can you remove music from a video using Kapwing?

Yes, you can easily remove audio from a video using Kapwing. Simply open the video editor and upload your file to a blank canvas. Once the video appears in the editing timeline, right-click on it and select 'Split Audio'. This will separate the audio track from the video, creating two layers: one for video and one for audio. Delete the audio layer to remove the sound, leaving you with a silent video that’s ready for new music, sound effects, or a silent background.

Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including AI-generated content — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.

How do you remove the background noise on mobile?

Kapwing works across all mobile devices such as iPhone and Android, and we recommend using Google Chrome for the best user experience. To remove the background noise on mobile, start by uploading your content to Kapwing's online browser. Next, select the video file (or audio layer if there is no video content) and click "Edit video" at the top of the page. Under the '"Edit" tab, scroll until you see the "Clean audio", which will remove any background noise with one click.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
