What is Youka?
Youka is an AI-powered karaoke video maker that transforms any song or video into professional karaoke in about 2 minutes. Users upload audio or video files, and the AI automatically removes vocals using industry-leading source separation, syncs lyrics word-by-word to the exact timing, and creates a stunning 1080p MP4 karaoke video. No manual lyric alignment is needed, and the tool works entirely in the browser without requiring software installation.
Key features include AI vocal removal, automatic lyric synchronization, full customization options (background colors/images/videos, fonts, colors, logo, intro video), 1080p MP4 export, Duet Mode for syncing multiple voices with different styles, a powerful sync editor for fine-tuning timing, YouTube to karaoke conversion with the Youka Extension, and a chord track feature for musicians to learn songs with synced chords. The platform supports 50+ languages and all popular audio formats (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC) and video formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV).
Youka is designed for casual singers who want to sing any song at parties or gatherings, professional DJs creating customized karaoke playlists, musicians practicing with chord tracks, content creators producing lyric videos for social media, and developers integrating karaoke creation into workflows via CLI, SDK, REST API, or AI agent skills. Over 80,630 creators worldwide already use the platform.
The platform offers developer tools including CLI for terminal-based karaoke creation, SDK for application integration, REST API for direct endpoint calls, and AI agent skills for Claude and Codex. A new Chord Track feature helps musicians learn songs with real-time progression tracking, practice difficult sections, and transpose/capo controls to match their voice or instrument.
