What Youka does

Youka is an AI karaoke maker and lyric video maker for turning songs into synced karaoke videos or styled lyric videos in a browser. It separates vocals from instrumentals, aligns lyrics to the audio, and packages the result as an MP4 that can be previewed and edited before export.

The product supports uploads from common audio and video formats, plus public video URL workflows through the Youka Extension. It is aimed at creators who want to make karaoke tracks, lyric videos, practice files, or event playback videos without building everything in a separate editing app.

Core features

End-to-end karaoke workflow

Upload audio or video, remove vocals, sync lyrics, preview the draft, make timing or style adjustments, and export from a single online project.

AI lyric timing and sync editor

Generate the first lyric draft automatically and then refine word timing, line breaks, and readability in the sync editor.

Visual customization

Create lyric videos with backgrounds, logo placement, intro video support, and configurable fonts, sizes, and colors.

MP4 export options

Export finished karaoke videos as 1080p MP4 files, with 4K MP4 mentioned on the karaoke video maker page.

Duet mode

Assign separate styling and colors to two or more voices for duet karaoke videos.

Developer tools

Use Youka from scripts, apps, backend services, or AI agents through CLI, SDK, and API tools.

Common ways to use Youka
