How it works
- Upload a song (MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A — up to 8 minutes).
- CENSORLY separates the vocal track from the music using Demucs, then transcribes the vocals word-by-word with OpenAI Whisper.
- Explicit words are auto-detected against an English and Spanish profanity dictionary. You review the detections, toggle words on or off, or add manual mute regions.
- Export a 320 kbps MP3 with the muted segments crossfaded, original metadata + album art preserved.
Features
- Stem-separated muting — only the vocal track is muted, so the underlying instrumental plays through at full quality. No volume drops, no audio artifacts.
- Word-level review — every detected word is shown with its timestamp; click to toggle it back on or flag additional words manually.
- Bilingual — English and Spanish — auto-detects Spanish vocals and applies a dedicated Spanish profanity dictionary tuned for reggaeton, Latin trap, and other Spanish- language genres. Drops in seamlessly for bilingual catalogs that mix English and Spanish tracks.
- Original metadata preserved — title, artist, album, year, comments, lyrics, and embedded album art all round-trip into the cleaned export.
- Broadcast-ready output — 320 kbps MP3 with 30 ms crossfades at every mute boundary so the edits are inaudible.
- Fast — typical 3-4 minute song processes in under 30 seconds on our GPU pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a radio edit?
A radio edit is a version of a song with explicit language muted or removed so it can be played on broadcast radio, in stores, at events, or on family-friendly streaming services.
How do I make a clean version of a song?
Upload the song to CENSORLY. The app automatically transcribes the vocals, flags every explicit word, and lets you review the detection. Click Export to download a clean version of the track — a 320 kbps MP3 with the curse words muted and the music untouched.
How do I remove curse words from a song?
CENSORLY removes curse words automatically. It isolates the vocal track from the music, transcribes every word with timestamps, matches against an English and Spanish profanity list, and mutes the matching segments with a 30 ms crossfade so the edit is inaudible. You can also flag additional words manually before exporting the clean edit.
How does CENSORLY detect explicit lyrics?
CENSORLY separates the vocal track from the music with Demucs, transcribes the vocals word-by-word with OpenAI Whisper, and matches each word against an English and Spanish profanity dictionary. You can review the detection and toggle words on or off before exporting.
Does muting affect the music quality?
No. CENSORLY only mutes the isolated vocal stem, so the underlying instrumental keeps playing at full quality. The final export is a 320 kbps MP3 with the original metadata and album art preserved.
Can CENSORLY clean reggaeton and Spanish songs?
Yes. CENSORLY auto-detects Spanish vocals and applies a dedicated Spanish profanity dictionary tuned for reggaeton, Latin trap, and other Spanish-language genres. The same workflow that cleans English rap and hip-hop produces a clean version of any reggaeton or Spanish-language track. Other languages can be transcribed but rely on manual flagging for now.
How do I make a clean version of a reggaeton song?
Upload the reggaeton track to CENSORLY. The app automatically detects that the vocals are in Spanish and applies the Spanish profanity dictionary, flagging every explicit word with a timestamp. Review the detection, then export a 320 kbps MP3 with the curse words muted and the beat untouched — a broadcast-ready clean edit ready for radio, clubs, or streaming.
How long does it take to process a song?
A typical 3-4 minute song processes in under 30 seconds on our GPU pipeline. The first song after a period of inactivity may take ~60 seconds due to a one-time GPU cold start.
