How do I remove the background from a video?

Remove Background from Video is a tool that uses AI to separate the person in a clip from everything behind them, frame by frame. You upload an MP4, MOV or WEBM of up to 30 seconds and choose the new background: transparent, green screen, white or black. Transparent comes back as a WebM video and the solid colors as MP4. The original sound is kept, and the price is 119 credits per second of video.

How to use Remove Background from Video in 3 steps

  1. Upload a clip of up to 30 seconds

    Choose an MP4, MOV or WEBM. Clips with one person clearly in front of the background give the cleanest edges.

  2. Choose the new background

    Pick Transparent (WebM), Green screen, White or Black.

  3. Remove the background from the video

    Press Remove background. The result is saved in My Videos: a WebM if you chose Transparent, an MP4 for the solid colors.

What Remove Background from Video does

No green screen needed on set

The AI finds the person in every frame, so the clip can be filmed in a living room, an office or on the street. There's no backdrop to set up and nothing to key out afterwards.

Transparent WebM for layering

Choose Transparent and everything behind the person is see-through. Place the WebM over gameplay, slides or another video in an editor that supports transparent WebM.

Green screen MP4 for any editor

Choose Green screen to get the person on solid green. Any editor or mobile app with a chroma key can then put them on a background of your choice, even if it can't open transparent WebM files.

White or black, ready to post

Choose White or Black for a clean studio look straight away, such as a talking-head intro or a product demo on plain white.

Sound kept in sync

Speech and music from your upload stay on the result, so the clip is ready to use without putting the audio back by hand.

Comparison

Why use Remove Background from Video instead of filming on a green screen?

A green screen means a backdrop, even lighting and keying afterwards. Here you film anywhere and pick the background later.

What you can make with it

Put your facecam over gameplay or a screen recording

You recorded a reaction on your webcam and want it to sit over the footage instead of in a box in the corner.

  • Trim the webcam clip to the reaction you'll use: 8 seconds costs 952 credits.
  • Choose Transparent and layer the WebM over your gameplay in your editor.
  • If your editor shows a black background, run it again with Green screen and use a chroma key instead.

Make a clean talking-head intro on white

A 15-second channel or product intro filmed at your desk looks busy with the room behind you.

  • Choose White for a bright, plain look, or Black for a darker one.
  • Light your face evenly so the edges come out clean.
  • The 15-second clip costs 1,785 credits and is ready to post as an MP4.

Build a green screen clip for an edit or meme template

You want to drop yourself into different backgrounds in a mobile editor and reuse the same take several times.

  • Choose Green screen to get an MP4 that any chroma key tool can read.
  • Keep the take short and keep your hands away from the edges of the frame.
  • Your voice stays on the clip, so the line plays over every new background.
  • A 5-second take costs 595 credits.

Who it's for

Streamers and gamers

Turn a webcam recording into a cut-out that sits over gameplay, with no green screen behind the desk.

Short-form creators

Put yourself on any background for skits, reactions and explainers, using a green screen MP4 or a transparent WebM.

Small brand owners

Film product demos and intros anywhere and post them on a clean white or black background for your brand's accounts.

Editors and designers

Get a transparent WebM of a person to layer into motion graphics, slides or web pages.

Tips for the best result

  • Trim to the exact shot before uploading. At 119 credits a second, every second you cut is credits saved.
  • Good, even light on the person and a background that isn't the same color as their clothes give the cleanest cut.
  • Hair, fast hand movements and motion blur are the hardest parts; slower movement gives cleaner edges.
  • One clear main person works best. In a crowded shot, people you wanted removed may be kept.
  • Some players show transparency as black. If your app can't read transparent WebM, choose Green screen.
  • If you only need a still frame or a thumbnail, the photo Background Remover costs 20 credits per image.

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove the background from a video without a green screen?

Yes. The AI separates the person from the background in every frame, so you can film anywhere.

How much does it cost to remove a video background?

119 credits per second, rounded up to the next full second. A 10-second clip costs 1,190 credits and a 30-second clip 3,570.

How long can the video be?

Up to 30 seconds, as an MP4, MOV or WEBM. Trim longer videos to the shot you need first.

What format is the transparent video?

WebM. Green screen, White and Black come back as MP4.

Is the sound kept?

Yes. The audio from your upload stays on the result.

Why does my transparent video show a black background?

Your player or app doesn't show transparency. Open the WebM in an editor that supports transparent WebM, or run the clip with Green screen.

Does it work with pets or products?

It works best with a person as the main subject. Pets and products can work when they stand out clearly from the background.

Can I add my own background image?

Not in this tool. Choose Transparent or Green screen, then put your own background behind the cut-out in an editor.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Sign in with Google or email; each job costs credits from your balance, and the result is saved in My Videos.

What if a job fails?

If a job can't finish, the credits it used go back to your balance automatically.
