Video Background Remover — Remove Background from Video Online

Remove the background from any video in a few clicks. Upload your clip, our AI separates the person or object from the background, and you download a video with a clean, transparent background. No green screen, no masking, no editing software.

How to remove the background from a video

1. Upload your video. Click or drop a file into the uploader above. MP4, MOV, M4V and GIF files are supported.

2. Let AI remove the background. The video background remover detects the main subject frame by frame and erases everything behind it.

3. Download the result. Save the video with a transparent background and use it in any editor, presentation or social post.

Why use an online video background remover

Cutting a subject out of a video used to mean a green screen studio, careful lighting and hours of rotoscoping. An AI video background remover does the same job automatically:

No green screen required. Film anywhere — at home, outdoors, in the office — and remove the background afterwards.
Works in the browser. Nothing to install: open the page, upload a video and remove the background online, on a computer or a phone. Prefer working from any tab? Use our Chrome extension.
Frame-accurate AI. The model tracks hair, hands and moving edges across every frame instead of a single keyframe.
Transparent output. Get a video with a transparent background that you can place over any scene, colour or image.

AI video background remover

The tool uses AI to find the person or object in every frame and delete the background around it automatically. You don’t select anything, draw masks or pick a key colour — upload the video, and the AI video background remover does the cutout for you.

What you can do with a video without a background

Content creators: put yourself over gameplay, slides or b-roll and make TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts stand out.
Marketers: cut products and presenters out of footage for ads, banners and product demos.
Educators: record lessons anywhere and place yourself over the lesson material.
Video editors: skip manual masking and get a clean cutout to finish in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut or Canva.

Remove black, white and other solid backgrounds

Footage shot on a black or white backdrop is handled the same way as any other video. Editors often suggest the Screen blend mode to hide a black background or a colour key to drop a white one, but these make the subject partly see-through, shift its colours or cut away light-coloured details. The AI separates the subject by shape and motion rather than by colour, so the subject stays solid and the backdrop disappears. Shot on a green or blue screen? See the green screen remover.

Supported formats: MP4, MOV, M4V and GIF

Upload MP4 files from phones, cameras and screen recorders, MOV files from iPhone and most editors, and M4V files, as well as animated GIFs — see the GIF background remover. Standard MP4 (H.264) cannot store transparency, so the result is exported in a format with an alpha channel — that is what keeps the background see-through when you place the video over another layer.

Tips for the best result

Use good, even lighting on the subject.
Keep clear contrast between the subject and the background.
Avoid heavy motion blur — a steady camera helps the AI keep sharp edges.
Higher-resolution source videos produce cleaner, more precise edges.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the background from a video?

Upload the video to the video background remover at the top of this page, wait while the AI processes it and download the result. There is no need to select the subject or draw masks — it is detected automatically.

How does the AI remove the background from a video?

The AI model detects the main subject — usually a person — on each frame, separates it from everything behind it and exports the result with a transparent background.

Can I remove a video background without a green screen?

Yes. The AI removes ordinary backgrounds — walls, rooms, outdoor scenes — so a green screen is not required. If you did film on a green screen, the tool removes it as well.

Can I remove a black or white background from a video?

Yes. Upload the video as usual — solid black and white backdrops are removed together with everything else behind the subject.

Is the video background remover free?

You can try it for free on 1 minute of video. After that, choose a pack of 10, 30 or 60 minutes on the pricing page.

Which video formats are supported?

You can upload MP4, MOV and M4V videos and animated GIFs. The output is a video with a transparent background.

Can I remove the background from a GIF?

Yes. Upload the GIF as it is — the AI removes the background on every frame. More on the GIF background remover page.

How long does it take?

Usually from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the length and resolution of the video.

Can I change or replace the background after removing it?

Yes — once you have a transparent video, put any new background under it in your video editor: a colour, an image, another video or a branded backdrop.

What can I use instead of Unscreen?

Unscreen closed in June 2026. This tool works the same way — upload a video and download it without the background. Read more about Unscreen alternatives.

Is there a browser extension?

Yes. Install the Video Background Remover Chrome extension to open the tool from any tab.
