How to remove background from video in 3 steps

01
Upload your clip
Drop an MP4, MOV, WebM or GIF up to 60 seconds and 200 MB. You see the length and the credit cost right away.
02
Pick a download format
Transparent WebM for the web, ProRes 4444 MOV for editors, a transparent GIF, or a green screen MP4.
03
Download the result
AI finds the subject in every frame and removes the background. Download the file when it is ready, with the sound of the original.

Works with every format you actually export

Already shot against a green screen? The free green screen remover keys it locally in your browser, with no credits and no upload.

A video with a transparent background only works if the file can carry an alpha channel and your app can read it. Pick the download for where the clip is going:

Download	Transparency	Best for	Good to know
Transparent WebM (VP9)	Yes, real alpha channel	Web pages, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, OBS Studio	Small files. Safari plays WebM without the transparency.
ProRes 4444 MOV	Yes, real alpha channel	Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects	Large files, built for editing. Best quality for compositing.
Transparent GIF	Yes, on/off per pixel	Stickers, chat apps, slides, websites	No sound and 256 colours. See the GIF background remover.
Green screen MP4	No, pure #00FF00 background	Any editor with a chroma key, phone apps	Plays everywhere. Key out the green in your editor.

Audio stays intact

Removing the background does not touch the soundtrack. The WebM, MOV and MP4 downloads keep the audio of your original clip, so a talking-head video stays in sync with its voice. GIF is the only format without sound, because GIF files cannot hold audio.

Built for six real use cases

Talking-head and webcam videos

Take yourself out of a messy room and drop yourself onto slides, a brand colour or a new background.

Product and e-commerce ads

Isolate a product shot and place it on white for a marketplace listing or on any scene for an ad.

Online course recordings

Put the teacher next to the lesson content instead of in front of a wall.

Pet and animal memes

Cut out a cat or dog and turn it into a transparent GIF sticker.

Green screen compositing

No green screen at the shoot? Export a green screen MP4 and composite in the editor you already use.

Transparent assets for editors

Export ProRes 4444 MOV and layer the subject over titles, B-roll or motion graphics.

No green screen, no manual masking

A chroma key removes one colour, so it needs a green or blue backdrop and even lighting. AI matting works the other way round: the model recognises the subject, whether it is a person, a pet or a product, and separates it from whatever is behind it, frame by frame. You do not draw masks or track anything by hand.

It works best when the subject is clearly in front of the background. Fine flyaway hair can come out softer than in the original, and things you can see through, such as smoke or glass, are usually removed with the background.

Should I use this tool or keep working in my editor?

Use this tool when you need a separate processed file and one-time credits fit your workflow. If you already edit in another app, its built-in tools may be more convenient. Compare the exact export and plan you need in the Unscreen alternatives guide, with links to official provider documentation.

We have not published a measured winner for hair, speed or motion. Review the test methodology and pending results before treating a quality claim as evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove a background from a video?

Yes. Upload a clip up to 60 seconds and the AI removes the background from every frame. You do not need a green screen or any editing software.

How can I remove the background from a video for free?

Upload your full clip and the AI removes the background from its first 5 seconds free, once per person (Google or email sign-in), at original resolution with one watermarked download. See the free video background remover. GIFs on a plain background can be keyed out free and without limits by the GIF colour key, with no sign-up.

How do I remove the background of a video on iPhone?

Open this page in Safari, tap the upload box and pick the clip from Photos. Choose green screen MP4 or GIF if you want to preview it on the phone, because Safari does not show WebM transparency.

Is CapCut background remover free?

CapCut includes background removal inside its editor, with features that depend on your plan. This tool is separate: it gives you a transparent file you can use in any app, and you pay per second instead of a subscription.

Can I remove the full video background online for free?

The first 5 seconds of a clip are free once per person, at full resolution with a corner watermark. The full clip is paid per second (from $4.90 for 100 credits (duration depends on quality and frame rate), no subscription), and every frame is processed, not just one image.

Can I remove the background without a watermark?

Paid downloads have no watermark, and neither does the free GIF colour key. The one-time 5-second free AI preview has a small corner watermark.

Does removing the background also remove the audio?

No. WebM, MOV and MP4 downloads keep the original audio. Only GIF has no sound, because the format cannot store it.

What video formats do you support?

You can upload MP4, MOV, WebM and animated GIF. You can download transparent WebM, ProRes 4444 MOV, transparent GIF or an MP4 on a solid colour.

What is the maximum video length and file size?

Up to 60 seconds and 200 MB per clip. Trim longer videos into parts first.

Does it work on videos that are already recorded?

Yes. It works on any recorded clip, from a phone, a webcam, a screen recording or an AI video generator.

Do I need a green screen?

No. The AI separates the subject from any background. If you did shoot on green, it works too.

How accurate is the cut-out on hair and fingers?

Inspect hands and hair on your own clip. Fine hair can soften, motion can cause flicker, and low-contrast edges can be lost. We have not published a benchmark establishing the best model for hair.

Can I export a video with a transparent background?

Yes. Transparent WebM and ProRes 4444 MOV carry a real alpha channel. GIF supports transparency too, with hard edges.

Can I download a MOV with an alpha channel for Premiere Pro?

Yes. Pick ProRes 4444 MOV. Verify the alpha in your exact editor version using the transparent video import guide.

Is my video uploaded to your servers?

Yes. The clip is processed in the cloud by our AI provider and is only used to make your result. It is never public or shared.

How long does processing take?

Usually a few minutes for a short clip. Longer and higher-resolution clips take longer.

Can I process several videos at once?

Start one clip, then start the next one in a new tab. Every result is saved in My videos.

What is the difference between this and Unscreen?

Unscreen.com now redirects to Canva, so it is no longer a separate tool. This site gives you the same kind of upload-and-download workflow, with WebM, ProRes MOV, GIF and MP4 outputs and pay-per-second credits.

What happens to my credits if I do not use them?

Nothing. Credits never expire. If a job fails, its credits go back to your balance.

Is there a free trial?

Yes: the first 5 seconds of your clip, free once per person, at original resolution with one watermarked download (Google or email sign-in, plus a quick human check). Deleting an account does not reset it, and free previews pause when the daily limit is reached. Details on the free video background remover.
