What is free, exactly
There are two free options and one paid one. Here is the full picture, with no small print:
| Free 5-second AI preview | Free GIF colour key | Paid credits | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | AI cut-out of the first 5 seconds of any video | Removes one plain background colour from a GIF | AI cut-out of the whole clip |
| How often | Once per person | Unlimited | As many credits as you buy |
| Sign-up | Google or email code | None | Optional (guest checkout) |
| Resolution | Original | Original | Original |
| Watermark | Small corner watermark | None | None |
| Download | Once, available for 2 days | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Where it runs | Our AI servers | In your browser | Our AI servers |
Upload the full video, we process the first 5 seconds
You do not have to cut a test clip first. Upload the video you actually want to use, up to 60 seconds, and the free preview takes its first 5 seconds. That way you judge the result on your real footage: your lighting, your hair, your hands and your background.
If the subject only appears later in the clip, trim it so it is on screen in the first 5 seconds before uploading.
Full resolution, so you can judge the edges
The free preview is not downscaled. Fine hair, fingers and motion are where background removal succeeds or fails, and you can only see that at the original size. The result keeps the frame size and the audio of your upload.
Download it and test the alpha in your editor
The free result is a real file, not just a preview on the page: transparent WebM, ProRes 4444 MOV or MP4. Drop it into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, OBS or a web page and check that the transparency works where you need it. A small corner watermark marks it as a free preview; paid results have no watermark.
Truly free and unlimited: the GIF colour key
For animated GIFs on a plain white, black or single-colour background, the GIF background remover has a colour-key mode that runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed and there is no limit: after a quick human check you can process as many GIFs as you like, with no watermark.
When you need the paid version
For the whole clip without a watermark, use credits: one credit per second of video, sold in one-time packs from $9.90 for 60 seconds, with no subscription and credits that never expire. See pricing.
Free previews are limited per day to keep the service sustainable. If today's free previews are used up, the paid option still works and the free preview opens again the next day.
