Unscreen Alternatives in 2026

Unscreen.com now redirects to Canva's video background remover (checked October 2026), so the standalone Unscreen tool is no longer available as it was. The main alternatives are a dedicated online AI remover such as this site (pay per second, transparent WebM/ProRes/GIF downloads), Canva's background remover inside Canva's paid plans, CapCut's in-editor background removal, or filming on a green screen and keying it in a video editor.

What happened to Unscreen?

Unscreen was a browser tool that removed the background from short videos and GIFs without a green screen. When we checked in October 2026, visiting unscreen.com redirected to Canva's video background remover. That means the workflow is now tied to Canva rather than a standalone upload-and-download page. Details can change, so check the sites directly for the current situation.

What did people use Unscreen for?

Most Unscreen users wanted one of a few things:

• A quick cut-out without a green screen from an ordinary phone or webcam clip.
• Transparent GIFs for stickers, reactions and chat.
• A transparent or green-screen video to drop into an editor or OBS.
• A new background behind a person, such as a solid colour or an image.
• No software install: everything in the browser.

Any replacement should be judged on those jobs: does it work without a backdrop, which formats can you download, does it keep audio, and how is it priced.

What are the best Unscreen alternatives?

This site: removebackgroundfromvideo.org

A standalone video background remover built for the same upload-process-download workflow.

• Input: MP4, MOV, WebM or animated GIF, up to 60 seconds and 50 MB.
• How it works: an AI model (Bria Video Background Removal v3) removes the background from every frame. No green screen needed.
• Downloads: transparent WebM (VP9 alpha), ProRes 4444 MOV, transparent GIF, or MP4 on a solid colour, including green screen #00FF00.
• Audio: kept in every format except GIF.
• Pricing: 1 credit = 1 second. One-time packs: $9.90 for 60 s, $29.90 for 240 s, $79.90 for 720 s, $199.90 for 2000 s. No subscription, credits never expire, no watermark, failed jobs are refunded automatically. Apple Pay is supported at checkout. See pricing.
• Extra tools: change video background (white, a colour or your own image), blur video background and a GIF background remover.
• Limits: there is no free tier for AI removal. The only free option is the GIF colour-key mode, which runs in your browser and suits plain backgrounds.

Best for: people who want a file out (for an editor, website, OBS or chat) and prefer to pay per use rather than subscribe.

Canva

Canva's video background remover is the tool unscreen.com points to now. It works inside Canva's editor, so the cut-out is used in Canva designs, presentations and social posts. Background removal is part of Canva's paid plans. Plan names, prices, and export options for transparent video change over time, so check Canva's site for current plans.

Best for: people who already design in Canva and want the cut-out inside a Canva project.

CapCut

CapCut, the video editor available on mobile, desktop and the web, includes background removal inside its editor. You remove the background on a clip in the timeline and keep editing there. Which features are free or paid, and which export formats are available, vary by platform and change over time, so check CapCut's site for current plans.

Best for: short-form social video edited end to end in CapCut.

Green screen + chroma key in an editor

The manual method: film in front of a green or blue screen with even lighting, then use a chroma keyer. Premiere Pro (Ultra Key), Final Cut Pro (Keyer), DaVinci Resolve (Delta Keyer) and OBS Studio (Chroma Key filter) all include one. Free editors such as DaVinci Resolve's free version and OBS make this cost nothing beyond the backdrop.

Best for: planned shoots, long videos and anyone who wants full control and no per-second cost. It does not help with footage that was already filmed without a green screen.

How do I choose?

• You need a transparent file for another tool (Premiere, Resolve, a website, OBS): pick an option that downloads WebM or ProRes 4444. Our guide on transparent video formats explains which one.
• You live in Canva or CapCut already: use their built-in remover and stay in one app.
• You can control the shoot: a green screen and a keyer is the cheapest and most precise route.
• You want a sticker or reaction GIF: see how to make a transparent GIF from a video.
