How it works

How it works

From your clip to a new background: the free version, the HD version, what you get, and what to know before you pay.

How it works

  1. Choose your video

    Pick an MP4 or MOV of up to 30 seconds and 95 MB. A short clip with one clear subject works best.

  2. Free in your browser, or HD on our servers

    The free version cuts out the subject on your own device, with no upload and no sign up. For crowds, handheld shots or fine edges, sign in and use the HD option: one credit per second, from $4.99.

  3. Pick a background or a format

    In the free version, put a solid colour, a green screen or your own picture behind the subject and download an MP4. The HD option returns a transparent WebM or MOV (ProRes 4444) for your editor.

  4. Download

    Free results download straight from your browser. HD results appear on this page and in My Creations and are kept for 6 days.

What you get

  • A transparent video you can edit

    WebM keeps transparency for the web and many editors. MOV (ProRes 4444) is for Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and After Effects.

  • Free, private, no sign up

    The free video background remover runs on your device, using WebGPU when your browser has it, and saves an MP4 with your new background. Nothing is uploaded and there is no watermark.

  • HD processing when you need it

    Server processing handles busier footage better than the free in-browser version. You pay only for the seconds you process: Starter, 2 minutes $4.99, Creator, 10 minutes $14.99.

  • Private files, short retention

    Uploaded videos are deleted within 24 hours. HD results are kept for 6 days and you can delete them earlier.

Tips for clean edges

  • One clear subject

    A person or object that stands out from the background gives the cleanest edges. People far behind the main subject may be cut out.

  • Steady, sharp footage

    Motion blur and very fast movement make edges harder. If the free version struggles, try the HD option.

  • Only use videos you have the right to use

    Upload your own footage or footage you have permission to use. Do not upload videos of people who have not agreed, or anything our Acceptable Use Policy does not allow.

Before you pay

  • Only charged for videos we deliver. Confirmed failures automatically return your credits.
  • Uploaded videos are deleted within 24 hours and HD results are kept for 6 days. You can delete a result earlier.
