What it does

The tool detects the subject on every frame, without a green screen, and removes what is behind it. You can replace the background with a colour, a blur, a green background, your own image or video, or export it transparent (a ProRes .mov file for video, a PNG for a photo) for your editing software. Photos work too.

How to use it

  1. Open Background removal and upload a video or a photo.
  2. Choose the new background, or transparent.
  3. Launch, then download.

Common problems

Hair edges shimmer. Results are best on a sharp, well-lit subject clearly separated from the background. Very fine hair or a background close in colour to the subject stays harder.

The transparent video looks black in my player. Transparency is read by editing software (Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro), not by most players.

My video is refused. Background removal accepts short videos: check the table above.
