Remove background from video, keep the person.
Upload a clip and describe the backdrop you want. The video background remover takes out everything behind your subject and drops in an office, a beach or a plain studio wall, while the person on camera stays exactly as filmed. No green screen.
What it is
Remove or replace a video background without a green screen.
Replacing a background used to need green fabric, even lighting and careful keying. Here the AI separates the subject from the scene on its own, holds that edge through hair and movement, and drops in the background you described.
How it works
Your result in three steps
Upload your video
Any clip with you or your subject in frame. Even lighting makes the edge cleaner.
Describe the new background
Type it out: modern office with big windows, sunset beach, plain gray studio wall.
Generate & download
Check the edges, adjust the description if the scene isn't right, then download the finished clip.
Clean edges
Hair and hands stay sharp
The outline is the hard part of any video background remover. This one holds the edge around hair, glasses and moving hands instead of chewing into them.
- Handles hair and fine detail
- Stable edge while you move
- No halo around the subject

One take, many cuts
Same recording, different settings
Record once and publish the same take against several backdrops — one for the client, one for social, one for the course page.

Is the video background changer free?+
Yes. Upload a clip and replace the background for free, with no credit card.
Do I need a green screen?+
No. The AI separates the subject from the scene on ordinary footage, shot in any room.
What if I move around a lot?+
Movement is handled. Keep the subject fully in frame and well lit for the cleanest edge.

More answers
More about video backgrounds
Can it just remove the background instead of replacing it?+
Describe a plain surface — "solid white wall" or "flat green backdrop" — and you get a clean base to key or composite yourself.
Does it work with more than one person in frame?+
Yes, as long as everyone is clearly visible. Subjects overlapping at the edge of frame are the hardest case.
Will the lighting look wrong?+
The new background is toned to sit with your subject. Mention the light you want — "warm evening light" — to steer it further.
Can I use it during a live video call?+
No. This works on recorded clips: you upload a file and download the edited version. It doesn't run live in a meeting.
Remove the background, keep the shot.
Upload a clip, describe the background you want, and download it in minutes — no green screen needed.
