The short answer
VideoBackgroundAI is a video background remover that works entirely online. The free video background remover runs in your browser: your clip never leaves your device, there is no sign up and no watermark, and it can also act as a video background changer by putting a colour, a green screen or a picture behind you. For transparent files or busier footage, the HD option processes the video on our servers and returns a transparent WebM or MOV. It costs one credit per second of video, with up to 30 seconds per video; Starter, 2 minutes is $4.99 and Creator, 10 minutes is $14.99. It is not a subscription, and it is not affiliated with any app or platform.

How it works
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.
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.
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.
Download
Free results download straight from your browser. HD results appear on this page and in My Creations and are kept for 6 days.
Using your transparent video
Only upload footage you own or have permission to use. Do not upload videos of people who have not agreed, or anything the Acceptable Use Policy does not allow. Uploaded videos are checked by an automated moderation service.
Put it into your editor
- Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, After Effects: choose MOV (ProRes 4444) and place it on a track above your new background.
- Web pages and browser editors: choose WebM. It keeps transparency in Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
- Want a ready-made background instead? Use the free in-browser version and pick a colour, a green screen or a picture.
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.

Questions and answers
Is the video background remover really free?
Yes. The free version runs in your browser with no sign up and no watermark, for clips up to 30 seconds. It is fastest in a browser with WebGPU, such as a recent Chrome or Edge on a computer; other browsers use a slower mode. The HD option on our servers costs one credit per second of video.
Can I change the background instead of removing it?
Yes. In the free version you can put a solid colour, a green screen or your own picture behind the subject and download an MP4. The HD option returns a transparent video that you can place over any background in your editor.
What formats do I get?
The free version saves an MP4 (H.264) with the background you chose, made in your browser, without sound. The HD option returns a transparent WebM (VP9) or a transparent MOV (ProRes 4444). MP4 cannot hold transparency.
How much does the HD option cost?
One credit per second of video, rounded up per started second. Starter, 2 minutes is $4.99 and Creator, 10 minutes is $14.99. Both are one-off payments, not a subscription.
How long can my video be?
Up to 30 seconds and 95 MB per video, as MP4 or MOV. Trim longer clips first.
Do I need an account?
Not for the free version. For the HD option you sign in with Google before you buy credits and before your video is uploaded.
What happens to my video?
The free version never uploads your video. For the HD option, your video is uploaded privately when you press the button, checked by an automated moderation service, and deleted within 24 hours. HD results are kept for 6 days and you can delete them earlier.
Why are some edges wrong?
Results are best when one clear subject stands out from the background. Fast motion, motion blur, hair against a similar colour and people far behind the subject are harder, and some may be cut out. Try the free in-browser version first to see how your clip looks.
What if a job fails?
If a job fails on our side, the credits it reserved go back to your balance automatically. A video rejected by our content safety check before processing also gets its credits back. If a result is unknown, we hold the credits for up to 24 hours while we check it and never send the same job twice. Credits return to your balance; we do not refund cash for a failed job.
What is your refund policy?
Background removal is automatic and edges can vary, especially with fast motion, busy backgrounds or people far behind the main subject. A finished result is not refunded or redone because you are not happy with it, or because you changed your mind. A pack you have not used at all is fully refundable within 7 days of purchase. Once any credits from a pack are used, it is not refundable and the remaining seconds stay in your account. Duplicate or wrong charges are refunded within 30 days. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
