Video Background Remover — cut a subject out without a green screen

Cut a subject out of moving footage without a green screen. Upload a clip and get a clean transparent cutout you can place over a new background, a brand color or a fresh scene — no keying, no tape on the wall, no even lighting to set up.

Green-screen results without the green screen

Traditional keying needs a physical green backdrop and even lighting. AI video matting separates the subject from whatever is actually behind them, frame by frame, so you can shoot anywhere and still drop the person or product onto a clean background in post. That means a phone clip filmed in a normal room can end up looking like it was shot in a studio.

Nearby tools that pair with it

Video matting rarely stands alone: the image background remover cuts out stills, and the in-browser editor removes the background on a selected clip as a per-clip AI action when you are already assembling a timeline. Use this page for a fast one-off video cutout, and reach for the editor when the cutout is one step in a larger edit.

A simple one-click flow

The workflow matches the rest of the AI lane: drag in a clip, preview it privately, sign in, spend credits only when the run succeeds, and download the cutout. There is no complicated masking timeline to learn — the model does the separation and hands you back a clean transparent result ready to composite. Because the cutout ships as a transparent file, you can drop it straight onto a new backdrop in any editor without keying it a second time: the heavy matting work is done once, up front, and the file you download is ready to use as it is.

From clip to cutout, in a few steps

Upload a clip, run the AI, and download the subject cut out cleanly across every frame on transparency.

Step 1

Upload your clip

Drag in a video file and preview it privately, just like the other live tools.

Step 2

Sign in to run

Video matting is a heavier operation, so a run uses credits and needs a free account.

Step 3

AI separates the subject

The model cuts the subject from the background across the whole clip.

Step 4

Download the cutout

Download a clean transparent cutout ready to composite onto any new background.

Shoot anywhere

Video matting removes the need for a physical green screen.

The AI handles the separation from whatever was actually behind the subject.

Consistent across frames

A good video cutout holds steady as the subject moves.

The matting model tracks the subject frame to frame so the edges stay clean.

Composite freely

With the background gone you can place the subject over a brand color, a location plate or a fresh scene.

Transparent output

The cutout downloads as a transparent WebM, so you can drop it straight onto any backdrop.

No baked-in background to key out again.

Same simple flow

It follows the same upload, run and download pattern as every other AI tool here.

Pay only for results

Like the other live tools, it spends credits only on a successful run and refunds a failure.
