What are the best tools for removing video backgrounds?
When comparing video background remover tools, here are the 4 key things to look for:
- AI Accuracy: Clean cutouts, even with motion, hair, or complex backgrounds
- Custom Background Options: Replace with colors, images, or no background.
- Flexible Pricing: No subscription required, pay only for what you need
- Full-Length Support: Can handle long videos, not just short clips or previews
Most tools (like Runway, Unscreen, Cutout, Veed…) include background remover as a feature, but often limit export options, video length, or require a paid plan.
VideoBGRemover is different:
✅ Built on a specialized AI model, trained for full-video processing
✅ Supports up to 2 hours per video in Full HD
✅ Offers transparent export and custom background replacement
✅ 100% online, no app, no subscription, from $0.50/minute (2 times cheaper than competitors)
We're focused on one thing only: background remover and we do it better, faster, and cheaper than general-purpose tools.
How does AI enhance video background removal?
Our AI analyzes your video frame by frame, identifying the subject and removing the background, even with motion, shadows, or low contrast.
Unlike filters or manual tools, it delivers consistent and clean cutouts, while keeping quality and frame rate intact.
The result? A high-quality output, even on complex scenes with motion, shadows, or fine details like hair.

It's trusted by content creators who need a fast and clean process, even with motion, shadows, or face videos
What video formats are supported for background removal?
No need to convert or compress, just submit the video and let our tool handle the rest.
You can download the videos in the most common formats:
- MP4: the most widely used format for web and mobile videos
- MOV: popular for Apple devices and high-quality recordings
- WebM: optimized for online use
Output options:
- MP4: for standard videos
- WebM: for transparent backgrounds and overlays
Which video output formats are available, especially for transparency?
After our AI processes your video, you can download it in multiple formats. The usual format is MP4, which works on almost all devices and keeps a good balance of quality and file size.
For transparent backgrounds, you can choose from three professional formats:
- PNG Sequences (.zip) - Highest quality for frame-by-frame editing
- WebM VP9 Alpha (.webm) - Web-optimized with smaller file sizes
- MOV ProRes 4444 (.mov) - Professional grade for video editors
All transparent formats have a truly see-through background, making them perfect for overlays and advanced editing.
How long does it take to remove the background from a video?
We know your time is important. How long it takes to remove a video background can change based on the video's length and how complex it is. But, our AI is made to be fast and accurate. For most short videos (a few minutes long), the background removal should only take a few minutes. Longer videos might take a bit more time, but we're always working to make it faster.
Can I preview video background removal before purchasing?
We want you to see how good our AI video background remover is. AI processing costs money, so we can't offer unlimited free use. However, you can try our service by buying a small, low-cost credit package. This lets you process a video and check the quality for yourself. This way, you can see if VideoBGRemover is right for you before spending more.
Can your tool also remove green screen backgrounds?
Yes, it can! A great thing about our tool is that it works without a green screen. But, it also works very well for videos made with a green screen (or blue screen). If you upload a video with a green screen, our AI will remove the green background cleanly. So, our tool is useful for all of kinds of videos.
Is this video background remover accessible on iPhone or Android?
VideoBGRemover is a website tool. That means you don't need to download a special app. You can use it right from the web browser on your iPhone, Android phone, tablet (like an iPad), or any computer (Windows, Mac, etc.). If you have internet and a web browser (like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox), you can use our service from almost anywhere.
