Background Remover for Long Videos

No, our tool is built to be as easy as possible, even for long videos.

Upload your MP4, MOV, or WebM file in one click, up to 3 hours long, and let our AI video background remover do the rest.

It automatically detects the main subject and removes the background for the entire duration, no green screen, no manual process.

Once done, preview your result instantly, and download it if you're happy.

There's no need to mask frames or adjust filters. It's a true one-step process that works even with long-form content like webinars, interviews, or lectures.

Learn more about how our AI works.

When processing long videos, consistency is key. Here's why our tool excels:

1. Stable AI Detection: Our AI is trained to maintain accurate subject detection over long durations, avoiding flickering or lost tracking.
2. Flexible Pricing: You don't need a subscription. Buy minutes in bulk and use them as needed for your long-form content.
3. High-Resolution Support: Export your full-length videos in 1080p HD.
4. No Length Limits (with plans): While pay-as-you-go supports up to 3 hours, our API and custom plans can handle even longer files.

Other tools are often built for short social media clips and may struggle with the demands of hour-long footage. We're built for it.

Check our pricing page for bulk minute packages.

Processing time is generally about half the video's duration. For example, a 60-minute video will take around 30 minutes to process.

Longer or more complex clips (a lot of movement, fine details) may take a bit longer, but our AI is optimized for speed and accuracy on long-form content.

You can track progress in real-time after uploading and we'll email you when it's done.

We support the most common video file types, so you don't have to worry about converting your files.

• 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

You can upload videos up to 3 hours long. For anything longer, please contact us about our enterprise plans.

• Solid with logo - Brand recognition without distraction

For Marketing/Sales Webinars:

• Branded colors - Match your marketing materials
