Video background remover
Remove the background from any video. No green screen.
Blur it, swap it for an image or another clip, or drop in a plain color. Runs in your browser, your video never gets uploaded.
What you can put behind you
Blur
Soft background blur like a portrait mode shot. Turn on Depth-aware and things further away get blurrier than things close to you.
Image or video
Drop in a photo or a clip and it plays behind you. Good for a studio backdrop, a city at night, or b-roll behind a talking head.
Color or gradient
A flat color or a linear or radial gradient. Clean look for product demos and explainer videos.
Color splash
The background goes black and white while you stay in color. Or flip it so the subject is the black and white one.
Styles
Watercolor, sketch or anime on the background only, so the person in front still looks like themselves.
How to do it
Takes about two minutes for a short clip.
- 01
Open the tool and add your clip
MP4, MOV and WebM all work, including vertical phone video. No account needed.
- 02
Turn on Background
The person in the middle of the frame gets picked up automatically and followed through the whole clip.
- 03
Click to pick someone else
If the wrong thing got selected, click the person you want. You can add more than one person too.
- 04
Choose what goes behind
Blur, an image, a video, a color, a gradient, color splash or a style. The preview updates as you change it.
- 05
Soften the edge and export
Raise Feather if the outline looks harsh, hair usually looks best around 4 or 5. Then export.
Once the background is sorted
Its the same editor as everything else, so you can keep going on the same clip. Put a title behind yourself, add auto captions if you talk in it, or grade the whole thing with a film look. It all exports as one video.
Common questions
Yes. Background removal is part of the free editor. Free exports are 1080p with a small v8eo.com watermark in the corner. Pro ($9.99/mo) exports in 4K without the watermark, or you can pay $2.99 once for a single video.
No. An AI segmentation model finds the person in normal footage, frame by frame. A plain background behind you still gives cleaner edges than a busy one.
No. The model runs in your browser on your own GPU, so the file stays on your computer the whole time.
Not right now. Exports are MP4, which has no transparency. You can put a solid color behind the person and key it out in another editor if you need that.
Yes. Click each person you want to keep and they are all tracked through the clip.
One or two people clearly in front of the background, decent light, and normal movement. It struggles more when clothes are the same color as the wall behind, with heavy motion blur, or in a crowd where people overlap.
