Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): This tool removes the background from a video and cuts objects out of photos for free, entirely on your device: the file is never uploaded, no tokens are spent and there is no paid API. For video the person is separated from the background by segmentation running in your browser; for a photo you pick the object with a click. The result can be a transparent WebM video, a green or blue screen, a custom colour, or your own image or video as the background.
It solves two tasks. First, remove the background from a video: the person stays and the background becomes transparent or is replaced. Second, cut an object out of a photo: you click the object you need and the mask is built for exactly that object.
This is not generation and not an AI redraw of the frame: the tool honestly separates the object from the background with a mask and puts behind it whatever you chose. The result is predictable — faces, clothes and text stay exactly as they were in the source.
The file is not sent to our server or to anyone else. Video is processed by segmentation running right in the browser, and a photo is processed by an object-cutout model that is also loaded into the browser. Model weights are downloaded once and then taken from the browser cache, and the computation runs on your GPU; if it is unavailable, a CPU fallback kicks in — slower, but it works everywhere.
No tokens are charged for this tool: there is no paid request at all. That is why it is free — your device does the work, not our server.
For video the tool removes the background of a person: segmentation finds the person in every frame and separates them from the surroundings. No clicking is needed — the mask is built automatically across the whole clip.
An honest limitation: there is no arbitrary-object tracking across a whole video here. That mode needs a heavy video model that does not run in a browser today, and we will not stand up a server for it. If you need to cut out a thing rather than a person, use a photo — object selection by click works there.
A photo has two modes. "Person" is the same automatic person separation as in video. "Object by click" lets you click the object you need and the mask is built for it: a car, a product, an animal, anything.
You can click again: the tool rebuilds the mask around the new point. If you do not click at all, the object is taken from the centre of the frame.
Five background options. Transparent is saved as a WebM video with an alpha channel — that file goes on top of any layer in editing. Green and blue are the classic chroma key for studios and editing software. Custom colour is any shade from the picker. Your own image or video is placed behind the subject and scaled to fill the frame without distortion.
A photo is downloaded as a PNG with transparency, a video as WebM or MP4. Only WebM supports transparency: MP4 has no alpha channel, so for a transparent background the tool picks WebM itself.
Speed depends on the length of the clip and the power of your device: frames are processed one by one, so a minute of video may take several minutes on a weak laptop. Progress is visible while it runs, and the finished frame appears in the preview right away — you do not have to wait for the whole file. A long run can be cancelled.
You need a modern browser — Chrome or Edge. Start with a short clip: see how the tool behaves on your video, and only then take a longer file.
For video, the best footage shows a well-lit person who does not blend into the background: a plain wall, a street, a studio. Fast motion and a blurry background make the job harder — the mask may jitter along the edge.
For a photo, click the object itself rather than its edge: a point inside the subject gives the most accurate mask. If the object came out incomplete, click again on another part of it.
Yes. The models are loaded into your browser and the computation runs on your device. Neither the video, nor the photo, nor the background file is sent anywhere.
Nothing. No tokens are charged: the tool has no paid request, your device does the work.
No. For video the tool removes the background of a person. Cutting an arbitrary object by click is available for photos.
Only WebM supports transparency (an alpha channel). MP4 does not, so for a transparent background the tool saves WebM.
The tool will tell you. Check that the person is fully visible and well lit, or try another video.
