Don’t have a green screen? That’s okay. Kapwing’s video background remover still works great. And if you do shoot video with a green screen, try the chroma keying feature that easily removes green—or any background color you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make a video background transparent?

Kapwing’s video background remover automatically makes your video background transparent so you can layer a new photo or video background behind your main video if you want. Otherwise, it will appear white. To make a transparent background, click “Remove Background” in the Effects tab, and it’s a done deal!

What is the AI tool to remove background from video?

Kapwing offers a video background removal tool that uses AI to separate the main focus of the video from the background. While Kapwing’s background removal tool works best on a single person, you can use it on any of your videos or our available stock footage.

How can I replace the background of a video?

Automatically remove video background with our one click tool. Then, replace the original background by uploading a file or choosing an asset from our massive library of royalty-free images.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.

As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.

As a English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
