CutoutVideo — Online Video Background Remover
CutoutVideo is a single-purpose web utility that removes backgrounds from video clips (MP4, WebM, MOV). Upload a video and download two files: a transparent WebM with an alpha channel for video editors, and a green-screen MP4 for apps without alpha support. Free clips up to 60 seconds work with no account required.
How CutoutVideo uses Google Sign-In
You can use the 60-second free beta without signing in. Google Sign-In is optional and used solely to identify your account (email address and display name via openid, email, and profile scopes) so you can purchase and spend non-expiring video processing credits for longer clips (up to 180s / 1080p). CutoutVideo never accesses your Google Drive, Gmail, Contacts, or other Google data.
What you get
| File | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Transparent video (.webm) | The background is simply gone. Drop it over any new background in CapCut, Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci or OBS. |
| Green-screen video (.mp4) | For apps that can't handle transparency: background is plain green, remove it with the built-in "green screen" button in CapCut or Premiere. |
Why we exist
Unscreen — the tool that invented one-click video background removal — was shut down by Canva in December 2025. Remove.bg follows on December 1, 2026. Canva's built-in replacement exports MP4 only: no transparency, no way to fix a wrong cut, and batch work requires a Canva Pro subscription.
If you need the background gone — not swapped inside somebody's editor — that's the only thing we do.
Good to know
- Your file stays yours. Everything is deleted within 24 hours; we never train on your videos.
- Edges stay steady. We follow your subject through every frame, so outlines don't flicker the way frame-by-frame tools do.
- Sound comes back. Your original audio is kept in the downloaded files.
- Works best on people. Single person or a clear main subject cuts cleanest; crowded scenes with many moving people are harder (we're honest about that).
