No studio, no problem

I film tutorials from my apartment. The background was always a mess — bookshelves, laundry, cables. Now I just remove it all in one click. My viewers think I rent a studio.

Replaced our entire green screen workflow

We used to spend 30 minutes per shoot setting up a green screen with proper lighting. This tool does a better job from raw footage. We've completely ditched the physical screen.

Game changer for product videos

We shoot 50+ product clips a week. Being able to batch-remove backgrounds and export on white saves us hours of After Effects work. The edge quality on reflective products surprised me.

FAQ

Questions & answers

What is an AI video background remover?
An AI video background remover uses deep learning to detect the foreground subject in each frame of a video and separate it from the background. The result is a clean video with a transparent, green screen, or solid color background — no physical screen or manual editing required.
How do I remove the background from a video online?
Upload your video to Sunra's video background remover, select your desired background mode (transparent, green screen, white, or black), choose a quality tier, and click process. The AI handles everything automatically — download your result when it's ready.
Do I need a green screen to remove video backgrounds?
No. Sunra's AI works with any video footage — no green screen required. The AI detects and separates the subject from the background automatically, regardless of the original background color or complexity.
Is this video background remover free?
Yes. Every Sunra account gets free daily credits — no credit card required. Paid plans unlock higher volume, faster processing, and priority access.
What video formats are supported?
MP4, MOV (QuickTime), and WebM. Maximum duration is 30 seconds and maximum file size is 100 MB.
Can I get a transparent background video?
Yes. Select 'Transparent' as your background option. The output will have an alpha channel, making it ready for compositing in video editors like Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve. For still images, try Sunra's image background remover.
What background output options are available?
Four modes: Transparent (alpha channel for compositing), Green Screen (for chroma key workflows), White (for product videos and clean presentations), and Black (for dramatic effects and overlays).
Will removing the background affect video quality?
The 'Quality' processing tier preserves maximum detail. 'Balanced' offers a good tradeoff between speed and fidelity. 'Fast' is optimized for quick previews. All tiers maintain the original resolution.
How long does processing take?
Processing time depends on video length and quality tier. A 10-second clip typically processes in under a minute on the Balanced tier. Shorter clips and the Fast tier are even quicker.
Is my video data private and secure?
Uploaded videos are processed by our AI infrastructure and are not shared publicly. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling and retention.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. Sunra works entirely in the browser — no app install needed. Upload from your phone's camera roll and process videos on any modern mobile browser.
What is the difference between this and a physical green screen?
A physical green screen requires setup, proper lighting, and post-production chroma keying. AI background removal skips all of that — film anywhere with any background and remove it in post with a single upload. The AI handles edge detection, hair detail, and motion that would challenge traditional chroma key.
