Backgrounds

Pick a background, see it on your video right away

On the result screen your clip plays on top of the background you tap, so you can try ten in a minute. To change video background color, tap a solid swatch; to replace video background with a picture, pick a photo or add your own. Nothing is uploaded while you try.

Placement

Put yourself where you want in the frame

A new background rarely lines up with where you stood. Drag yourself in the preview to move, and use the size slider to scale — from a small corner picture to filling the frame.

The position is kept for the whole clip, so the download matches the preview exactly. Reset puts you back where you were filmed.

Landscape and vertical both work. A vertical phone clip on a landscape photo is placed in the middle, and you can slide it to one side to leave room for text. You don't need a full video background editor or a timeline for this: drag, resize, done.

Looking natural

Make the new background believable

A video background change looks fake for three reasons: the light doesn't match, the person is the wrong size for the room, or the edge has a halo. You can fix the first two in a few seconds, and an AI video background changer handles the edge in the HD cut, though it's worth checking.

Match the light. If you were filmed by a window on your left, pick a photo that is brighter on the left too. Warm indoor light sits best on warm photos and cream or beige colors; daylight sits best on cool, bright scenes.

Get the scale right. A head-and-shoulders shot in front of a whole living room looks like a giant. Scale yourself down and move a little off-center, or pick a close background like a wall or a bookshelf.

Check the edge. Judge the hair on the HD file, not the quick preview — the preview in your browser has simplified edges. Get the free first 5 seconds in HD and look at it on plain white and on plain black. If the hair looks clean on both, it will look clean on any photo.

Solid colors and soft gradients are the safest choice for talking-head videos: there is no lighting to match, and they keep attention on you.

Uses

What people change backgrounds for

Calls and recorded meetings

Live call apps blur or replace your background in real time, but recordings made outside them keep your messy room. Change background in video recordings — an update, a lesson, a course video — before you send them.

Product demos

Replace background in video demos with plain white or your brand color, so your product looks like it was shot in a studio.

Short videos

Put yourself in front of a photo, a gradient or a screenshot for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Vertical clips come back vertical, at 1080×1920.

How it works

Replace video background in three steps

  1. Upload your video

    MP4, MOV, WebM and most phone formats, up to 5 minutes and 500 MB. Longer ones: pick the part you need.

  2. Choose a background

    Pick a color, gradient, or photo, or upload your own image. Drag and resize the subject to position them. Use the free browser preview to watch a quick cutout of the whole clip.

  3. Download the MP4

    Sign in with email or Google for the first 5 seconds in HD free once a day, or use credits for the full clip. Both keep the original sound and are watermark-free.

Only want the background gone? The video background remover is the general tool. Need the person with no background at all, to place in your own editor? Get a transparent video instead. Filmed on a green screen? The green screen remover also cleans the green off the edges.

Pricing

Try every background free, pay for the download

Previews are free and unlimited, so you can try the video background changer free with every color and photo. Want to change video background free in HD? The first 5 seconds are free once a day. A 30-second video uses 60 credits when you download it in full. Packs start at $9.90 for 240 credits and never expire; failed jobs aren't charged. See all packs.

FAQ

Background changer questions

Can I use my own picture as the background?

Yes. Tap + in the background library and choose a JPG, PNG or WebP. It's shown in the preview right away and only uploaded with your video when you download.

Does the background stretch to fit?

It fills the frame without stretching, cropped from the center. Your video keeps its own shape: vertical stays vertical, landscape stays landscape.

Does it keep the sound?

Yes. The MP4 has the original audio.

Can I make the background blurry instead?

Choose a solid color, gradient, photo, or your own image. For a blurred background, upload an image you've already blurred.

What resolution is the download?

Up to 1080p — 1920×1080 for landscape, 1080×1920 for vertical. Smaller videos keep their size; 4K uploads come back at 1080p.

Is there a watermark?

No, on neither the free 5 seconds nor the full download.

Can I change the background later without paying again?

Yes, for 7 days. After your download is done you can export the same clip with another background without using more credits. You can also compare backgrounds in the free preview first.

Is there a video background changer app?

You don't need a video background changer app. You change video background online in your browser, on a phone or a computer: upload, pick a background, download the MP4. Nothing to install: it works in the browser on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows.

How do I add background to video shot against a plain wall?

The same way: upload it, and the wall is removed and replaced with the color, photo or image you pick. A plain wall is the easiest case.

How to change video background without green screen?

Upload the clip as it is. The AI finds you in every frame and cuts you out of the room you filmed in, so in most rooms you don't need a green screen, a plain wall or special lighting. Pick a new background, check it in the free preview, and download the MP4. Even, soft light on your face gives the cleanest edge.
