On-device background removal

Photos and video.
Your background, gone.

Background Remover Video Photo removes backgrounds from photos and videos on your device, then exports transparent images and video. No upload is needed, so your source media stays with you while you create.

Features

Choose a source. Refine the background.

Remove more than green screens: white, black, and a picked color are all supported. Combine automatic detection with manual corrections to prepare transparent assets from both images and video.

01

All on your device

Your selected photos and video are processed locally. The app does not upload your source media to an external server.

02

Photos and video

Work with still images or video in one focused workflow for transparent assets.

03

Choose the key color

Remove green, white, black, or a color selected with the eyedropper to suit the background you have.

04

Refine the edges

Adjust tolerance, edge feathering, and despill. Use brush corrections for fine control of the final result.

Workflow

Transparent assets in three steps.

1

Choose your media

Select the photo or video you want to edit from your photo library or files.

2

Remove and refine

Use automatic detection or choose a background color, then make edge corrections with the brush when needed.

3

Export with transparency

Save photos as transparent PNG files and video as alpha-channel MOV files.
