Background Removal
Remove the background from any video in seconds, no green screen required
Remove the background from any video automatically. No green screen, no rotoscoping, no frame-by-frame masking. Upload your footage and get a clean cutout in seconds.
Overview
Background Removal analyzes your video and isolates the subject on every frame. The result is a clean clip you can drop into any composition, template, or scene. It runs in the cloud, so there is no plugin, no After Effects, and no special filming setup.
It handles:
- Talking-head footage: product demos, tutorials, social clips, interviews
- Product shots: remove a cluttered background and keep the product
- Compositing sources: build layered video scenes without a studio
- Social content: place presenters over branded backgrounds, color fields, or b-roll
How to Use It
- Go to Video Tools.
- Choose Video to Video.
- Upload your footage and select the Background Removal model.
- Download the processed clip.
Short clips take seconds, longer footage takes a few minutes.
Built for Real Workflows
Background Removal is part of Kolbo's full video toolkit, so you can chain it with other tools in the same session:
- Remove the background, then reframe for different aspect ratios.
- Combine with Lipsync for presenter-over-scene videos.
- Use the output as a layer in the Video Editor for compositing.
Everything stays in one workspace, with no exporting and re-importing between tools.
Tips
- Footage with a clear subject and reasonable separation from the background produces the cleanest cutouts.
- Keep the subject in frame consistently for steady edges across the clip.
Who It Is For
- Content creators building talking-head videos without a studio.
- E-commerce teams shooting on any background and needing clean cutouts at scale.
- Marketing teams placing brand presenters over different environments.
- Agencies processing client footage quickly without manual masking.
