Video Background Remover is an online AI tool that removes backgrounds from video clips without requiring a green screen or manual masking. It accepts MP4, MOV, and WebM uploads up to 4K resolution and 100MB file size, and exports transparent alpha channels in WebM (VP9) or PNG sequences, or an MP4 with a replaced background.
