Change a video background without a green screen

A green screen needs a cloth, even lighting, and space behind the performer. This tool skips all of that: the AI finds the subject in ordinary footage and redraws what is behind them from your description. Film a vocal take against a bedroom wall and move it to a stage, or put a dancer in front of a plain color. A subject that stands out clearly from the background gives the cleanest edge.

Is the video background remover free?

Only for a short test. A new web account starts with 20 credits, which pay for the first 2 seconds of a clip on the Fast tier at 720p (18 credits): choose First 2 seconds under Length. Each second of video costs 9 credits on Fast at 720p (7 at 480p), 20 on Standard at 720p, and 39 on Best at 1080p. Longer clips need a paid plan or a credit pack. Credits are refunded if a generation fails.

What the video background remover can't do

It does not give you a transparent video: the result is an ordinary MP4 with a new or cleared background drawn in. It handles one shot of up to 15 seconds per run (8 on Fast, 10 on Best) from a file of up to 20 MB, not a full-length video. It is a generative edit and not a precise matte: the AI redraws the clip, so fine edges such as hair are not pixel-exact and small details of the subject can change.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the background from a video?

Upload the clip, choose to clear or replace the background, pick a tier, and generate. Download the finished MP4.

Do I need a green screen?

No. The AI finds the subject in ordinary footage. A plain, contrasting background gives the cleanest edge.

How long can the video be?

Short clips only, up to around 15 seconds depending on the quality tier. Cut longer footage into shots first.

Can I remove video background free online?

New Solmi accounts start with free credits, enough to test a clip of about two seconds on the Fast tier. After that, background removal is billed per second of the clip in credits, with the price shown before you generate.

Can I get a video with a transparent background?

No. The tool returns an ordinary MP4 with no transparency, in which the background is replaced or cleared. To place the subject over other footage, ask for a plain single-color background, such as solid green, and remove that color in a video editor; how clean the key is depends on the footage.
