Change Your Video Background Online for Free

See the Same Cutout on 4 Backgrounds

Keep the person or product exactly as it is. Try a solid color, soften the scene with blur, add your own image, or place another video behind the cutout.

Nothing about the subject is re-processed when you switch, so it is worth starting with a color or a blur to see the shape of the result, then moving to your own picture or footage once you know what the clip is for.

Change a Video Background in 3 Steps

Every background change starts from a video whose original background has already been removed, so the first step happens on the home page and the other two happen here.

1. 

   1. Remove the Original Background

   Upload a video to BGRemove and wait until the transparent version is ready. Your finished clip will appear on this page.

   The clip keeps its motion and its sound, so nothing has to be rebuilt afterwards.

2. 

   2. Choose a New Background

   Select a color, blur, image, or video. BGRemove combines it with your transparent clip in this browser.

   You can switch between the four options and watch the result change before you commit to one.

3. 

   3. Export the Finished MP4

   Download the result as an MP4. You can return to the same transparent clip and try another background without using another allowance.

   The export keeps the resolution of the clip you started from.

Choose the Background That Fits the Job

The four options are not four versions of the same thing. Each one answers a different question about where the video is going to be seen.

• 

  Solid Color

  Best when nothing should compete with the subject.

  Pick a color, and the scene behind the person or product becomes one flat, even fill — useful for product shots, profile clips and anything that has to sit inside an existing brand color.

• 

  Blur

  Best when the real room is fine but distracting.

  The original room stays, softened out of focus, so the setting still reads as a real place while the person or product becomes the sharpest thing on screen.

• 

  Image

  Best when you already have somewhere the video should appear to be.

  Your own picture sits behind the cutout — a brand scene, an event backdrop, a product setting or a plain presentation wall you use across a series.

• 

  Video

  Best when a still background looks too flat.

  A moving background plays behind the subject, which suits tutorials, social posts and anything that should feel filmed on location rather than at a desk.

Make More Versions From One Cutout

Once a clip is transparent it stops being one video and becomes the starting point for several. The work of filming is already done; what changes is the scene behind it.

• 

  Ecommerce

  Shoot a product once and put it into as many settings as the calendar needs. The same bottle can stand in a summer scene this month and a gift-season scene the next, without booking the shot again.

  Creators

  Record a piece to camera wherever you happen to be, then put it in front of a tidy backdrop. A presenter filmed in a spare room can end up in a clean tutorial setting for every episode.

  Agencies

  One piece of footage can leave as several deliverables. Prepare a version for each placement from the same cutout, so a client review covers one performance rather than three separate shoots.

Questions About Changing a Background

Does this page remove the original background?

No. Start on the BGRemove home page and let it remove the original background first. Once that clip is finished it appears here, and this page puts something new behind it.

What can I use as a new background?

A solid color, a blur of the original scene, an image of your own, or a video of your own. Those are the four options.

Does changing a background use another allowance?

No. Background changes are completely free and unlimited. The allowance is used only when removing the original background.

Are my background images or videos uploaded?

No. The image or video you pick as a background is used inside your browser and is never uploaded to BGRemove.

What format do I download?

The finished result is exported as an MP4, which plays anywhere and can be posted without another conversion.

Why do I not see any clips here?

Only videos that have already finished background removal show up here. If the list is empty, remove a background first and the clip will appear.
