Make Video Background Transparent

Turn any video into a transparent overlay. Our AI removes the background, and you export a WebM video with an alpha channel that you can place on top of anything.

Transparent background videos for overlays and edits

A video with a transparent background lets you put a person on top of slides, gameplay, other footage or a live stream scene without a green screen. BehindVideo removes the background with AI and exports a WebM file that keeps the transparency, so it drops straight into editors and streaming software that support alpha video.

3 simple steps

How to make a video background transparent

Upload your video
1

Upload your video

Drop your video onto the upload field. The AI removes the background of the first 10 seconds automatically.

Check the cut-out

Preview the result on a checkerboard — that pattern shows which parts are transparent. Open the editor to process a longer clip.

Export as transparent WebM

Export as transparent WebM

Choose "Transparent video (WebM)" in the export dialog. The file keeps the alpha channel and is ready to use as an overlay.

Alpha channel

A real transparent video, not a black background

MP4 cannot store transparency, which is why most tools give you a black or green background. The WebM export keeps a real alpha channel, so the area around the person is truly see-through when you place the video on top of other content.

Overlays

Ready for overlays, edits and streams

Use the transparent clip as a presenter overlay on a tutorial, a reaction in the corner of a video, a cut-out in a music video or a talking head in your stream layout. Chrome, Firefox and Edge play transparent WebM, as do streaming tools like OBS and some video editors.

Film anywhere, cut out later

You don't need a green screen, special lighting or keying skills. Record wherever you are and let the AI do the cut-out — with good, even light for the cleanest edges.

Frequently asked questions

Upload the video on this page so the AI removes the background, then choose "Transparent video (WebM)" in the export dialog. The WebM file keeps the transparency.

The MP4 format (H.264) does not support transparency. An MP4 always has a solid background, so for a transparent result you need WebM with an alpha channel.

Removing the background is free. The transparent WebM export is part of the paid plans. Free users can export an MP4 up to 720p with a background.

Chrome, Firefox and Edge play transparent WebM. Streaming tools such as OBS and some video editors accept it too. Safari does not show WebM transparency.

No. The transparent WebM export contains the video with its alpha channel only. Export an MP4 as well if you need the audio.
