How to Remove White Background from Video: A Step-by-Step Guide (Using Still Frames)
Since our tool works best with still images, we'll break down your video into individual frames, remove the backgrounds from each frame, then compile them back into a video or animated image.
- Extract Frames from Video: Use a video editing software (like OpenShot or Shotcut, both free) to export your video as a sequence of PNG or JPG images. Every frame will be a separate image file.
- Batch Upload to Remove Background: Our tool allows you to remove backgrounds from images easily. While we don't directly support batch processing for video frames within the tool yet, you can script an automated process or use third-party batch processing tools combined with our API to achieve this effect with a single click. Automating it makes it possible to batch upload the entire sequence of images. Learn more about bulk image background removal.
- Download Transparent PNGs: Our tool processes the images in the browser, ensuring your privacy, and returns a PNG file with the background removed. No sign-up, no watermarks, no hassle.
- Compile Frames into Video/GIF: Import the processed PNG sequence back into your video editing software. Set the frame rate to match your original video's frame rate. This will create a video with a transparent background. You can also compile this sequence into a transparent GIF using online GIF makers.
This process leverages our tool’s powerful AI-driven background removal capabilities for still images to achieve the desired effect for video, offering a workaround solution that's completely free.
Tips for Best Results
- Good Lighting: Well-lit videos with clear subject definition produce better results.
- High Contrast: Ensure good contrast between the subject and the white background.
- Stable Footage: Avoid excessive camera movement, as it can complicate the frame-extraction process.
- Consistent Background: Maintain a consistent white background throughout the video for easier removal.
Benefits of Using Our Free Tool
- Completely Free: No hidden costs, subscriptions, or watermarks.
- Browser-Based: No software installation required.

Beyond White: Removing Other Backgrounds
The technique described above to remove white background from video can be adapted for videos with backgrounds of any single, consistent color, such as a green screen. While greenscreen footage might be more amenable to automated solutions (or premium software) this free method works well if you don't have those tools. Regardless, consider using a green screen remover tool if you plan to create many transparent background videos.
