VideoCutout
Online AI video background removal tool that automatically removes video backgrounds without a green screen, with transparent WebM output and custom image backgrounds, billed by credits.
About VideoCutout
VideoCutout is an online video background removal tool: after you upload a video, it automatically removes the background — no green screen and no manual frame-by-frame masking required. It uses a credit-based billing system, where 1 second of video costs 1 credit (rounded up to the nearest second, with a minimum of 3 credits per run). Registering and verifying an account grants 5 one-time trial credits, enough to process up to 5 seconds of video. All plans (including the free one) support videos up to 10 minutes (600 seconds); how much you can actually process depends on your credit balance. For output, it supports transparent WebM, which can be used for web overlays and post-production compositing, and you can also use JPG, PNG, or WebP images as the new background. Input formats supported include MP4, MOV, WebM, and GIF. It does not offer a public API and is not positioned as an enterprise-grade batch processing system.
