Unscreen Alternative: Remove Video Backgrounds After Unscreen Shut Down
Unscreen, the popular online video background remover, closed on June 29, 2026. If you used it to cut people out of clips, this tool works the same way: upload a video, the AI removes the background, and you download a video with a transparent background.
How to remove a video background without Unscreen
1. Upload your video (MP4, MOV or M4V) to the tool above.
2. Wait while the AI removes the background on every frame — no green screen needed.
3. Download the video with a transparent background.
What happened to Unscreen?
Unscreen was operated by the team behind remove.bg, which is part of Canva. Canva announced that Unscreen would stop operating on June 29, 2026, and pointed users to Canva’s own video background remover.
