Spec score 9.4 #1 of 29 in AI Video Background Removers

What it is

Background Eraser removes or replaces video backgrounds during recording or from imported footage, and removes photo backgrounds in one click. GPU-accelerated AI processes video and images on the device, without uploading footage; the app also works offline and requires no account. Video backgrounds can be replaced with colors, images, looping videos, blur or studio presets, with controls for feathering, smoothing, tightness and temporal smoothing. Video detection is designed for people in talking-head videos, presentations and tutorials. For photos, users can choose which detected subjects to keep. Videos export as MP4 H.264 at full, 1080p, 720p or 540p; photo cutouts export as PNG, including transparent PNG. Canvas presets include 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 and other social formats. The free plan includes recording and editing, but adds a watermark to video and photo exports. Pro removes watermarks through weekly, monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscriptions; current prices are shown in the app.

Background Eraser in depth

Read the full write-up

Background Eraser is an offline editor for removing and replacing video backgrounds and cutting subjects out of photos. It suits creators making talking-head videos, presentations, tutorials and social assets who want local processing across Apple, Windows and the web. Its strongest advantage is private, credit-free processing; the principal compromise is watermarking on the free plan.

Overview

The app removes video backgrounds while recording or from imported footage, with detection tuned to people rather than arbitrary moving objects. That makes it a focused choice for presenters and tutorial makers, not a general rotoscoping system. One-click photo background removal complements the video workflow by isolating subjects for compositing.

Background removal and video processing run on the device using GPU-accelerated AI, and footage is not uploaded. It works fully offline and requires no account. The product also states that there are no file-size limits, processing queues or per-video credits, so frequent users are not forced into a metered workflow.

Key features

Video replacement and control

Removed video backgrounds can be replaced with a solid color, image, looping video, blur or studio preset. Feather, smoothing, tightness and temporal-smoothing controls provide practical ways to balance edge softness, subject fit and frame-to-frame stability. The people-focused detection is well matched to talking heads, presentations and tutorials, but readers needing isolation of pets, products or complex moving scenes should look elsewhere.

Photo cutouts

For still images, the app detects the main subjects and lets you choose which detected subjects to retain. PNG export includes transparent PNG, making the result suitable for placing a person or object into another design without an opaque background.

Exports and formats

Video exports use MP4 H.264 at full resolution or 1080p, 720p or 540p, with 1080p as the maximum stated resolution. Canvas presets include 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 16:9, plus other social-oriented formats, reducing the need to set dimensions manually. A flat chroma-green preset creates footage that can continue into OBS, Final Cut Pro, Premiere or DaVinci Resolve; it extends an existing editing workflow rather than replacing those editors.

Pricing

Free

The Free plan costs nothing and includes all recording and editing features. Video and photo exports carry a watermark, so it is best for trying the workflow, internal drafts or outputs where branding is acceptable.

Pro

Pro pricing is custom pricing: the current amount is shown in the app. Subscriptions bill weekly, monthly or yearly and renew automatically. Pro includes everything in Free and removes the watermark from exports, which is the meaningful upgrade for published client, educational or social work. Apple processes purchases; RevenueCat receives purchase-receipt data and a random app-generated identifier for subscription validation.

Platforms

Background Eraser runs on iOS, macOS, the web and Windows. Offline operation and on-device processing make it suitable where uploading footage is undesirable or connectivity is unreliable. The stated maximum export resolution remains 1080p across its export options.

Who it's for

Choose it if you regularly produce people-centered videos and photo cutouts, want replacement backgrounds and edge controls, and prefer local processing without accounts, queues or usage credits. It is particularly well suited to privacy-conscious creators and social publishers using preset canvases. It is a weaker fit for object-centric video masking, higher-than-1080p delivery or teams that need published seat and collaboration terms.

Pros and cons

Pros

Offline, on-device AI: footage stays on the device and no account is required.

Unmetered workflow: no stated file-size limits, queues or per-video credits.

Flexible replacement: colors, images, looping videos, blur and studio presets cover common creator scenarios.

Useful handoff: chroma-green output works with OBS, Final Cut Pro, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve.

Photo transparency: PNG and transparent PNG exports support compositing.

Cons

Watermarked free exports: the no-cost plan is unsuitable for clean final deliverables.

People-focused video detection: it is not aimed at isolating arbitrary moving subjects.

1080p ceiling: higher-resolution delivery is not supported by the stated export options.

Auto-renewing Pro: weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically, with the current price shown only in the app.

Alternatives

For a broader cross-platform toolkit with Android, API and self-hosted availability, consider Cutout.Pro; its listed subscription includes 80 credits per month for $5 a month.

Pick unscreen.io when browser processing and a permanently free, no-account workflow matter more than sound: its free plan supports unlimited browser processing up to 1080p but exports WebM only, with no sound and limited bitrate.

BackgroundRemover is the alternative for readers who want free, open-source software that can be installed locally.

Choose Robust Video Matting for a free GPL-3.0 project with pretrained models and source code.

Media.io AI Object Remover is a web-based paid option with a 3-day trial and 1080p export.

VCam suits users seeking a workspace-oriented macOS, Windows and web product with storage and member limits.

PixelZap is a mobile-and-macOS alternative.

Vmaker is better suited to screen recording and subtitle quotas than dedicated background removal.

See the AI Video Background Removers list for more options.

Verdict

Background Eraser is a strong choice for individual creators who need private, offline people-background removal, transparent photo cutouts and social-ready exports without usage credits. Choose Pro when watermark-free delivery matters; look elsewhere for non-human subject tracking, resolutions above 1080p or clearer team and subscription pricing.

Verdict

Background Eraser offers offline background removal for video and photos, with export options for both. The free plan has watermarked exports; Pro removes them, with prices available in the app.
