BGRemove.video vs Cutout.Pro

BGRemove.video is a free web service that removes video backgrounds and exports transparent clips with an alpha channel. It accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, and GIF uploads up to 60 seconds and 2 GB. Its AI follows subjects across frames to reduce flicker and keep edges stable during movement. Transparent output is WebM using VP9 alpha, with the source dimensions preserved. You can place a solid color, blur, image, or video behind a processed clip and export an MP4 without consuming another removal allowance. The free plan costs nothing and allows three successful removals per 24-hour window, with no watermark. Files are processed in the EU and retained for 24 hours, or deleted sooner when requested. Google is the only sign-in option. The maker says uploads are not used to train its models or its provider’s models. Manual edge refinement is unavailable, and glass, smoke, fine mesh, depth-swapping overlaps, and severely underexposed footage are difficult cases.

Cutout.Pro removes image backgrounds and can replace them with other backgrounds. It accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP and BMP files up to 15 MB, with output up to 4096 × 4096 pixels in PNG or JPG. An Erase & Restore brush lets users refine missed background areas or clipped foreground details. Batch processing is available; the Windows and Mac desktop app can process folders. Other access includes Android, iOS, Linux, web and API. Each upload receives a low-resolution preview without a watermark, account or credits, while an HD image download uses one credit. New accounts receive five credits without a credit card. The free plan is available, and the listed subscription with 80 credits per month costs $5 a month. Other subscription and pay-as-you-go credit packages are listed. Main-platform credit purchases have a 14-day refund guarantee, but Shopify App credit purchases are non-refundable. Cutout.Pro was founded in 2018 and is based in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
