unscreen.io removes video backgrounds with AI, without requiring a green screen. Its web uploader accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, and GIF files. The free browser plan offers processing up to 1080p without time limits or an account, but supports WebM only, has no sound or storage, and uses limited bitrate. Premium plans support exports up to 4K with audio, no watermark, API access, and a commercial license; prices start at $2.97 per month. Premium processing offers Portrait Mode at 1 credit per second and Studio Quality at 4 credits per second. Unscreen Studio adds real-time background removal, virtual camera output, live face swap, video file processing, custom backgrounds, and a media downloader. The virtual camera can supply Zoom, OBS, Teams, or any camera-compatible application. Studio processes frames on the user's machine and says footage is not uploaded, streamed, or stored in the cloud. For cloud processing, videos remain available for download for 30 days before automatic deletion. The product also provides a REST API with a Node.js SDK.
