PixelZap vs unscreen.io

PixelZap is an on-device AI tool for removing video backgrounds and creating cutouts from people, products, photos, and GIFs. For video, it can remove or replace moving backgrounds without a physical green screen; replacement choices include a color, image, video, or gradient. Photo tools make product photos, profile pictures, transparent PNGs, and sticker-ready cutouts. GIF editing removes backgrounds and can produce animated cutouts with new scenes or outlines. Finishing tools include outlines, strokes, neon glow, trimming, cropping, merging, and compression. The product page also lists a video converter and audio extractor. PixelZap says background removal runs on the device and does not require media uploads to a cloud server. It is presented for personal and product media, supports MP4, MOV, AVI, and MKV video input, and is available on Android, iOS, and macOS. The Free plan is listed at free, and the page describes AI video background removal as free. It does not state usage limits.

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.
