Manual Video Background Remover

Draw a box around the subject you want to keep. SAM2 tracks that selection through the whole video while the background is removed or replaced.

Manual Background Remover Tool

Upload a video, mark the subject with a single box, and choose a transparent, solid color, or custom image background.

Manual Background Remover
Draw a box around the subject you want to keep, then remove or replace the background.

How it works

You draw one box around the subject on a single frame. SAM2 tracks that selection through the whole clip and keeps it sharp while the background is removed or replaced.

Precise, subject-first background editing

When automatic detection picks the wrong subject, take over. Mark what to keep with a single box and let the tracker do the rest.

The automatic background remover works from an AI guess about what the foreground is. That is usually right, but in a crowded frame — two presenters, a product next to a hand, a subject that blends into the wall — it can lock onto the wrong thing. This tool removes the guesswork: you draw one box around the subject you want, and that selection is what stays.

How it works

  1. Upload your video and scrub to a frame where the subject is clearly visible.
  2. Drag one box around the subject you want to keep.
  3. SAM2 tracks that selection forward and backward through every frame, so a subject that appears mid-clip is still covered.
  4. Choose what happens behind it: fully transparent, a solid color, or a custom image you upload.

Background options

Transparent

Exported as a WebM with an alpha channel, ready to composite over anything.

Solid color

Any hex color for a clean studio look or an on-brand backdrop.

Custom image

Upload a photo or graphic; it is aspect-fit and centered behind your subject.

Good for

Multi-person clips

Keep one presenter when the automatic cut grabs both.

Product shots

Isolate the product, not the hand holding it.

Low-contrast scenes

Mark the subject when it blends into a similar background.

Reels and ads

Drop a branded backdrop behind a talking-head clip.

Cost

The first run is free with no watermark. After that, processing uses credits based on the length of your video.

Why manual selection

Full control over which subject stays and what happens behind it

You pick the subject

Tracked across every frame

SAM2 propagates your single selection through the whole video, forward and backward.

Any background

Export transparent, drop in a solid brand color, or replace with a custom image.

Clean edges

Edge-aware compositing keeps the subject sharp while the background is rebuilt.

"Being able to pick the subject myself and get a clean transparent WebM back saved a lot of rotoscoping."
