No green screen. No rotoscoping. No frame-by-frame masking. Just upload your footage and get a clean cutout in seconds.
Video background removal is now live in Kolbo.AI under Video Tools.
Quick answer: to remove the background from a video, open Remove Background in Kolbo.AI Video Tools, upload the clip and generate. You get the person or product on a transparent background, ready to drop onto any new scene. No green screen, no masking.
What It Does
Kolbo's background removal analyzes your video automatically and isolates the subject on every frame. The result is a clean, transparent-background clip you can drop into any composition, template, or scene.
It handles:
- Talking-head footage - product demos, tutorials, social clips, interviews
- Product shots - remove the cluttered background, keep the product
- Compositing sources - create layered video scenes without expensive studio setups
- Social content - place presenters over branded backgrounds, color fields, or b-roll
No Setup Required
Traditional background removal workflows require either a physical green screen and controlled lighting, or hours of manual rotoscoping frame by frame.
Kolbo handles it in the cloud. Upload your clip, hit Remove Background, and download the result. No plugins, no After Effects, no special filming environment.
How to Use It
- Go to Video Tools in Kolbo.AI
- Choose Video to Video
- Upload your footage and select the Background Removal model
- Download the processed clip
The whole process takes seconds for short clips, a few minutes for longer footage.
Built for Real Workflows
Background removal is part of Kolbo's full video toolkit. You can chain it with other tools in the same session:
- Remove the background, then reframe for different aspect ratios
- Combine with Lipsync for presenter-over-scene videos
- Use the output as a layer in Kolbo Video Editor for compositing
All in one workspace, no exporting and re-importing between tools.

Frequently asked questions
Can I remove the background from a video without a green screen?
Yes. The AI finds the subject on every frame by itself, so any normal footage works. Clear separation between the subject and the background gives the cleanest edges.
Can I replace the background instead of removing it?
Yes. Remove it first, then place the cutout over a new image or clip in the Kolbo Video Editor, or use the AI background replacement guide to generate a new scene behind the subject.
What does the output look like?
A video of the subject with a transparent background, ready for compositing, social templates and product shots.
Does it work on phone footage?
Yes. Vertical and horizontal phone clips both work. Steady footage with good light gives the best result.
