Remove backgrounds from your videos quickly with Canva’s Video Background Remover. Upload a video, apply the Background Remover tool, and replace the original backdrop without needing green screen footage or advanced editing skills.

The workflow is designed to be simple: upload your video (via upload or drag-and-drop), select “Background Remover” under Tools to remove the background in one click, then make any additional edits in Canva’s online video editor. You can further refine the result and add your subject into a new scene using templates from Canva’s video library or choosing assets from Canva’s media library.

This is a good fit for creators and marketers who want clean, consistent visuals for product promos, tutorials, and social content—especially when you want a fast alternative to manual background removal or re-shooting.
