Video Background Remover on Canva Pro helps you instantly erase the background from a video and replace it with a new scene. Upload your video (or drag and drop), then use the “Background Remover” tool under Tools to remove the backdrop in one click.

Once the background is removed, you can continue refining the result with Canva’s online video editor. Add final touches, then download and share your updated video as a high-quality MP4 file. If you want the subject placed into a different context, you can set a new scene by adding your video to templates from Canva’s video library or by choosing visuals from Canva’s media library.

This tool is a practical choice for creators, marketers, and anyone who needs clean, consistent visuals for product promos, tutorials, and social content. It’s also useful when you want to avoid manual background cleanup—or re-shooting footage in a new location.
