What it is
unscreen.io removes video backgrounds with AI, without requiring a green screen. Its web uploader accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, and GIF. The free plan allows unlimited browser processing up to 1080p without an account or time limit, but is restricted to WebM, has no sound or storage, and uses limited bitrate. Premium starts at $2.97 a month and supports up to 4K, no watermark, audio, API access, and a commercial license. Its processing options include 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 built-in media downloader. The virtual camera can feed Zoom, OBS, Teams, or any camera-compatible application. Studio processes frames on the user's machine and says footage is not sent to or kept in the cloud; cloud-processed videos remain downloadable for 30 days before automatic deletion. A REST API with presigned uploads, API-key authentication, interactive documentation, an API portal, and a Node.js SDK is also available.
