Remove Backgrounds From Images

Sometimes, you just want to use a photo in your video—but the messy background makes it feel out of place. Maybe it’s a headshot on a busy backdrop, a product photo with clutter behind it, or an image that just doesn’t match the rest of your content.

With background removal, you don’t need to open another app or figure out complicated editing tools. One click, and the background’s gone. You’re left with a clean cutout you can drop right into your video—no tracing, no cleanup, no extra work.

Whether you’re showing a speaker, featuring a product, or adding a branded touch, it helps your visuals look sharper and more intentional. It’s one of those small things that makes your video feel a lot more put together.

Clean Cutouts in One Click

Editing out a background by hand is slow and honestly kind of frustrating—especially when you’re just trying to move a project forward. This AI tool handles it for you. Upload an image, click once, and you’ve got a background-free version ready to use. It works fast and gets it right, without needing you to fine-tune anything.

    It was often difficult… outsourcing video production makes the process more lengthy and not all creative decisions were under our control. With PlayPlay, we are much more intentional about planning and creating new visual content.
