Traditionally, achieving a background-free video required the use of chroma keying, which could be cumbersome and require specific setups. Unscreen simplifies this process, allowing users to upload their videos and have the background removed without having to manually select colors or paint masks.

The tool can analyze and process videos to generate high-quality results without requiring any manual intervention from the user. This is particularly appealing for users who may not have the technical skills or the time to engage in detailed video editing.

Unscreen also offers a Pro version, which includes additional features such as full HD resolution, no watermarks, API access, and plugin support for video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. This version is (obviously) geared toward professional users who need more control over their output and higher-quality results for their projects.

The service has been recognized for its accuracy and ease of use, making it a valuable tool for content creators, marketers, and educators who frequently work with video content.

All in all, by eliminating the need for specialized equipment or skills — Unscreen opens up new possibilities for content creation and presentation, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their videos with clean, professional-looking background removal.

Canva, Unscreen’s parent company since 2021, discontinued the service on December 1, 2025, to focus on integrated tools.
