What's different about Kapwing?
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove the background from an image?
Yes, Kapwing also supports removing any form of background (including green screens) from images. You can do this via "erase" under "edit" on the right-hand toolbar. From there, you can auto-remove the image background using AI or manually erase sections using an erase brush or "magic wand".
Do you need a green screen for chroma key?
No, a green screen isn’t strictly necessary for chroma keying. The process involves removing a specific color from a video to replace it with another image or video. Any solid color that contrasts well with the subject can work. However, green is the most commonly used color due to its distinctiveness, brightness, and practicality. Kapwing's chroma key tool supports green, blue, and other colors, allowing you to key out whatever works best for your project.
How to remove a green screen
You can remove a green screen from any video for free by following these three steps:
- Upload your video that includes a green screen to Kapwing.
- Select "chroma key" under the "effects" tab.
- Adjust the threshold to remove the video background
Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports contain a watermark. This includes the Green Screen Remover tool and all other background or noise 'removal' features. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.
Is Kapwing's Green Screen Remover free?
Yes, Kapwing's Green Screen Remover tool is free to use. However, to remove video backgrounds using AI instead of the chroma key tool, a Pro account is required.
