Unscreen
Former automatic video background remover; official domain now points to Canva
Overview
Unscreen was an online tool for automatically removing backgrounds from video clips and GIFs without a green screen. The standalone service is no longer available, and its official domain now redirects to Canva's video background remover. This listing preserves Unscreen's history and links to the current destination.
Our take
Unscreen's standalone video background removal has been discontinued and its domain now points to Canva. The listing stays so anyone searching for it gets a clear answer. Background removal remains widely available — it is now a feature inside larger editors rather than a product of its own, which is what happened to the category.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I remove video backgrounds now?
The capability has been absorbed into the major video and design platforms rather than disappearing — most browser video editors and design tools now include it. The video editor and image enhancer categories here list current options that include background removal among their features.
Why do standalone tools like this get absorbed?
Because a single capability is hard to defend commercially once larger platforms add it as a feature. Background removal was genuinely difficult and became a checkbox. It is a useful caution when building a workflow on a single-purpose tool — the better it works, the more likely it is to become someone else's feature.
