High-quality video background removal API with 4K support

Most background removal tools are built for still images. Vidione is designed for video, processing footage up to 4K while preserving fine detail around your subject. Choose Person mode for talking-head content or Object mode for products, ads, and non-human subjects.

The API returns production-ready results for compositing, including transparent VP9 video or separate RGB and alpha files. Send the output straight into your editing pipeline without extra format work, and scale reliable background removal across your application.

How the background removal API works:

Process video up to 4K for polished results

Many background tools limit output to low resolutions or lose detail on high-definition footage. Vidione handles video up to 4K, preserving clarity for creator platforms, commerce experiences, and professional production workflows.

Person and object modes for flexible removal

Use a dedicated Person mode for interviews, tutorials, and talking-head footage, or switch to Object mode for products and other non-human subjects. One API supports both sides of the workflow.
