RenderAlpha
AI video background remover that exports real transparency
About RenderAlpha
RenderAlpha is an online AI video background remover with one specific focus: the file you download actually stays transparent. You upload a clip or a GIF, it cuts the subject out of every frame of the whole clip, and it exports a format with a real alpha channel, either transparent WebM, ProRes 4444 or a transparent GIF. If you just need something that plays everywhere, it can also export an MP4 on a solid colour.
That focus matters because MP4 cannot store transparency, and many background removers hand you a file that turns black or white the moment it lands in OBS, a website or an editing app. RenderAlpha explains which format keeps the alpha channel in which tool and builds its exports around that. It works without a green screen, keeps hair and hand gestures at the edges, and lets you preview the cutout on your own clip for free before you pay. The site is also candid about what it struggles with: glass and smoke, subjects that blend into the background, very fast motion, and limbs at the edge of the frame. Pricing is credits, one credit per second of video, through monthly subscriptions or packs that never expire.
Drop an MP4, MOV, WebM or GIF of up to 95 MB into the uploader; up to 60 seconds are processed at a time. Choose the export: transparent WebM for websites and OBS, ProRes 4444 (.mov) for Premiere Pro, Final Cut and After Effects (up to 10 seconds), a transparent GIF for chats and stickers, or MP4 on a solid colour. Sign in to preview any frame of the cutout for free, then spend credits to process the whole clip. The finished file has no watermark, and uploads are deleted after 24 hours. Guides on the site cover loading the result in OBS, keeping the alpha channel when exporting, and why Safari can show a black background.

Streamers can cut themselves out of a reaction clip and layer it over their game in OBS as a transparent WebM. Video editors get ProRes 4444 cut-outs of full-body moves ready to stack in Premiere Pro, Final Cut or After Effects without masking. Marketers and web designers can float a talking presenter next to landing page copy, or lift a product out of a store shot to reuse across ad layouts. People making stickers and chat GIFs can export transparent GIFs directly. Occasional users can buy a small pack that never expires, while editors with a steady workload can take a monthly plan with a yearly discount.
