What you can get out

Transparent WebM with real alpha, ProRes MOV for editors that will not take WebM, a green-screen MP4 for tools that key rather than composite, the alpha mask on its own, and a transparent GIF. The GIF is fixed at 640 pixels on the long side and 15 frames per second: an uncapped transparent GIF runs to tens of megabytes in the one format whose point is that you can attach it to something.

You can also keep the subject and change what is behind it, or keep the background and blur it.

One model for both modes

Portrait mode used to run RVM at half the credits. On a 30-second test clip it lost most of the trouser legs in a crouching frame and left a block of the room down the left edge, where BiRefNet's portrait variant kept the figure whole. Both modes now run BiRefNet at the same two credits per second. The roadmap has the rest of that reasoning.

A preview without an account

Three frame previews a day without signing in, so trying the cut-out costs nothing and asks for nothing. Signed-in previews are capped at 720p.

Analytics that stay off your footage

We use Microsoft Clarity for heatmaps, and it is switched off entirely on every page that can show your own video rather than recording those pages with the player masked. A masked recording of a video page is still a recording with holes in it.

Also

A refund and cancellation policy that says what happens to credits, and eleven public pages rebuilt on one visual system.

The first day this site could take a video and hand back a cut-out.

The pipeline

Uploading a clip reserves credits, queues the job, runs it through the model, stores the finished file and settles the reservation against what the job actually cost. A failure at any step releases the reservation instead of swallowing it, so a job that produces no file produces no charge.

Priced per second, quoted first

Two credits per second of video, and people and objects cost the same. The number is shown before you start and that is the number reserved; there is no revision afterwards. One credit is one US cent, and every movement in the ledger is a row — grants, reservations, settlements, refunds — so a balance is derived from those rows rather than kept as a number that can drift away from them.

One frame free, before you spend anything

The frame at one second goes through a fast single-image model and comes back watermarked within seconds of the upload, so you can see the cut-out before committing credits to the whole clip.

Limits

Source uploads are capped at 100 MB.
