Up to 4K video processing for professional results
Most remove background APIs cap output at 720p or deliver inconsistent results with high-resolution footage. VEED's AI remove background API handles videos up to 4K resolution, preserving detail and clarity for professional use cases. Whether you're building tools for content creators, e-commerce platforms, or video production workflows, your users get high-quality output without resolution compromises.
Person and object modes for versatile background removal
Many AI background removers only handle people reliably. This API includes dedicated modes for both human subjects and objects. Use Person mode for talking-head videos, interviews, and creator content. Use Object mode for product demos, item showcases, and other non-human subjects. One API covers use cases from UGC platforms to e-commerce automation.
Video-first background removal built for production workflows
Background removal APIs have traditionally focused on images. VEED's API is purpose-built for video, with output formats designed for professional workflows. Export as VP9 with alpha channel for transparent video, or as separate H.264 RGB and alpha files for flexibility in compositing software and editing workflows.
