Need to remove video backgrounds at scale? This fast background removal API prioritizes speed for high-volume workflows. Process videos with optimized inference — ideal for social content, drafts, and batch processing where turnaround matters more than polished edges.
The API runs on fal.ai with frame-based pricing and optional edge refinement. Enable refinement for cleaner edges, or disable for cheaper processing. Works with people and objects, no green screen required. For professional output where quality is the priority, see our standard background remover API.
How to use the fast background removal API:
Step 1
Provide your video URL and configure settings. Set ‘Subject Is Person’ to true for human subjects, or false for objects. Choose your output codec.
Step 2
The API analyzes your video and removes the background while preserving your subject. Toggle edge refinement on for cleaner edges, or off to save on costs.
Step 3
Get your processed video with the background removed. Output options include VP9 with alpha channel or H.264 as separate RGB and alpha files for compositing workflows.

Remove backgrounds automatically with cost control
Frame-based pricing puts you in control. The API charges per 30 frames, with a refinement toggle that affects pricing. Costs significantly less than manual rotoscoping.
