Video background eraser API built for speed
Need to remove video backgrounds at scale? This fast background removal API prioritizes speed for high-volume workflows. Process videos with optimized inference â 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 01
Upload your video
Provide your video URL and configure settings. Set âSubject Is Personâ to true for human subjects, or false for objects. Choose your output codec.
Step 02
Process and generate
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 03
Receive your video
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.

Speed-optimized AI background removal API
Perfect for social content and other high-volume workflows. This API uses optimized inference paths for faster results from the same core segmentation model as our standard API. For maximum quality on client deliverables, check out the standard background remover API.
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. Enable edge refinement for cleaner subject extraction, or disable it for lower cost. Use refined output for final deliverables, or standard output for social posts and drafts.

FAQ
This API is built for speed-focused workflows: social media content, product demos, interview cleanup, draft renders, and high-volume batch processing. Use it when turnaround time matters more than maximum edge precision. For professional output where quality comes first, use the standard endpoint instead.
- Input: MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, and GIF
- Output: VP9 with embedded alpha channel, or dual H.264 streams (separate RGB and alpha files). VP9 simplifies web deployment. H.264 split streams preserve maximum color fidelity for compositing.
Frame-based pricing starts at $0.008 per 30 frames (refinement off) or $0.012 per 30 frames (refinement on). Toggle refinement based on your output needs â drafts and social content can skip it, client deliverables benefit from cleaner edges. Commercial use permitted. See fal.ai for current pricing details.
- Fast: Optimized for speed and cost control. Same core AI model with faster inference paths. Best for high-volume workflows, social content, and drafts where turnaround matters most.
- Standard: Optimized for quality. Additional parameter control for specialized workflows. Best for professional output, client deliverables, and cases where edge precision is critical. Both support person and object modes, VP9 and H.264 output formats, and run on fal.ai.
