Green screen API optimized for clean edges and accurate colors
Remove green screen backgrounds without color bleed on hair, skin, and clothing edges. This green screen API is built specifically for chromakey footage, with adjustable spill suppression that removes color contamination while preserving subject detail.
Use the API to process talking head videos for marketing, YouTube intros, presenters over branded backgrounds, or training content. Output in VP9 with alpha channel or H264 split files — ready to composite over any background in our green screen editor.
How to access the VEED green screen API:
Step 01
Submit your green screen footage
Upload your video or provide your video URL via the API. Accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, and GIF formats.
Step 02
Adjust output codec and spill suppression
Choose VP9 for a single video with alpha channel, or H264 for separate RGB and alpha files. Use the Spill Suppression Strength slider (0-1) to dial in edge quality. Increase if green spots remain, decrease if subject colors shift.
Step 03
Receive your keyed video
Get your processed footage with the green screen removed and spill corrected. Ready to layer over custom backgrounds for social content, YouTube videos, or corporate presentations.

Adjustable spill suppression for chromakey precision
General background removal tools can technically remove green screens, but they may not offer dedicated spill suppression controls. That green color cast bleeds onto your subject's edges and makes the footage look obviously composited. This green screen API has an adjustable 0-1 spill suppression parameter that lets you dial in per-shot rather than relying on one-size-fits-all processing. For footage without a green screen, see our background remover API.
Production-ready output formats
Choose the codec that fits your workflow. VP9 outputs a single video with alpha channel, ideal for web, social, and quick compositing. H264 splits RGB and alpha into separate files for higher color quality in professional editing pipelines. The WebM format integrates directly into your workflow without intermediate conversion.
Built for green screen API integrations at scale
Frame-based pricing ($0.025 per 30 frames) keeps batch processing affordable for video platforms, marketing tools, and content apps. Process talking head videos, training content, or creator footage at scale. Test the green screen API online via fal.ai.

- VP9: Single video file with embedded alpha channel. Good for web and social compositing

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.
