What I learned building an AI video background changer

Hey DEV community,

I recently launched bgchanger.video, an AI video background changer for removing or replacing video backgrounds directly in the browser.

The idea is simple: many creators, indie hackers, marketers, and product teams need cleaner videos, but traditional editing tools can feel too heavy for quick background cleanup.

With bgchanger.video, you can:

  • Upload a video
  • Remove the original background
  • Export with a transparent background
  • Replace the background with a solid color
  • Download the result in formats like MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, or GIF
  • Keep the original audio when needed

I built it for quick workflows like:

  • Product demo videos
  • Social media clips
  • Creator videos
  • Ad creatives
  • Cleaner profile or presentation videos
  • Background cleanup before further editing

The current version focuses on making the workflow straightforward: upload, configure, generate, download.

I am still improving the product and would love feedback from other builders:

  • Is the workflow clear enough?
  • What export options would you expect?
  • Would you prefer templates, custom background uploads, or batch processing?
  • What would make this useful in your own video workflow?

You can try it here:

Thanks for checking it out. Feedback is very welcome.
