The Best Unscreen.com Alternative After the Shutdown

Professional AI video background removal with longer videos, support for transparency, and flexible pricing. The perfect Unscreen replacement for creators and businesses.

Why Unscreen Shut Down & What It Means for You

Official Shutdown Date: December 1, 2025, 09:00 CET

Unscreen was acquired by Canva in 2021. After several years of operation under Canva ownership, the standalone Unscreen service was shut down on December 1, 2025. Here's what it means for former users:

All services stopped

Video uploads, processing, and API access were terminated

Data deletion

All user accounts and previously processed videos were permanently deleted

Pro subscriptions

Refunds were issued for unused subscription time

API integrations

All API keys stopped working

No successor service

Canva has not announced a direct replacement, they only provide video editor tool as a replacement. So we built Unscreen Pro to fill the gap.

Thousands of content creators, businesses, and developers need a reliable alternative. That's why we built Unscreen Pro - to provide continuity and even better features for the video background removal community.
