Video Eraser: Remove Objects from Video with AI

Upload your clip, paint over the object you want to remove on the first frame, and submit. The AI turns your brush strokes into a mask, removes the object through the clip, and fills the area with background estimated from the surrounding pixels. You don't need editing software or keyframes, and you can download the cleaned video as soon as the task finishes.

A video eraser is an AI tool that erases specific objects from video footage while leaving the rest of the frame untouched. iMideo's video eraser works from a single painted mask, so you mark the object once instead of editing every frame.

The video eraser can remove a wide range of objects including people, signs, props, cables and wires, text overlays, logos, watermarks, timestamps, and other unwanted items in the frame. Performance is strongest when the object occupies a clear, bounded area and when there is enough background visible around it for the AI to reconstruct from.

The removal mask is painted on the first frame and applied to the entire video. If the person or object you painted remains in roughly the same region of the frame throughout the clip, results are typically clean. Objects that move significantly or leave the painted region may not be fully removed from later frames. For best results on people, use a slightly generous brush area that covers where they appear throughout the clip.

iMideo's video eraser accepts MP4, MOV, AVI, and WebM files. The file size limit is 100MB, and the video duration limit is 10 minutes (600 seconds). Higher-resolution source videos tend to produce cleaner background fills because the AI has more detail to work with.

Processing time depends on video length and complexity. After you submit the task, you can track progress in the task manager panel. Shorter clips generally complete faster. You'll be notified when your cleaned video is ready to download.

Credits are based on video duration. Short clips of 5 seconds or under require a minimum of 7 credits. Clips longer than 5 seconds are calculated at approximately 14 credits per 10 seconds of footage. You can see the exact credit requirement before submitting. Credits can be purchased in bundles from your dashboard. Check our pricing page for current rates.

Video eraser lets you selectively remove specific objects by painting over them, while the rest of the video remains intact. Video background remover removes the entire background from every frame, isolating the foreground subject. Use video eraser to clean up a specific distraction — a person, a prop, a logo. Use AI Video Background Remover when you want to isolate a subject entirely against a transparent or replaced background.

For most common removal scenarios — people against open backgrounds, props on flat surfaces, text over consistent backgrounds — the fill looks convincing. Complex or highly patterned backgrounds like tiled floors or dense foliage can sometimes show minor inconsistencies. Higher-resolution source videos and objects with clear surrounding context produce the most natural fills.

Your uploaded videos are used to generate your removal result, stored temporarily for processing, and deleted according to the product retention policy. They are not used for AI model training or shared with third parties.

Cover the full area of the object with your brush, including a small border around the edges. Avoid painting partially — incomplete masking often leaves visible artifacts. Use a larger brush for wide objects and reduce size for narrow or detailed targets. If the first result has artifacts, try resubmitting with a slightly wider or tighter paint area.
