Free video editor
Put text behind you in a video, free
Upload a video of you talking and pick an effect. You are cut out of the shot automatically, the words go behind you, and you download it without a watermark.
3 free edits a month · No watermark · No card needed
No green screen
You are found in every frame and lifted off the background, so text and graphics can sit between you and the room.
Five ways to do it
One huge word, glass letters, words that circle your head, a magazine cover, or a card that lists your points as you say them.
Your words, or what you said
Type the word yourself, or leave it empty and the strongest word you say in that part of the video is used.
Which effect to pick
Backdrop word puts one huge word behind your head. Glass type does the same with see-through letters and a moving highlight. Orbit sends up to six short words around your head, passing behind it. Cover story turns the shot into a magazine cover with the title behind you. Outline card places a glass card above and behind your head and adds a line each time you name a point.
Getting a clean result
It works best with one person in the shot and some contrast between you and the background. Short words read better than long ones: the word is scaled to fit the frame, so six letters come out far bigger than twelve. Each effect lasts about four seconds at the start, middle or end of the video, or the whole video, and you can use up to three.

Questions
Do I need to film in front of a plain wall?
No. It works in an ordinary room. A background very close to your hair colour can leave a thin edge around you.
Is this on the free plan?
Yes. Every effect is on the free plan.
Does it work with two people in the shot?
It is built for one person. With two, the cut-out can be less clean.
Is it really free?
Yes. The free plan gives you 3 exports a month, videos up to 3 minutes, in 1080p, with no watermark. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your browser, on a computer or a phone.
What happens to my video?
It stays private. On the free plan the upload is deleted after 3 days and exports after 7, and you can remove a video yourself at any time.
