Remove Backgrounds from HeyGen Videos

HeyGen's built-in backgrounds are limited. Common reasons to remove backgrounds:

Branding:

• Add your company's branded backgrounds
• Match corporate presentation templates
• Create consistent visual identity across videos

Creative Control:

• Composite onto location footage
• Add animated or video backgrounds
• Create split-screen layouts

Repurposing:

• Use same avatar on different backgrounds
• Create variations for A/B testing
• Adapt for different platforms and contexts

No! Our AI preserves all facial details:

• Lip movements stay perfectly synced
• Facial expressions remain intact
• Natural head movements preserved
• Hand gestures (if enabled) stay clean

HeyGen's lip-sync in 175+ languages works seamlessly after background removal.

We support all HeyGen avatar outputs:

Stock Avatars:

• 1000+ pre-made avatars
• Various ages, ethnicities, attire
• Professional and casual styles

Custom Avatars:

• Your own trained avatar
• Photo-to-avatar conversions
• Custom expressions and gestures

Photo Avatars:

• Single image to video
• Works with our background removal

All avatar types produce excellent results with our AI processing.

HeyGen's Interactive Avatars (real-time conversation) are live/streaming products. For background removal:

• Works best with pre-recorded HeyGen videos
• Export your avatar video first
• Then process with VideoBGRemover

For live streaming backgrounds, you'd need real-time processing which is different from our batch service.
