Green Screen Footage & Templates — free, in your browser

Green screen footage is video shot against a solid backdrop so the background can be removed and replaced. Templates are pre-built scenes — virtual sets, lower-thirds, weather maps — that your cut-out subject drops into. Both start with the same step: key out the color.

Where to find green screen footage

Free stock libraries. Sites like Pixabay and Pexels tag clips as "green screen," so you can search the tag and filter by license.
Paid libraries. Curated catalogs offer larger, production-ready sets when you need variety or higher resolution.
Pick clean sources. An evenly lit, high-resolution clip keys far better than a dim, wrinkled one — check the backdrop before you download.

How to use green screen footage

Download the clip. Save the footage you want to composite.
Key the backdrop out. Drop it above, keep the green preset, and adjust Similarity threshold until the background disappears.
Export. Save a transparent WebM or a PNG-sequence zip.
Composite. Place your cut-out onto your own scene in your editor, or drop a template behind it.

Templates

A template is a finished background scene — a virtual studio, a map, a title card. You remove your subject's backdrop, then layer the cut-out over the template. It's the fast way to look produced without building the set yourself.

Remove the background — free, in your browser

For a quick key, skip the desktop suite: drop the clip above, keep the green preset, tune the threshold, and export a transparent result. Everything runs on your device.

Image or video?

Still image? You get a transparent PNG. Video? You get a transparent WebM or a PNG-sequence zip. Both are processed on your device — nothing is uploaded.

Tips for a clean edge

If a green halo remains, nudge Edge shrink up by 1–2 px.
If hair or fine detail gets chewed away, lower Edge shrink and raise Edge smoothing.
You can click the preview to sample any color as the key — handy for uneven or lit backdrops.

Common questions

Where can I get free green screen footage?

Free stock libraries tag "green screen" clips — search the tag and check the license before any commercial use. Paid libraries add larger, curated catalogs.

What is a green screen template?

A pre-made background scene you place your keyed subject into, so you skip building the set from scratch — virtual studios, maps, and title cards are common examples.
