Unscreen Alternative Now That Unscreen Is Gone
Unscreen, the one-click video background remover, shut down on 1 December 2025 and now redirects to Canva. Pixo's AI agent generates the scene you were compositing — script, shots, audio and a finished 1080p video.
What is Unscreen, and why look for an alternative?
Unscreen was the one-click video background remover from Kaleido AI, the team behind remove.bg, and after Canva acquired Kaleido in 2021 it stayed the quickest way to lift a subject out of a clip and drop it onto something else, with an API that other apps built on. It is gone. The standalone service was discontinued on 1 December 2025, when uploads, accounts and the API stopped; as of August 2026, unscreen.com returns a 301 redirect to Canva's video background remover feature page, which offers the same job as a Canva Pro feature inside Canva's editor. If pure background removal is all you need, that page is the official successor and it works. But most Unscreen users were not removing a background for its own sake; they were removing one because the footage did not show the scene they wanted. Pixo starts from that scene. Describe it, and an agent scripts, storyboards, generates every shot with Seedance, Kling, Veo, Hailuo and more, adds voiceover, sound effects and music, and edits a finished 1080p video. If you're searching for an Unscreen alternative because it is gone and the redirect only removes backgrounds, you want an agent, not another background remover.
Where Unscreen users hit a wall
No Standalone Successor
Unscreen closed on 1 December 2025 and the API went with it. The redirect lands on a feature inside Canva's editor, not a tool you can point a workflow at.
A Cutout Still Needs a Scene
Background removal gives you a subject with nothing behind it. The backdrop, the lighting match and the motion that sells the composite were always your problem, and still are.
Look-Alike Domains Fill the Gap
unscreen.io and unscreen.pro now rank for the brand and are not affiliated with Kaleido or Canva. Anyone still searching the name is one click from a copycat.
Pixo vs Unscreen
Unscreen stripped the background out of footage you already had. Pixo is an agentic video platform that generates the footage and the setting together, then edits the result.
| Criterion | Pixo | Unscreen |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Complete videos of any format — ads, demos, music videos, short films | Discontinued — one-click background removal for short clips and GIFs |
| Starting point | A description of the scene; the agent generates subject and setting together | Discontinued — footage you already shot, with the backdrop stripped out |
| Script & storyboard | Agent writes the script and shot list before anything renders | Discontinued — none; it processed a clip and returned a cutout |
| Scene consistency | Shared assets anchor characters, products and places across every shot | Discontinued — a new background per clip, matched by hand in an editor |
| Audio | AI voiceover, sound effects, and music generated in the same pipeline | Discontinued — silent output; audio handled elsewhere |
| Pricing approach | 200 free credits to start; monthly plans with top-ups | No longer available |

How to switch from Unscreen to Pixo
1
Describe the Scene You Were Compositing
Tell the agent who is in the shot, where it takes place and how it should feel — the backdrop you used to swap in becomes the brief.
2
Bring the Subject as an Asset
Upload images of the person or product you kept cutting out. As a shared asset it anchors every shot, so the subject stays recognizable across the sequence.
3
Approve the Board, Then Render
Review the storyboard, change what is wrong, and the agent generates each shot, adds voiceover and audio, and exports a finished 1080p video.
