Transparent video maker

Animations with no background, exported as a WebM with an alpha channel so they sit on top of whatever is underneath: a name tag over an interview, a subscribe button over a vlog, captions over a Reel, a webcam frame in OBS. Transparent export is free here, like everything else.

How it works

  1. Open a transparent template, or set the scene's background color to Transparent: the canvas shows a checkerboard where it's see-through.

  2. Add your text, shapes and images, and animate them.

  3. Export as WebM. The transparency is kept in the video file.

Why WebM and not MP4

MP4 can't store transparency, so a transparent scene exported as MP4 gets a solid background. A WebM encoded with VP9 carries an alpha channel. For a single frame, PNG and WebP keep the transparency too.

Using the file

Put the WebM on a track above your footage, or add it to OBS as a media source. Support for transparent WebM varies between video editors, so try a short export in yours first.

Questions

Is transparent export a paid feature?

No. Plenty of animation tools keep it for their higher plans; here it's free, with no watermark and no account.

Can I export a transparent GIF?

No, GIFs are exported with a solid background. Use WebM for moving images with transparency, and PNG or WebP for stills.

Why did my WebM come out with a background?

Encoding transparent video depends on your browser. When it can't, the export falls back to a solid background: try again in another browser, such as a recent Chrome.
