Background Eraser Download free

Shot once. Framed for every platform.

Background Eraser includes canvas presets for every major platform — 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, 1:1 and 4:5 for Instagram, 16:9 for YouTube, 2:3 for Pinterest and 1.91:1 for X and Facebook. Because your cutout floats free of the original background, you can reposition and scale yourself to fit each frame instead of blindly cropping.
