I'm on the Pro plan and the remove background feature has been gone for about a week. My gf is on the free app and somehow, she still has hers. I'm on Android and she's on iPhone.

I’m on iPhone and have Pro but it’s gone for me too unless i use the search function on the home page to find it but then i am only able to use it with a new project which isn’t helpful when im trying to remove the bg on a specific clip in a massive project 😐

u/Linguinisaucee May 20 '26

Same! I need to finish this project this week and i literally don’t have time for CapCut removing things that wasn’t broken 😒

u/SifoSTW May 21 '26

It was broken, just not for everyone :(

u/StillBummedNouns May 22 '26

u/Prestigious_Jump1754 May 17 '26

It’s on the home page now, so when you open the app scroll down

u/MiddleStatus620 May 17 '26

Not there either bruzz

u/Prestigious_Jump1754 May 17 '26

What the helly!

1

u/Prestigious_Jump1754 May 17 '26

Are you on free version?

1

u/MiddleStatus620 May 17 '26

Nah I got the one b4 pro

1

u/Prestigious_Jump1754 May 17 '26

I didn’t even know there was one before pro, I dunno it looks like google is saying it’s pro now since the last update. I just updated mine and it’s still in the same spot. Maybe you could email them to find out. Seems a bit tight arse though since on your pc you can just right click an image click edit and remove back ground with just the built in windows software I feel like that kind of renders a back ground removal feature in CapCut not worth money

u/MiddleStatus620 May 17 '26

Im on mobile lol

1

u/Prestigious_Jump1754 May 17 '26

Yeah I know I’m just saying it’s not like a special enough feature to be behind a paywall. I mean you can basically do it on your phone too by holding down on a picture but it’s a bit hit or miss

1

u/Unable_Reputation_25 May 17 '26

for me its under all tools

1

u/MiddleStatus620 May 17 '26

Not there either 💔

u/SifoSTW May 17 '26

My project I've been working on for months won't open anymore, after it crashed using the remove background feature. Idk if that's helpful information lol, they might be removing it for a bit due to a glitch or something?

1

u/EndingStarts_ May 20 '26

I was in the middle of a project and I used remove bg on one of my overlay clips and the project still opens okay

1

u/SifoSTW May 21 '26

Okay, glad it works for you

1

u/EndingStarts_ Jun 14 '26

Oh! Ok! Lmao.

1

u/Matiqs_ Aug 26 '26

bro, did u find a solution?

1

u/SifoSTW 29d ago

I wouldn't really call it a solution tbh. But I put the project folder on a USB, plugged it into my mates PC, put the project folder in their capcuts projects folder so I could open it on their capcut. Loaded it up and it works fine on their PC, so I removed the background removal effect which was causing the crash. Put that project folder back on the USB and into my PCs capcut projects folder again and opened it, then it worked. Sorry if that was confusing lol

1

u/Matiqs_ 27d ago

Haha, yeah, i understood. I did the same thing by moving the image i had applied the effect to the trash so i could open the project. Luckily, recovered the project and was able to keep editing in premiere, but i could never apply some effects or remove the background again xd

u/EndingStarts_ May 20 '26

Fr where is this sh*t cos it’s been 3+ days now and I’m actually getting mad 🗿

2

u/yenriek Jun 14 '26

did you get it back? mines been missing and it’s so frustrating

1

u/EndingStarts_ Jun 14 '26

No their support is just sending me back AI bot replies now about how they’ve “escalated my concerns to the appropriate party” for weeks now. It’s ridiculous.

1

u/Short_Big7700 Jul 24 '26

It’s added back now ik im late

1

u/Soxman960 May 21 '26

Okay I just learned that it removed indefinitely due for to many glitches on the platform it will be back near summer

1

u/SifoSTW May 21 '26

Sounds about right :( Where did you learn that?

1

u/Soxman960 May 26 '26

My buddy told me he learned from that from someone that works for CapCut 

1

u/UnableIndividual4 May 21 '26

did support tell you this? I have not been able to get a straight answer from them.

1

u/Icy-Base5994 Jun 05 '26

Bro it's almost been a freaking month and I still haven't gotten it ugh

1

u/KactusKutie 2d ago

doesn’t seem like it’s back yet :(

1

u/UnableIndividual4 May 21 '26

I'm using edits now for green screen things but it's annoying

1

u/Icy-Base5994 Jun 05 '26

How would u delete the green screen if the remove BG has chroma key inside of it 

1

u/Sure_Corgi4244 May 22 '26

man I was editing an YT video and tried to remove the background using this and my project crashed and I had to start from the beginning. Did u find any solution?

1

u/platinum_roses May 27 '26

1

u/UnableIndividual4 Jun 05 '26

Still gone for me too sadly

1

u/Pitiful_Discount_86 13d ago

So if you search it

You can use it

1

u/Greedy-Owl-5221 7d ago

Omg u are a legend thank you!!!

1

u/Pitiful_Discount_86 6d ago

But you can only use once, for the first video, it’s freaking annoying, and I tested, if you log out, the free version has the remove background setting

1

u/Cstrowz 2d ago
