The Green Screen Background (Free) tool instantly turns your screen into a clean, solid green backdrop. You can stand in front of it for photos, place it behind you during video calls, or use it as a quick virtual background for livestreams and recordings.
Unlike traditional green screen setups, this tool runs entirely in your browser—no apps to install, no accounts to create, and it works on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and all modern desktop browsers.
Step-by-Step: How to Use the Green Screen Background
Step 1: Open the Tool
Go to the Green Screen Background (Free) page. The tool loads instantly in your browser with a bright green background.
Step 2: Tap “Enter Fullscreen”
Click or tap the Enter Fullscreen button. The page switches into a CSS-only fullscreen mode using
position: fixed; inset: 0;, so the green background fills the entire visible screen.This approach does not rely on the browser Fullscreen API, which can be unreliable for div elements on mobile devices.
Step 3: Rotate Your Device (Optional)
For phones and tablets, rotate your device to landscape to get a wider green area. Place the device on a stand or prop it up behind you so the screen is fully visible.
Step 4: Use It for Photos or Video Calls
Stand or sit in front of the green screen and take photos or record video with your main camera. You can also use the screen as a background behind you during Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls.
The solid green color makes it easier for virtual background features and background blur to isolate you from the background.
Step 5: Show / Hide Controls
While in fullscreen mode, the Home and Exit Fullscreen buttons auto-hide after a few seconds. Move your mouse or tap the screen to reveal them again, so your photos and videos stay clean with no visible UI.
Step 6: Exit Fullscreen
When you’re done, tap the Exit Fullscreen button. The tool returns to normal page mode with the header, description, and fullscreen button visible again.
Tips for Best Green Screen Results
- Use consistent lighting: Try to light the green screen evenly to avoid bright hotspots or dark shadows.
- Keep distance: Stand a little away from the screen to reduce green spill on your clothes or skin.
- Avoid green clothing: Any green elements on you will also be treated as background by most virtual background tools.
- Lock device orientation: On mobile, locking rotation after switching to landscape can keep the background stable.
