What Is Background Removal?
Background Removal is a feature in Fiesta that replaces the background behind guests with a selected Virtual Background during their capture. This feature is available in the Effects tab for iPad and DSLR Events.
Background Removal includes two removal methods: Green Screen and AI Background Removal. Both methods support Virtual Backgrounds for Photo, GIF, Boomerang, Video, and Slo-Mo captures.
Note: Background Removal is only available on the Fiesta Pro subscription tier.
Note: AI Background Removal is free for a limited time.

What To Know
Green Screen
Green Screen is a Background Removal method that uses a physical blue or green screen backdrop to remove the background behind guests and replace it with a selected Virtual Background. This removal method also includes controls for selecting the Green Screen Color and adjusting the color replacement Tolerance.
Green Screen results depend on the physical backdrop's color, lighting on the backdrop, and Tolerance settings. Even lighting and a clearly visible green or blue screen backdrop help create cleaner background replacement results for captures.
How To
Adjust Green Screen Color And Tolerance
- Log in to the Fiesta iOS App
- Select an iPad or DSLR event
- Select Configure Event
- Select the Effects tab
- Select Background Removal
- Select Green Screen
- Select Edit Green Screen Color & Tolerance
- Tap the area of the Live Preview where the green or blue screen backdrop is clearly visible
- Adjust the Tolerance slider until the desired result appears
- Select Save
What To Know
AI Background Removal
AI Background Removal uses AI processing directly on the iPad to separate guests from their surroundings in real time without a physical green screen. This removal method is designed for events that need background replacement without additional backdrop setup, or when a physical green screen backdrop is not available.
Because processing runs directly on the iPad, AI Background Removal can be used with or without an internet connection.
Note: AI Background Removal is free for a limited time.
What To Know
Live Preview And Guest Experience
Background Removal displays the selected Virtual Background in real time during the capture process. Guests preview the effect before taking their capture, which helps confirm how the final capture output will appear.
When one Virtual Background is added to an event, that background is applied to captures automatically.
When multiple Virtual Backgrounds are added, guests can browse the available options and select a preferred background before taking their captures.
