Generative fill technology for video footage
Photo editors use generative fill to expand static images. VEED brings that technology to video with AI that understands motion and temporal consistency. Our generative fill tool maintains coherence across video frames. Expand product demos to add space for CTAs. Resize vlogs from one platform format to another. All without sacrificing quality or losing key visuals. While most expansion tools work on clips up to 10 seconds long, AI Background Expand supports videos up to 1 minute in length.
Remove unwanted elements with a creative workaround
Someone walked through your shot? Clutter in the corner of your frame? Here's a workaround: crop your video to remove the unwanted element, then use our AI generative fill to restore the frame. The AI fills in the cropped area with a background that matches your scene. It's not traditional object removal, but it's effective for quick fixes like removing distracting elements on a frame's edge. For complete background replacement, you can try our AI background remover.
One generative fill tool, multiple video formats
Stop creating separate videos for each platform. Our generative fill online tool adapts one video to every format you need. Expand vertical videos to landscape for YouTube. Convert horizontal content to vertical for Stories. Resize square videos to widescreen for presentations. Social media managers can repurpose content faster while maintaining professional quality across platforms.

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.
