No-risk -
try before you buy

A watermarked, full-resolution copy of every InstaBackground is available for instant download. That way you can try it out in your project and see if it works. One you've found the right image, you can then purchase the un-watermarked version.

4K or HD?
It's your choice

All InstaBackgrounds are available in your choice of two resolutions:
HD - 1920x1080
or
4K - 4096x2160

Unlimited ways to customize InstaBackgrounds in your NLE

Zoom, pan, crop, rotate,
colorize, flip, darken, lighten, add more blur, vignette, grade, add contrast, change saturation . . .

Nat-sound audio

To further ensure the compositing effect is believable, most InstaBackrounds include nat-sound audio that you can use – or not use – it’s your choice.

Enjoy shallow
Depth-of-Field
wth any camera

InstaBackgrounds offer the pleasing look of shallow-depth-field that only a real lens can produce -- creamy bokeh on out-of-focus elements, and just the right amount of image grain and moving texture, that you’ll never be able to get with still photos or freeze frames.

Realistic Backgrounds

InstaBackgrounds look real, because they are real. Most of our backgrounds are shot in real locations with state-of-the art, super-35mm 4K cameras and high-end cinema lenses.
