Download ProMatte
ProMatte provides a local AI background removal filter for OBS Studio that processes camera frames entirely on your computer without sending data to external servers. The plugin offers seven background modes including removal, blur, solid color replacement, image replacement, video replacement, another OBS source replacement, and dimming. A model generates a per-pixel matte that undergoes joint-bilateral upsampling, feathering, decontamination and halo removal before compositing. GPU acceleration through DirectML supports NVIDIA, AMD and Intel hardware with CPU fallback.
Six presets tune the balance between matte quality and processing speed for scenarios such as webcam use, talking-head recording, gaming streams, high-quality recording, low-end hardware, and green screen replacement. Auto quality mode measures hardware capability and selects appropriate model and resolution settings, remembering the result for future sessions. The render thread never waits for inference because a separate thread computes mattes with a latest-frame-wins mailbox system. Model Manager handles download, checksum verification and selection of AI models, with five models bundled under permissive licences.
The plugin is developed by Hakeemify and licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later. Version 1.0.2 runs on Windows with end-to-end verification, loads and removes backgrounds on Apple Silicon macOS without benchmark data, and builds and loads on Linux without having been run inside a real OBS session. All published performance measurements come from a single 2017 laptop with an Intel i7-7500U and GeForce 940MX running Windows 11. The software collects no telemetry, requires no account, and makes no network requests other than model downloads initiated by the user.
