    Type the text you want your animated person to say. Be clear and concise for the best audio generation and lip-sync results.

  3. 3

    Generate Your Video

    With a single click, the AI will animate your photo, generating a voice and synchronizing the lip movements to match your script.

  4. 4

    Download Your Video

    Your talking video is ready. Download the MP4 file and share your creation across your social channels, website, or presentations.

Upload a portrait, headshot, or even a drawing, and our technology will animate the face with realistic expressions and synchronized lip movements. It's the perfect way to make your content more engaging without needing a camera or a live actor.
