Your talking avatar

Free AI talking-avatar generator — no monthly fee, no minute cap, no watermark

Turn a portrait and a typed script into a video of the avatar speaking your words. Pick from 8 stock avatars covering a diverse range of genders, ages, and ethnicities, or upload your own photo (with a consent confirmation). The pipeline generates TTS via Kokoro multilingual and lip-syncs the mouth using Sync Lipsync v2. 174 voices across 37 languages are available. The MP4 downloads cleanly without a watermark and is suitable for commercial content when you own the rights to the portrait.

Training & onboarding videos

Create a consistent company avatar that delivers every training module in the same voice. Swap the script per module. Update a sentence once and re-render in a minute — no re-shooting.

Multilingual marketing

Translate one script into 37 languages and render the same avatar speaking each. Massively cheaper than hiring a VO actor per language, and consistent across markets.

Daily social-media clips

Creators who don't want to film daily can script a week of LinkedIn or YouTube Shorts with a stable avatar — same face, fresh script, zero lighting or mic setup required.

How to make a talking-avatar video

Pick a stock avatar or upload your own portrait

Eight stock presenters are pre-licensed for commercial use. If you upload your own face, check the consent box — this is a legal and platform-trust requirement.

Type the script

Up to 2000 characters per render — roughly 2-3 minutes of speech. Longer scripts should be split into separate takes for pacing and token-cost predictability.

Pick voice, language, and aspect

174 voices across 37 languages. 9:16 is best for Reels / Shorts / TikTok; 16:9 is best for YouTube / LinkedIn / webinar intros. Voice preview is available on /voice/tts/ if you want to A/B test.

Generate and download

Hit Generate. TTS plus lip-sync completes in 60-120 seconds. Download the MP4, share via one-click link, or leave the tab — the video is saved to your account dashboard when ready.

AI Video Avatar — FAQ

Turn a portrait photo plus a typed script into a talking-head video — the avatar speaks your words with lip-synced mouth movement. Two paths: pick from 8 pre-licensed stock avatars (diverse gender / age / ethnicity) or upload your own portrait with a mandatory consent confirmation. Voice and language come from our 174-voice Kokoro bank. The lip-sync runs on Sync Lipsync v2.

Yes inside the daily token pool. Cost scales with script length and render duration — roughly 2,500 tokens per second of output (TTS + lip-sync), with a 10,000-token minimum floor. A 20-second talking head costs about 50,000 tokens. The daily free pool covers short takes; paid plans or token packs cover longer explainer videos.

No — you can pick from 8 stock avatars (Elena, Marcus, Aisha, David, Mei, Raj, Sofia, James) that cover a range of genders, ages, and ethnicities. We hold commercial licenses for all of them. If you upload your own portrait instead, you must check the consent box confirming you have permission to animate that person's likeness.

37 languages via Kokoro TTS, including English (US / UK), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, and 24 more. The voice picker auto-syncs the language field when you select a voice. Lip-sync adapts convincingly to any language.

9:16 Portrait (default — best for Reels / TikTok / Shorts / Instagram Stories) and 16:9 Landscape (best for YouTube, LinkedIn, webinar intros, corporate training). The avatar sits in the frame appropriately for each — portrait framing on 9:16, medium shot on 16:9.

Up to 2,000 characters per render — roughly 2-3 minutes of continuous speech at a conversational 150 wpm pace. For longer productions (a 5-minute explainer, a 10-minute course module), split the script into multiple takes and stitch them together in any editor.

We use Sync Lipsync v2 — the same engine powering /video/dubbing/. It tracks mouth shape per phoneme and produces convincing sync for English and the major European languages. Accuracy stays natural on conversational pacing even for tonal languages like Mandarin and Thai, though fast / emphatic speech is the hardest case.

Yes — if you use a stock avatar (all 8 are pre-licensed for commercial use) or if you have rights to the uploaded portrait (your own face, a licensed stock photo, or explicit written consent). You must not impersonate real people without permission or misrepresent the avatar as a public figure. Platform terms require disclosure of AI-generated content where applicable (YouTube, TikTok).

If you upload a portrait, you must confirm you have the subject's consent to animate their likeness with spoken audio. This is enforced by the backend — the API rejects uploads without `consent_given=1`. Uploads clearly showing celebrities, political figures, or unconsented third parties are rejected. This is both a legal requirement and the platform's trust-and-safety policy.

174 voices across 37 languages via Kokoro. AI Video Avatar surfaces the most popular 14 inline; the full catalog is browsable at /voice/tts/. Preview any voice there before returning to render the avatar, so the voice-face match feels right.

D-ID, HeyGen, and Synthesia charge $5.90-$29/month with 10-15 included minutes, then overage rates. Free.ai has no monthly fee — you pay per render via our token system inside a daily free pool. Output quality is comparable (same class of TTS and lip-sync engines) and the free tier has no watermark.

Yes. POST JSON to /v1/video/avatar/ with `script`, `voice`, `language`, `avatar` (stock id like "stock_1") OR `avatar_url` + `consent_given=1`, and `aspect_ratio`. Pre-flight cost: GET /v1/video/avatar-quote/?chars=500. Full Python + Node + cURL snippets at /api/.
