What it creates

A talking photo generator for creators who already have the voice.

Start with a clear face and a voice source. The renderer aligns mouth shapes, jaw motion, and expression timing so the portrait speaks like a finished video.

Use it when recording another camera take would slow the idea down: product demos, founder updates, podcast clips, course lessons, internal explainers, and localized announcements.

Use cases

Choose it when the message is ready but filming another clean take would cost time.

Podcast host portrait, selected audio clip, and generic short video reel preview
Podcast repurposing
Turn the best answer from a long episode into a face-led reel. The host's portrait speaks the original audio, ready for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.

Founder-led marketing
Pair a founder voice memo with a clean portrait to ship product updates, launch demos, and sales follow-ups without waiting for a studio slot.
One portrait connected to multiple colored voice tracks and localized talking video previews
Multilingual localization
Keep one approved brand face and generate regional clips from translated voice tracks. Useful for short announcements, help videos, and campaign variants.
How to use

Make a talking photo in three focused steps.

Bring the face, choose the voice source, then export the finished MP4.

Front-facing portrait upload frame with alignment guides and upload confirmation
01
Upload the portrait
Use a clear front-facing photo with good lighting. One frame is enough for the avatar workflow.
Audio waveform card and abstract script card feeding a portrait preview
02
Add audio or a script
Upload a voiceover file, paste a hosted audio URL, or write a short script and generate speech inside the form.
Rendered talking photo preview with timeline, export file card, and success indicator
03
Render the MP4
Generate the talking photo, preview the result, and download a share-ready MP4 for your next post, lesson, or product update.
Photo avatar controls

Control the details that make a still face feel spoken.

The page stays simple, but the render still respects voice timing, identity, input choice, and export needs.

Voice-led mouth movement
Mouth shapes, jaw motion, and small expression changes follow the rhythm of the audio instead of looping a generic talking animation. Plosives, pauses, and stressed syllables each land on their own frame, so the timing reads as real speech. Quiet stretches let the face settle instead of forcing constant motion.
Audio waveform timing connected to mouth shape frames for voice-led facial motion
One portrait, steady identity
A single clear reference photo anchors the render, so the same face stays consistent while the speaking motion changes. Skin tone, facial structure, and features hold from the first frame to the last, so the portrait never drifts or morphs as the expression moves.
Reference portrait connected to consistent generated frames with identity lock and check indicators
Audio file or text script
Start from a recorded voiceover when you have one, or draft a short script and generate speech before rendering the avatar video. Upload an audio file, paste a hosted audio URL, or type the lines directly — whichever way the message already exists.
Audio file and abstract script input cards flowing into a portrait video preview
Share-ready MP4 output
Download a clean MP4 for demos, social clips, lessons, and localized announcements without rebuilding the sequence in a timeline editor. Export at 720p or 1080p in 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1, so one render drops straight into landscape, vertical, and square feeds.

How it works

Audio analysis to MP4 in three stages.

What happens between your upload and the final lip-synced video.

Creator desk scene with audio waveform, timing markers, and mouth shape tiles
01
Audio analysis
The model extracts phonemes, prosody, and pacing from your audio at 50 frames per second, so every plosive and pause lines up with a target mouth shape.
Portrait monitor with face mesh, animation frames, and identity lock overlay
02
Identity-locked animation
Your reference image is converted to an articulated face mesh. Mouth, jaw, and micro-expressions move while the rest of the identity stays held in place.
Finished talking photo preview with render timeline, waveform, file icon, and download control
03
Rendering and export
Frames render in real time and assemble into a clean MP4. Your audio is muxed in at the original bitrate — no synthesized voice swap.
Customer voices

Teams ship video without booking a studio anymore.

Specific results from podcast hosts, marketers, and indie creators.

We cut a four-hour video repurposing pass down to twelve minutes per episode. Six short-form clips per show, all lip-synced to the host, no extra recording day.

I keep one reference photo and feed in scripts as voice notes. Posting cadence went from twice a week to daily without burning out on camera.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It turns one still portrait into a video where the face speaks. Upload a single front-facing photo, add an audio file or a short script, and the generator animates mouth shapes, jaw motion, and subtle expression to match the voice. The face stays the same person — only the speaking motion is generated — and you download the result as an MP4.
