AI video generation with realistic talking avatars
About HeyGen
HeyGen is an AI video generation platform built around photorealistic talking avatars and industry-leading video translation capabilities. Users can create videos from text scripts using a library of AI avatars, or upload their own image to create a personalized digital avatar. HeyGen's standout feature is its Video Translation tool β capable of dubbing any uploaded video into 40+ languages while cloning the speaker's original voice and synchronizing lip movements to the new audio, enabling true localization rather than simple subtitling. The platform also includes an Instant Avatar feature for creating a real-time interactive version of a custom avatar for live presentations and meetings. HeyGen is used by companies including Zoom, Coca-Cola, and major content creators for video production and global content localization at scale.
