About Us
HeyGen Leading Future
of AI Video Generation
At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Because we believe that you shouldn't need fancy equipment or infinite resources to share your best ideas.
From Idea to
Innovation
HeyGen started with a simple idea—making video creation effortless. Today, we’re transforming storytelling with AI, empowering anyone to create high-quality videos without limits.
We live in a video-first world.
Over 1 billion hours of videos are watched daily on YouTube, and the average person watches 17 hours of video each week.
So if a business wants customers, it needs videos. And videos need cameras — and actors, locations, editing software, reshoots… between all of that, finished videos can cost $1,000 per minute. At least.
And then AI came along.
People love video. But most people hate being on camera. That's what founder Joshua Xu discovered when he was an engineer at Snap, building features for SnapChat Ads and the AI camera.
But with AI video generation, everyone can unleash their inner storyteller — removing the camera actually unlocks creativity and freedom in visual storytelling. And so HeyGen was born.
Now you only need a script.
With HeyGen, businesses can simply write their script and generate their video. No camera, no budget, no headaches. We've helped over 45,000 companies and millions of people create, localize, and personalize videos at scale — and we're just getting started.
As we set industry standards for the ethical use of AI video, and lead the charge towards more immersive AI experiences, we know this is only the beginning. We're excited to see where this story goes.
