About Us
Leading the Future of AI Video Generation
At HeyGen, our mission revolves around empowering individuals through accessible AI video generation. We believe that everyone should be able to express their creativity without the need for advanced equipment or unlimited resources to bring their ideas to life.
From Idea to
Innovation
HeyGen began with a straightforward concept—simplifying AI video creation. Today, we are revolutionizing storytelling through our AI video generation tools, enabling anyone to craft high-quality AI-generated videos effortlessly.
We live in a video-first world.
Every day, over 1 billion hours of videos are enjoyed on YouTube, and the average person consumes 17 hours of video each week. Consequently, any business aiming to engage customers must utilize AI videos. However, creating these videos often requires cameras, actors, locations, and extensive editing software. This can lead to finished videos costing $1,000 per minute or more.
And then AI came along.
People are drawn to video content, but many dislike being in front of the camera. This is a key insight that founder Joshua Xu discovered during his role as an engineer at Snap, where he developed features for Snapchat Ads and the AI camera. Thanks to AI video generation, anyone can now express their storytelling potential involving AI in storytelling. Removing the need for a physical camera opens up new possibilities for creativity and freedom in video creation. This is how HeyGen was born.
Now you only need a script.
With HeyGen, businesses can easily draft a script and generate their AI video. No need for a camera, no budget constraints, and no stress involved. We have supported over 45,000 companies and countless individuals in creating, localizing, and personalizing AI videos at scale — and we are just getting started.
As we set the standard for the ethical use of AI video generation tools, we are excited to lead the way towards more immersive AI experiences. This is just the beginning of an incredible journey.
