Want to add a personal touch to your videos in just minutes? You can create your own Photo Avatar, a digital version of yourself or someone else, based on an image. These avatars can narrate your videos, bring scripts to life, and add that engaging, human element that keeps audiences watching.
A Photo Avatar begins with a high-quality image. Upload a clear photo and HeyGen’s AI will generate a lifelike avatar that looks, moves, and speaks just like a real presenter. Once your avatar is created, you can assign it a voice, either selecting one from HeyGen’s voice library or letting the system match it automatically. From there, your avatar is ready to step into any video project.
Customization gives you the ability to fine-tune how your avatar shows up on screen. You can edit the avatar to remove its background, adjust the voice style or pacing, and refine details until you’re satisfied. Once saved, your Photo Avatar is always available to use inside AI Studio. You can start a new video with your avatar as the presenter or select it as the avatar in any existing project.
To keep your content fresh, HeyGen lets you generate additional Looks, variations in outfit, background, or pose that help your avatar adapt to different contexts. You can create and store up to 100 Looks, making it easy to reuse your avatar across a wide range of scenarios. Adding Motion takes it a step further, animating your Photo Avatar with natural gestures and expressions. You can even guide the motion with prompts, choosing between a consistent style for smoother, cinematic delivery or an expressive style for more dynamic, lifelike results.
Photo Avatars are a powerful way to stand out. Instead of static visuals, your videos gain a personal touch with an avatar that feels connected to your brand and your story. Whether you’re building courses, sharing updates, or creating social media content, you’ll have an on-screen presence that’s always available, always polished, and always on brand.
