With HeyGen, you can create stunning avatars entirely from text, no camera, no photos, and no design experience required. Using AI, you can generate and animate fully fictional Photo Avatars with unlimited Looks, different poses, outfits, and environments that bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re envisioning a hyper-realistic professional, a stylized animated character, or someone set in a completely imagined world, your creativity sets the limits.
To begin, open the Avatars tab from the left navigation panel and click Create New Avatar. Then, select Generate. This opens a text field where you can describe your desired avatar. The more specific and detailed your prompt, the better the results. Start with key features such as facial structure, hairstyle, and expression, then include attire, setting, or even mood. For example: “A confident businesswoman with shoulder-length dark hair, wearing a navy suit, standing in a modern office with warm lighting.” The richer your description, the closer the output will match your vision.
Once your description is ready, click Generate Preview to view initial results. You can refine the look by editing your prompt or clicking Generate Again for more variations. When you find an avatar that fits your style, select it and click Save to add it to your collection. For your first creation, choosing the “Realistic” style is recommended, it provides flexibility for generating more stylized versions later.
After saving your avatar, you can expand its versatility by generating additional Looks. Open your avatar, click Train Model, and once the AI model is ready, enter a short prompt describing a new pose or scene. For example: “Change avatar pose to be seated at a restaurant” or “Avatar standing outdoors with a coffee cup.” Each prompt generates a new Look, ready to be animated or used in different projects.
Once your avatars are generated and animated, they’re ready to be added directly into your videos or presentations. Simply move them into your project, position them within your scene, and you’re set. Each avatar is fully customizable, allowing you to maintain consistency across content while exploring new creative directions.
With text-to-avatar generation, HeyGen turns your imagination into motion. Every word you write can become a face, a gesture, or a character, making it easier than ever to visualize ideas, tell stories, and create videos that feel alive.
