Everyone has a story. HeyGen lets you tell it.
Why we’re building HeyGen: from idea to innovation
HeyGen began with a simple idea—making video creation effortless. Today, we’re transforming storytelling with AI, empowering everyone to create high-quality videos without limits.
We live in a video-first world
Over 1 billion hours of video are watched on YouTube every day, and the average person watches 17 hours of video each week. So, if a business wants to attract customers, it needs videos. And videos need cameras—not to mention actors, locations, editing software, reshoots, and more. With 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 while working as an engineer at Snap, where he built features for Snapchat Ads and the AI camera. With AI video generation, however, everyone can unleash their inner storyteller — removing the camera can actually unlock creativity and freedom in visual storytelling. And so HeyGen was born.
Now, all you need is a script
With HeyGen, businesses can simply write their script and generate their video. No camera, no budget, no headaches. We've helped over 100,000 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.
Built for the best, backed by the best
HeyGen is proud to have the support of leading investors, including Benchmark, Conviction, Thrive Capital, and Bond, who share our vision of transforming storytelling through AI-powered video.

What does HeyGen’s AI dubbing tool do?
