AI yourself features
Your AI twin of yourself from a single clip
HeyGen creates your own AI twin from a single 15-second video using Avatar V, the most realistic model on the platform. It separates your identity from your appearance, so you can change your outfit, camera angle, and background later without recording anything again.

Control gestures and delivery simply by typing
Custom Motion lets you direct gaze, gestures, posture, and energy in simple English. Type "look at the camera, lean in, stay serious," and the same script becomes a calm executive update or a high-energy social clip without a single reshoot.

Your cloned voice in 175+ languages
HeyGen uses AI voice cloning to copy your voice from a short sample, then has your AI self speak in 175+ languages with phoneme-level AI lip-sync. Your tone stays consistent in every market, so audiences hear you, not a generic narrator.

Consistent AI photos of you, wherever you are
Avatar Look Packs generate a set of on-model photos of you in one tap, powered by Image N, HeyGen's image engine built for people. Get the same face across outfits and settings for thumbnails, profiles, and posts, instead of a random look every time.

Turn a single photo into a talking video
When you do not have any video footage of yourself, image to video converts a single still headshot into a presenter that moves, blinks, and speaks. Add a script, and the photo delivers your message with natural facial movements and accurate lip-sync every time.


Creators build a consistent social presence without having to film every day. Script your posts and generate them, and a talking photo made with an AI photo avatar covers the days you are not able to come on camera.

Traditional thought-leadership videos usually mean booking studio time for every new idea. Record your twin once, then publish announcements, insights, and explainers on a planned schedule, while your face and delivery stay exactly the same in every clip.

Filming a complete course usually means spending days in the studio and doing multiple reshoots for every edit. With your AI self, you can teach lessons, share feedback, and record modules, then simply correct any mistake by editing the script and regenerating the video.

Earlier, reaching global audiences meant re-recording in every language or hiring multiple voice artists. Now you can translate your video into 175+ languages with the AI video translator, while keeping your face, voice, and lip movements perfectly matched for every market.

Executives rarely have two hours free to shoot a company update. A digital twin can deliver town halls, policy changes, and internal messages on demand, so leadership communication stays timely without blocking everyone’s calendars for a studio session.

Blog posts and scripts remain as plain text while short videos get all the reach. Feed your written content into the AI video generator and your AI self will present it, turning a single article into multiple clips for every platform.
How to create your own AI avatar
Create an AI version of yourself in four simple steps, starting from a short clip to a finished video you can publish anywhere.
Record one short, front-facing video clip or upload a few clear photos so the model can learn your face.
Write what your AI self should say in any of 175+ languages. No recording or voice-over is required.
HeyGen creates a video that looks, moves, and sounds like you, with perfectly matched lip-sync.
Download in HD or 4K, translate into more languages, and post to social media or internal channels.
It means creating a digital character that looks, moves, and speaks like you, generated from your own photos or a short video. You then make videos by typing a script, instead of shooting each one on camera.
Record a single 15-second clip or upload a few clear photos, then type your script. HeyGen builds your twin with Avatar V and generates a video within minutes. Reuse the same identity across unlimited projects.
A single 15-second, front-facing video is enough to create a complete video twin. If you only have still photos, a small set of clear, well-lit images is sufficient for a photo-based avatar. Additional reference footage helps improve the sharpness and overall quality of the result.
Yes. Avatar V maintains a single consistent identity across wide, medium, and close-up shots with no drift, and it has been ranked #1 for the most realistic avatars on G2. Voice cloning matches your tone so the result is clearly recognisable as you.
Yes. Avatar Look Packs generate consistent photos of you in one tap using Image N, HeyGen's image engine built for people. Use them for thumbnails, profile photos, and posts with the same face every time.
Your AI self speaks 175+ languages and dialects while keeping the same face and voice. Change the script or run a translation, and the lip movement automatically re-syncs to the new language without needing a fresh recording.
You can start on the free plan and create a video version of yourself at no cost. Paid plans start at about $29 per month and include higher resolution, more minutes, and additional avatars for regular publishing.
Most tools require studio filming to build a custom avatar. HeyGen creates your twin from a 15-second clip, maintains your identity across long videos with no drift, and can place you inside cinematic scenes on a verified face.
Yes. Vision Creative Labs scaled clients from producing one or two videos a year to 50 to 60 per day after adopting HeyGen avatars, with one founder noting that he could script a weekly film and never have to step in front of a camera again.
Yes. Change the wording in the script and regenerate, or adjust scenes in the AI video editor, and your twin delivers the updated version instantly. There is no need to redo lighting, reshoot, or re-edit the raw footage.
A single generation pass produces up to 30 minutes of continuous talking-head video, with your likeness and voice maintained throughout. Full lessons, onboarding modules, and recorded talks are rendered without the need to stitch clips together.
Yes. Custom Motion follows simple English directions like "look at the camera, lean in, slow down," so a single script can work as either a serious update or a more upbeat clip. You control the performance without having to act it out yourself.
HeyGen builds avatars with consent, and enterprise data is excluded from model training by default. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, so your likeness and content remain fully under your control.
Camera-shy creators, founders building a personal brand, educators recording courses, and executives sending frequent updates benefit the most. Anyone who needs regular video but cannot shoot every day can still publish at scale.
