Key FeaturesKey features of the digital human creator
Digital twin from a 15-second video clip
Record a 15-second clip and HeyGen builds a persistent, photorealistic digital twin that captures your face, voice, and facial expressions across every scene. The Avatar V model separates identity from appearance, so you can change outfits, settings, and camera angles without re-recording even a single take.
500+ ready-to-use AI humans, no filming needed
Create realistic digital humans without any filming: choose from 1,000+ ready-to-use digital human characters, including 500+ highly realistic AI humans built from consented footage of real people, so your brand content remains commercially safe across ads, training, and social channels.
Cloned voices that match your speaking style
Give your digital human a voice that sounds like you, not like a text-to-speech engine. HeyGen uses AI voice cloning to capture tone, pacing, and accent from a short sample, and then keeps that voice consistent across every script and language you publish.
Clear, easy-to-understand motion direction
Describe the performance in simple English. Tell your AI spokesperson to look at the camera, lean in, or stay serious, and Custom Motion will animate gaze, gestures, posture, and expressions to match. One script can become a measured executive update, a podcast episode, or a high-energy social media cut.
Cinematic scenes for verified faces
Place your digital human inside cinematic footage with physics-accurate motion and director-level camera control. HeyGen is the only platform that runs Seedance 2.0 on real, verified human faces, so your twin can appear in brand films, adverts, and B-roll with up to three avatars.
Use cases
Policy changes earlier meant booking studios and reshooting modules. Now you can simply edit the script in your training video workflow, regenerate, and redeploy the same presenter across hundreds of SCORM-compatible training and onboarding lessons within minutes.
Live talent requires scheduling, contracts, and reshoots. A digital human serves as a consistent virtual presenter and brand ambassador, delivering campaigns, announcements, and product explainers with the same face and voice every time.
Support pages often hide answers in long blocks of static text. An interactive digital human powered by LiveAvatar can have live conversations in real time, guiding customers through processes and reducing ticket volume without increasing headcount.
Sales reps send the same generic email to a thousand prospects. A digital human records once and then personalises video messages for every account, increasing response rates without needing a single camera session.
Creators often burn out filming daily posts. Run your scripts through a text-to-video workflow fronted by your digital human and publish consistent, influencer-style video content for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok while staying off camera.
Working with agencies for localisation can take months for each market. HeyGen converts your digital human into 175+ languages with lip-synced dubbing and a cloned voice, transforming a single recording into a global campaign overnight.
How it worksHow the digital human creator works

Create a twin from a 15-second clip, or choose from over 1,000 stock digital humans.
Type or paste your message in the script interface. The engine will automatically set the pacing and natural delivery.
Customise the voice, gaze, gestures, captions, and branding until the performance suits your audience.
Render in up to 4K and publish anywhere. Edit the script at any time to update the video instantly.
A digital human creator uses artificial intelligence to build human-like on-screen presenters, sometimes called virtual humans or digital avatars, from text, a photo, or a short clip. It runs inside an AI video generator that pairs the presenter with natural speech and phoneme-level facial animation, so a script becomes a finished video.
MetaHuman Creator builds fully rigged and production‑ready 3D human characters for gaming, simulation, virtual worlds, architectural visualisation, and film and television content, starting from presets, Mesh to MetaHuman, or a humanoid rig. HeyGen is an end‑to‑end video platform: you paste a script and get a finished presenter video, with no character pipeline to manage.
No. Game-engine pipelines animate characters with motion capture inside the Unreal Engine 5 renderer, a graphics workflow optimised for 3D projects. HeyGen runs in a web browser and generates the performance from your script, with no tutorials, rigs, or hardware specifications to meet.
Minutes, not days. Record a short video of around 15 seconds, submit a consent clip, and HeyGen creates a digital twin of your likeness. Some platforms take 24 hours to process a custom avatar; HeyGen renders most videos shortly after you submit the script.
Avatar V maintains one consistent identity at full fidelity across wide, medium, and close-up shots with no drift, and G2 ranks HeyGen #1 for the most realistic AI avatars. Generate a free test video with your own script and review the output before you decide to go ahead.
Yes. Generate a new face from a text prompt, or upload a photo and bring it to life. Avatar V handles photorealistic humans, while Avatar IV lets you stylise cartoon, 2D, and 3D digital characters for brands that prefer a non-human presenter. You can also change the face whenever a campaign needs a fresh look, while keeping the same voice.
Yes. HeyGen translates your digital human into 175+ languages and dialects with lip-synced AI dubbing and your cloned voice, so a single English recording can carry your message into every market where you sell.
