HeyGen January 2026 product release

In January, we shipped updates that touch every part of the HeyGen experience — from the moment you create your avatar to the way you produce, edit, and export your videos. A rebuilt avatar creation flow gets you started in seconds. A new production tool turns your ideas into fully produced video. A redesigned script panel gives you more control in the editor. And two new plans make sure nothing slows you down, whether you're a solo creator or scaling across a team.

Updates to HeyGen premium features and credits

HeyGen is overhauling how credits work based on user feedback that the system was confusing. The key changes: "Generative Credits" are now called "Premium Credits," features that cost credits are clearly labeled "Premium" throughout the product, users see upfront cost estimates before generating, and the platform suggests credit-free alternatives when you're running low. Audio dubbing is now unlimited (no longer costs credits). Premium features include Avatar IV, Video Translation with lip-sync, Video Agent, AI-generated avatar looks, and B-roll from Sora 2/Veo 3.1. Core features like Avatar III, Audio Dubbing, Video Agent Essential mode, and stock content remain unlimited for paid users. The long-term goal is to move more features from premium to unlimited as model efficiency improves.
