Generative Avatars

No photo? No problem. You can now generate an avatar based solely on a text prompt. Just add a description and we’ll generate ultra-realistic images. Then, you can add a script for your new avatar and watch it come to life.

AI Voice

Voice-Avatar Match

Our app now automatically recommends voices that best match each stock avatar, so you have the most realistic and natural-sounding character in your videos. Type the avatar name in the search bar to see the complementary voices. To make it easier and faster to cast your next video, you can now save voice-avatar pairs for reuse.

AI Voice

Over 700 voices

We’ve teamed up with ElevenLabs to add over 700 voices to our library. Use the new filter to search by language, accent, and emotion—like an excited, native Spanish speaker from Argentina. With more control and range, it’s easier to strike the right tone in every video.

AI Translator

Text Translate

Now we don't just translate your voice, we translate on-screen text, too. For any videos you want translated, HeyGen will automatically detect text in the video — such as captions and letters on whiteboards and street signs — and instantly translate while preserving the original styling.
