Free AI Video Generator

Yes, HeyGen is free to use. The free plan needs no credit card and gives you 3 videos a month, each up to a minute long, with a watermark. To export without one, upgrade to Creator for $29 a month ($24 billed yearly), which also adds 1080p export and videos up to 30 minutes. The free preview on this page has a separate limit: two 5-second clips a day at 480p or 768p.

You describe a shot, upload an image or add reference clips, and a video model trained on how motion, light and sound behave creates new frames to match. HeyGen Video 1 makes the soundtrack in the same pass, so dialogue and effects fit the picture. Video Agent can then plan several shots, add voiceover, captions and music, and join them into a finished video.

There are four main kinds. Text-to-video generators make a clip from a written prompt. Image-to-video generators animate a photo or product shot. Avatar generators create talking-head videos of a presenter, including a Personal Avatar of you. AI video editors change existing footage, from captions and trims to backgrounds and translation. HeyGen does all four in one workspace.

Speed, cost and reach. You skip the camera, crew, location and reshoots, edits take a sentence, and one video can be translated into 177+ languages. HeyGen customers show the difference: Advantive cut content creation time by 50%, Trivago cut post-production time by 50% across 30 markets, and teams spend 80% less on video translation.

Look at what the free plan actually gives you. HeyGen’s needs no credit card and makes 3 videos a month, up to a minute each, in 720p with a watermark. Avatar IV can even turn a photo into a talking video on the free plan. Paid plans from $29 a month remove the watermark and add Veo, Sora and Kling.

Most start free and then charge monthly, by credits. HeyGen’s free plan makes 3 videos a month with no credit card. Creator is $29 a month ($24 billed yearly), Pro is $49, Business is $149, and Enterprise is priced for you. Paid plans include monthly credits: you only spend credits when a video renders.

HeyGen, because it pairs its own models with the best of everyone else’s. HeyGen Video 1 generates the picture, dialogue and sound effects in one pass, keeps objects steady and follows real-world physics. HeyGen Voice 1 reads your script in your own voice and fits it to the scene. When a shot suits another engine, Seedance, Veo, Sora and Kling are in the same workspace.

HeyGen Video 1 (heygen-video-1), HeyGen’s own model, is built for realism. It creates the subject, setting, light and sound together, keeps objects the right size and in place, never lets them duplicate or vanish mid-shot, and follows real-world physics. Name a real camera body and lens and you get that depth of field and grain. For talking-head videos, your Personal Avatar on Avatar V keeps your face and micro-expressions consistent from wide shot to close-up.

Most AI video tools stop at the clip. HeyGen is a complete AI video workflow. It generates clips with sound, Video Agent writes the script and adds voiceover, captions and music, and you can bring in your Personal Avatar, edit any scene by chat or translate the finished video into 177+ languages, all in one project.

Marketing videos, video ads and UGC ads, product and promo videos, clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, full YouTube videos, explainer videos, training lessons, film previz, music videos and property walkthroughs, photoreal or animated. For marketing, make a video using AI from product photos or a brief, spin out UGC-style ads for each channel, keep them on-brand with a Brand Kit and translate them into 177+ languages.

For video, there’s HeyGen Video 1, Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, Veo 3.1, Sora 2, Kling AI, Wan, Gemini Omni Flash, Runway and Hailuo. For image generation, there’s Nano Banana and Seedream. They all run in the same HeyGen workspace, and third-party models need a paid plan. Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 require Pro, Business or Enterprise. The free preview on this page uses HeyGen Video 1 for two 5-second clips a day at 480p or 768p.

Yes. Use the same reference image and the same person, product or place appears in each shot, down to its colour and markings. Your Personal Avatar keeps your face and voice from one video to the next, Seedance 2.0 holds characters steady across cuts, and naming the same style in each prompt keeps a series looking like a series.

Yes. An image-to-video clip opens on your photo and brings it to life. Reference to video works from up to 9 images and 3 video clips and keeps the people and products in them. Avatar IV turns a photo into a talking video, and your own footage can go straight into the AI video editor.

Write at least a few hundred characters. Name the camera and lens instead of saying “cinematic”, describe the sound, spell out any on-screen text, and keep each shot to one subject doing one thing. If you need an exact look, upload an image to use as the first frame.

Yes. Tell Video Agent what to change and it revises only those scenes, or open AI Studio and edit by hand. Existing footage works too: upload it to the AI video editor to trim it by editing the transcript, add captions and subtitles, fill gaps with AI B-roll, change the background and resize it for each platform.

Yes, with HeyGen. Add the HeyGen app in ChatGPT, describe the video you need, and Video Agent produces it with avatars, motion graphics, B-roll and narration. You refine it by chatting, without leaving ChatGPT. The HeyGen MCP server brings the same Video Agent to Claude, Cursor and other AI assistants. Videos use your HeyGen credits.

Yes. Every clip comes with its own dialogue, ambience and effects. For the voiceover, clone your voice from a 60-second recording or choose from 300+ HeyGen voices across 177+ languages and dialects, with the accent, gender and age you want. You can also connect ElevenLabs or LMNT and use their voices inside HeyGen, then add background music, sound effects and captions.

Video output is an MP4 in 720p on Free, 1080p on Creator, and 4K on Pro and above, in 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 and other shapes. Download the file or share a link.

No editing skills required. HeyGen is beginner-friendly, and you use the AI video generator online: it runs in your browser and on iPhone and Android, there’s nothing to download, and you can edit any video just by chatting. Start with one simple prompt, then open AI Studio when you want full control, scene by scene.

Generated clips are short: 5 to 15 seconds each with HeyGen Video 1, which Video Agent joins into longer videos. Talking-head videos with your Personal Avatar have no such cap, so a lesson or a webinar can run the full length your plan allows: up to a minute on Free, 30 minutes on Creator and Pro, 60 on Business, and as long as you like on Enterprise. HeyGen Video 1 does best with simple, contained shots. It struggles with long on-screen text, soft movement like hair and paper, and close-up hand work, so add small print as real text in the editor. Every video goes through moderation, and a Personal Avatar needs the person’s consent.

Yes. You can use HeyGen videos for ads and client work when your inputs and videos follow HeyGen’s content and copyright guidelines.
