HeyGen is an AI video creation platform that helps users create professional videos using AI avatars, voices, scripts, images, and other content. It allows people to produce videos without cameras, actors, or traditional video equipment. HeyGen is designed for creators, marketers, educators, sales teams, and businesses that need to create and localize video content quickly.
HeyGen can turn written scripts into videos featuring realistic AI presenters. Users can choose stock avatars, create a digital version of themselves, generate videos from photos, clone voices, and control how an avatar speaks and moves. It can be used for marketing videos, social media content, product demonstrations, training, tutorials, presentations, and sales videos.
The platform is also useful for reaching international audiences. HeyGen can translate existing videos or create new avatar videos in more than 175 languages and dialects, with AI voice generation and synchronized lip movements. It also supports personalized videos, interactive avatars, and AI-powered video creation from a single prompt.
Avatar V is HeyGen's latest avatar generation model, designed to create highly realistic digital people with consistent faces, expressions, gestures, and movement. It can learn how a person looks and behaves from video and then reproduce that identity across different videos and camera angles.
Avatar IV is an AI avatar generation model that can turn scripts, images, and digital presenters into talking videos. It supports realistic speech, facial expressions, gestures, and lip synchronization, making it useful for marketing, education, presentations, and social media content.
AI Video Agent lets users describe the video they want in natural language and automatically creates a finished video. It is designed to reduce manual video production by handling tasks such as planning, visuals, editing, and presentation from a single prompt.
AI Video Translation translates videos into more than 175 languages and dialects while maintaining the original speaker's voice style and synchronizing translated speech with facial movements. This makes it useful for multilingual marketing, training, education, and global communications.
AI Voice & Voice Cloning provides AI-generated voices for video narration and allows users to create voice clones. HeyGen supports more than 1,000 AI voices on its platform, with voice cloning available on paid plans.
Photo Avatars can turn a single photograph into a talking digital presenter. Users can upload an image, add a script, select a voice, and create a video without recording a full performance.
Digital Twins / Instant Avatars allow users to create a reusable AI version of themselves from a short recording. The avatar can reproduce the user's appearance, voice, expressions, and movements for future videos without requiring another recording.
Interactive Avatars can communicate with viewers in real time and respond to questions using connected scripts, knowledge bases, or AI systems. They can be used for customer support, sales, training, lead qualification, and other interactive experiences.
