AI yourself features
Your AI twin of yourself from a single clip
HeyGen builds your AI self twin from a single 15-second video using Avatar V, the most realistic model on the platform. It separates your identity from your appearance, so you can change outfit, camera angle and background later without recording anything again.

Direct gestures and delivery by typing
Custom Motion lets you direct gaze, gestures, posture, and energy in plain English. Type "look at the camera, lean in, stay serious", and the same script becomes a calm executive update or a high-energy social clip without a single reshoot.

Your cloned voice in 175+ languages
HeyGen uses AI voice cloning to copy your voice from a short sample, then has your AI self speak in 175+ languages with phoneme-level lip-sync. Your tone stays the same in every market, so audiences hear you, not a generic narrator.

Consistent AI photos of you, anywhere
Avatar Look Packs generate a set of on-model photos of you in one tap, powered by Image N, HeyGen's image engine built for people. Get the same face across outfits and settings for thumbnails, profiles and posts, not a random look each time.

Turn one photo into a talking video
When you have no footage of yourself, image to video animates a single still headshot into a presenter that moves, blinks, and speaks. Add a script, and the photo delivers your message with natural facial movement and accurate lip-sync every time.


Creators build a daily social presence without daily filming. Script your posts and generate them, and a talking photo made with an AI photo avatar covers the days you can’t get on camera.

Traditional thought-leadership video usually means booking studio time for every idea. Record your twin once, then publish announcements, insights and explainers on a schedule, while your face and delivery stay identical across every clip.

Filming a full course means days in the studio and reshoots for every edit. Teach lessons, give feedback, and record modules with your AI self, then fix a mistake by editing the script and regenerating.

Reaching global audiences once meant re-recording in each language or hiring voice actors. Translate your video into 175+ languages with the AI video translator, keeping your face, voice, and lip movement matched in every market.

Executives rarely have two hours to film a company update. A digital twin delivers town halls, policy changes and internal messages on demand, so leadership communication stays timely without blocking calendars for a studio session.

Blog posts and scripts stay as text while short video gets the reach. Feed written content to the AI video generator and your AI self presents it, turning one article into clips for every platform.
How to turn yourself into AI
Create an AI version of yourself in four steps, from a short clip to a finished video you can publish anywhere.
Film one short, front-facing clip or upload a few clear photos so the model learns your face.
Write what your AI self should say in any of 175+ languages. No recording or voice-over required.
HeyGen renders a video that looks, moves and sounds like you, with matched lip-sync.
Download in HD or 4K, translate into more languages, and post to social or internal channels.
It means creating a digital character that looks, moves, and speaks like you, generated from your own photos or a short video. You then make videos by typing a script instead of filming each one.
Record one 15-second clip or upload a few clear photos, then type a script. HeyGen builds your twin with Avatar V and generates a video in minutes. Reuse the same identity across unlimited projects.
A single 15-second, front-facing video is enough for a full video twin. If you only have stills, a small set of clear, well-lit photos works for a photo-based avatar. More reference footage improves the result.
Yes. Avatar V holds one identity across wide, medium, and close-up shots with no drift, and it ranked #1 for most realistic avatars on G2. Voice cloning matches your tone so the result is recognisably you.
Yes. Avatar Look Packs generate consistent photos of you in one tap using Image N, HeyGen's image engine built for people. Use them for thumbnails, profile photos, and posts with the same face every time.
Your AI self speaks 175+ languages and dialects while keeping the same face and voice. Change the script or run a translation, and lip movement re-syncs to the new language without needing a new recording.
You can start on the free plan and create a video version of yourself at no cost. Paid plans start from around $29 per month and include higher resolution, more minutes, and additional avatars for regular publishing.
Most tools need studio filming to build a custom avatar. HeyGen creates your twin from a 15-second clip, keeps your identity consistent across long videos with no drift, and can place you inside cinematic scenes on a verified face.
Yes. Vision Creative Labs scaled clients from one or two videos a year to 50 to 60 per day after adopting HeyGen avatars, with one founder noting he could script a weekly film and never step in front of a camera again.
Yes. Change the wording in the script and regenerate, or adjust scenes in the AI video editor, and your twin delivers the update again instantly. There is no need to relight, reshoot, or re-edit raw footage.
A single generation pass produces up to 30 minutes of continuous talking-head video with your likeness and voice maintained the whole time. Full lessons, onboarding modules and recorded talks render without stitching clips together.
Yes. Custom Motion takes plain-English direction like "look at the camera, lean in, slow down", so one script can read as a serious update or an upbeat clip. You set the performance without acting it out.
HeyGen builds avatars with consent, and enterprise data is excluded from model training by default. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, so your likeness and content stay controlled.
Camera-shy creators, founders building a personal brand, educators recording courses, and executives sending frequent updates benefit most. Anyone who needs regular video but can’t film every day can publish at scale.
