Key FeaturesFeatures of the digital human creator
Digital twin from a 15-second clip
Record a 15-second clip and HeyGen builds a persistent, photorealistic digital twin that holds your face, voice, and facial expressions across every scene. The Avatar V model separates identity from appearance, so you change outfits, settings, and camera angles without re-recording a single take.
500+ stock AI humans, zero filming
Create realistic digital humans without filming: choose from 1,000+ digital human characters ready to use, including 500+ highly realistic AI humans built from consented footage of real humans, so your brand content stays commercially safe across ads, training, and social channels.
Cloned voices that match your delivery
Give your digital human a voice that sounds like you, not like a text-to-speech engine. HeyGen uses AI voice cloning to capture tone, pacing, and accent from a short sample, then keeps that voice consistent across every script and language you publish.
Plain-English motion direction
Prompt the performance in plain English. Tell your presenter to look at the camera, lean in, or stay serious, and Custom Motion animates gaze, gesture, posture, and expression to match. One script becomes a measured executive update or a high-energy social cut.
Cinematic scenes for verified faces
Place your digital human inside cinematic footage with physics-accurate motion and director-level camera control. HeyGen is the only platform that runs Seedance 2.0 on real, verified human faces, so your twin can appear in brand films, ads, and B-roll with up to three avatars.
Use cases
Policy changes used to mean booking studios and reshooting modules. Edit the script in your training video workflow, regenerate, and redeploy the same presenter across hundreds of SCORM-compatible training and onboarding lessons in minutes.
Live talent needs scheduling, contracts, and reshoots. A digital human acts as a consistent virtual presenter and brand ambassador, delivering campaigns, announcements, and product explainers with the same face and voice every time.
Support pages bury answers in static text. An interactive digital human powered by LiveAvatar holds live conversations in real time, guiding customers through processes and cutting ticket volume without adding headcount.
Reps send the same generic email to a thousand prospects. A digital human records once and personalizes video messages for every account, lifting response rates without a single camera session.
Creators burn out filming daily posts. Feed scripts through a text to video workflow fronted by your digital human and publish consistent influencer-style video content for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok while staying off camera.
Localizing with agencies takes months per market. HeyGen translates your digital human into 175+ languages with lip-synced dubbing and a cloned voice, turning one recording into a global campaign overnight.
How it worksHow the digital human creator works
Create your own digital human in four steps that turn plain text into a finished, share-ready video in minutes.
Build a twin from a 15-second clip or choose one of 1,000+ stock digital humans.
Type or paste your message in the script interface. The engine sets pacing and natural delivery.
Customize voice, gaze, gestures, captions, and branding until the performance fits your audience.
Render in up to 4K and publish anywhere. Edit the script anytime to update the video instantly.
A digital human creator uses artificial intelligence to build human-like on-screen presenters, sometimes called virtual humans or digital avatars, from text, a photo, or a short clip. It runs inside an AI video generator that pairs the presenter with natural speech and phoneme-level facial animation, so a script becomes a finished video.
MetaHuman Creator builds fully rigged and ready 3D human characters for gaming, simulation, virtual worlds, architectural visualization, and film and television content, starting from presets, Mesh to MetaHuman, or a humanoid rig. HeyGen is an end-to-end video platform: you paste a script and get a finished presenter video, with no character pipeline to manage.
No. Game-engine pipelines animate characters with motion capture inside the Unreal Engine 5 renderer, a graphics workflow optimized for 3D projects. HeyGen runs in a web browser and generates the performance from your script, with no tutorials, rigs, or hardware specifications to meet.
Minutes, not days. Record a short video of about 15 seconds, submit a consent clip, and HeyGen builds a digital twin of your likeness. Some platforms take 24 hours to process a custom avatar; HeyGen renders most videos shortly after you submit the script.
Avatar V holds one coherent identity at full fidelity across wide, medium, and close-up shots with no drift, and G2 rates HeyGen #1 for the most realistic AI avatars. Generate a free test video with your own script and judge the output before you commit.
