Create AI videos with avatars, narration, captions, and animations

About HeyGen
HeyGen creates AI videos from text, images, or audio. It is designed for social content, online courses, legal, finance, and real estate use cases, without requiring a camera, editing software, or production skills.
Its AI avatars can generate presenter footage with consistent identity, multiple camera angles, voice-synced emotion, and lip-sync across 175+ languages and dialects. Video Agent generates a finished video from a prompt, while AI Studio lets users edit motion elements, text, color, timing, and layout after generation.
HeyGen offers free sign-up and provides options to download, edit, and share generated videos. A demo can also be booked.
