HeyGen

What it does

HeyGen is an AI video platform that creates videos with avatars from text, images, audio, PDFs, or presentations. It offers lifelike avatars, accurate lip-sync, voice cloning, and translation across 175+ languages and dialects. It is built for creators, marketers, and teams who need presenter-led videos without a camera or crew.

HeyGen turns a script or an uploaded file into a presenter-led video. You pick an avatar, and the platform generates the video with lip-sync and gestures. The Video Translation tool keeps your tone and syncs lips across 175+ languages and dialects, which helps teams reach global audiences. The text-based editor in AI Studio works like writing a document, so you can control tone, delivery, and pacing from the script. The free plan allows 3 videos per month, each up to 1 minute, with access to Avatar IV and 500+ stock video avatars. Paid plans start at $29 per month for Creator, which adds 600 credits, 1080p export, voice cloning, and 175+ languages. Pro costs $49 per month and adds 4K export and 1,000 credits. Business costs $149 per month with additional seats at $20 each. Before choosing a plan, check credit limits and export resolutions, and confirm that avatar training and voice cloning meet your privacy needs. The site states that every custom avatar requires on-camera identity verification from the person depicted.
