How to Make a Talking Avatar from Any Photo Using AI
Make a Talking Avatar from Any Photo
A talking avatar takes a still portrait photo and animates it to speak with any audio you provide. The result is a realistic video where your photo appears to talk, smile, blink, and move naturally. Here's how to create one in under 2 minutes.
What Works Best for Talking Avatars
- Best images: Clear front-facing portraits, good lighting, neutral expression
- Also works: Profile photos, illustrations, AI-generated portraits, even historical photos
- Best audio: Clear speech, minimal background noise, MP3 or WAV format
Step-by-Step Guide
1
Upload your portrait photo
Go to the 🧑 Talking Avatar tab and upload your image or paste a URL.
2
Upload your speech audio
Upload an MP3 or WAV recording of the speech you want the avatar to say. You can record this on any phone.
