Made with this app
How it works
AI Talking Photo turns a single portrait into a short speaking video. Upload one photo, type a line of up to 400 characters, pick a voice from the library, and the app renders an MP4 where the face speaks your words in precise lip sync. No recording equipment, no editing software, no voice acting required. It is built for course creators, marketers, social media managers and anyone who needs a credible talking-head clip without a camera setup.

What you can make
Online Course Introductions
A course creator can upload a professional headshot, type a welcome message, and choose the British Educator voice to open each module. The result is a polished presenter clip that sets a consistent tone without booking studio time or repeating the same take.
Social Media Announcements
Brands that post regularly can turn a single brand photo into a short product announcement clip. Picking Energetic Creator or Upbeat Australian matches the upbeat register most social feeds reward, and the 400-character limit keeps the message tight enough to hold attention.
Multilingual Welcome Messages
Because the voices are multilingual, a business can type the same welcome line in French, Spanish or Japanese and the chosen voice speaks it in that language. One headshot serves every regional audience without re-shooting or hiring separate voice talent.
Internal Communications
HR teams and team leads can put a face to a company update without scheduling a recording session. A clear, well-lit photo paired with the Trusted Advisor or Steady Broadcaster voice gives an internal announcement the weight of a live address.
Personal Greeting Videos
Event organizers, coaches and consultants can attach a short personalized message to an email or landing page. The Warm Presenter or Friendly and Bright voice keeps the tone approachable, making the message feel direct rather than pre-recorded.

Tips for better results
Frame the Face Centrally
Upload a photo where the face is centred, forward-facing and takes up roughly half the frame. Profiles, extreme angles and faces near the edge of the image reduce lip-sync accuracy. A plain or softly blurred background keeps attention on the speaker.
Match Lighting to the Tone
Even, front-facing light produces the clearest facial detail for the app to work with. Harsh shadows across the mouth area in particular can soften sync quality. Natural window light or a simple ring light is more than enough.
Audition Voices Before Committing
Every voice tile in the library plays a sample clip of the same sentence so you can compare them on an equal footing. Listen to three or four before you decide: the same script sounds noticeably different in Calm and Neutral versus Expressive British.
Write for the Ear, Not the Page
Short sentences with natural pauses read more convincingly than dense prose. Punctuation shapes the rhythm: a period creates a beat, a comma shortens it. Stay within the 400-character limit and the delivery will feel conversational rather than rushed.
When to choose this app
Choose AI Talking Photo when you have a still portrait and a typed line: the app handles everything else, including the voice and the lip sync, with no audio file to prepare. OmniHuman v1.5 and Wan 2.2 S2V both require you to supply audio alongside the photo, which means you need a separate recording step before you can begin. Infini Talk is similarly audio-driven. AI Talking Photo removes that dependency entirely, making it the fastest path from a headshot to a finished speaking clip.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of photo works best?
A forward-facing portrait with the face centred and well-lit gives the best results. The mouth area should be clearly visible and unobscured. Group photos or images where the face is small relative to the frame are not suitable, as the app is built around a single speaker.
Can I use a photo of someone else?
You should only upload photos of people who have given their explicit consent to be animated. Arteza's terms prohibit generating content that misrepresents, impersonates or harms real individuals. When in doubt, use your own photo or one from a consenting subject.
How do I choose the right voice for my message?
Tap any voice tile to hear a sample clip. Every tile plays the same reference sentence, so you are comparing tone and character directly rather than guessing from a name. Listen to several before settling: the difference between Deep and Resonant and Bright Creator is significant for the same script.
Can I type my script in a language other than English?
Yes. The voices are multilingual. Type your line in French, Spanish, German, Japanese or any other supported language and the chosen voice will speak it in that language. The lip sync adjusts to the spoken output, not the English equivalent.
What format is the output and where does it go?
The app produces an MP4 video file. Once generation is complete you can download it from the results screen. The output dimensions are set by the app and are independent of the size of the photo you uploaded.
Do I need any editing skills?
No. Upload your photo, pick the look you want from the library, and the app writes the full instruction for you behind the scenes. There is nothing to install and nothing to configure. A small optional box lets you add one line in your own words, but the app works without it.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. Content you generate is yours to use, subject to our content licenses.
How long does a generation take?
Most generations finish in under a minute, and you can watch progress live in the gallery.
