Features

Transform any portrait into a realistic talking avatar with Avatar Omni Human. Simply upload a photo and an audio clip, and watch the subject come to life with perfectly synchronized lip movements, natural expressions, and lifelike head motion — ideal for virtual presenters, digital content, and personalized video messages.

Why It Looks Great

  • Realistic lip sync: Advanced audio analysis ensures precise mouth movements matching every syllable.
  • Natural expressions: Generates authentic facial expressions and subtle head movements.
  • Simple workflow: Just two inputs — an image and audio — for complete avatar generation.
  • High fidelity: Preserves the original portrait’s likeness and quality.
  • Versatile audio support: Works with speech, singing, and various audio types.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
imageYesPortrait image of the person to animate (upload or public URL).
audioYesAudio file for lip synchronization (upload or public URL).
enable_base64_outputNoAPI only: Returns base64 string instead of URL.

How to Use

  1. Upload your image — drag and drop a clear portrait photo or paste a public URL.
  2. Upload your audio — add the speech or audio you want the avatar to perform.
  3. Run — click the button to generate.
  4. Download — preview and save your talking avatar video.

Best Use Cases

  • Virtual Presenters — Create AI spokespeople for videos, presentations, and training content.
  • Personalized Messages — Generate custom video messages from a single photo.
  • Content Localization — Dub content into different languages with matching lip movements.
  • Social Media Content — Produce engaging talking-head videos without filming.
  • E-learning & Training — Create instructor-led content from static presenter images.
  • Digital Avatars — Bring character portraits and illustrations to life with speech.

Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Use clear, front-facing portrait photos with good lighting for best lip sync accuracy.
  • Ensure the face is clearly visible and not obscured by hair, accessories, or shadows.
  • High-quality audio with minimal background noise produces more accurate synchronization.
  • Neutral or slightly open mouth expressions in the source image work best.
  • The subject’s face should be a reasonable size in the frame — not too small or cropped.
  • Test with shorter audio clips first before processing longer content.

Notes

  • If using URLs for image or audio, ensure they are publicly accessible.
  • The enable_base64_output option is only available through the API.
  • Processing time scales with audio duration.
  • Best results come from portrait-style images with clear facial features.
  • Works with various audio formats — speech, narration, singing, and more.
