Features
Hunyuan Avatar
Hunyuan Avatar is an advanced audio-driven avatar generation model that creates talking head videos from a single image and audio track. Upload a portrait and audio file, and the model generates a realistic video with synchronized lip movements, facial expressions, and natural head motion.
Why It Stands Out
- Audio-driven animation: Generates realistic talking head videos synced to any audio track.
- Single image input: Create animated avatars from just one portrait photo.
- Natural expressions: Produces lifelike facial movements, lip sync, and subtle head motion.
- Prompt support: Add optional prompts to guide style and expression. Use the Prompt Enhancer for optimization.
- Resolution options: Choose between 480p for faster processing or 720p for higher quality.
- Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| audio | Yes | Audio file for lip sync (upload or public URL). |
| image | Yes | Portrait image to animate (upload or public URL). |
| prompt | No | Optional text to guide expression or style. |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 480p or 720p (default: 480p). |
| seed | No | Set for reproducibility; leave empty for random. |
How to Use
- Upload your audio — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
- Upload a portrait image — provide a clear, front-facing photo.
- Add a prompt (optional) — describe desired expressions or style. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
- Select resolution — choose 480p for speed or 720p for quality.
- Click Run and wait for processing.
- Preview and download the animated avatar video.
Best Use Cases
- Virtual Presenters — Create AI spokespersons for videos and presentations.

Pro Tips for Best Quality
- Use clear, front-facing portrait photos with good lighting.
- Ensure the face is centered and not obscured by hair or accessories.
- Use high-quality audio with clear speech for best lip sync.
- Choose 480p for drafts and quick iterations, 720p for final delivery.
- Neutral expressions in the source image allow for more natural animation.
Notes
- Ensure uploaded audio and image URLs are publicly accessible.
- Maximum billable duration is 120 seconds (2 minutes) per job.
- Processing time varies based on audio length, resolution, and current queue load.
