Make a Photo Talk FAQ
How do I make a photo talk?
Open a portrait, add a voice clip and press Make it talk. The mouth moves with the speech, and you can watch the video and download it as an MP4.
What photos work best?
One face looking at the camera, with the mouth visible and not covered. Photos with several people work too, but only the largest face talks.
Will the photo move like a real video?
No. The mouth and jaw follow the speech, while the head, eyes and the rest of the photo stay still. It is a fun, creative effect, not a realistic video of the person.
Can I make it say anything?
The mouth follows whatever audio you add, up to 30 seconds. Type a text in Text to Speech to make a voice, then use it here. Only use photos you have the right to use, and don’t use talking photos to mislead anyone.
Is it free and private?
Yes. There is no account, watermark or limit, and the photo and voice never leave your device: the AI runs in your browser.
