BETTER RESULTS
Tips for a better talking photo
Use a front-facing face
A face looking at the camera with the mouth clearly visible works best. Side views, a hand or a microphone over the mouth, or very small faces give weaker results.
Use clear speech
A clean voice recording without music or loud background noise gives the clearest mouth movement.
Pick the mode
Fast redraws the mouth quickly on any device. Detailed also sharpens the mouth area for a cleaner look; it needs a graphics card and takes longer.

Talking Photo FAQ
Is the talking photo maker free?
Yes. Make as many talking photos as you like with no account, no watermark and no daily limit.
Are my photo and voice uploaded?
No. The AI runs in your browser, and your photo and audio never leave your device. The first time, your browser downloads the AI models once and keeps them for next time; Detailed mode adds a larger one.
What kind of photo works best?
A clear photo of one face looking at the camera, with the mouth visible. If there are several faces, the largest one talks. If no face is found, the tool tells you.
Does the whole face move?
No. Only the mouth and jaw area follow the speech. The head, eyes and expression stay as they are in the photo, and the rest of the picture stays still. It is a fun, creative effect, not a realistic video of the person.
How long can the audio be?
Up to 30 seconds. For a longer file you can use its first 30 seconds. The video is as long as the audio.
Which audio files can I use?
MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC and other common formats, or a video file, whose sound is used. Clear speech works best; music and singing give less exact mouth movement.
What is the difference between Fast and Detailed?
The mouth area is redrawn at a low resolution, so in Fast mode it can look softer than the rest of the photo. Detailed mode sharpens it afterwards; it needs a graphics card your browser can use and takes longer. Fast works on any device.
Why is it slow on my device?
The first run downloads the AI models once, which takes a while. Making the video is fastest when your browser can use the graphics card; without it, each second of video can take several seconds.
Can I use any photo?
Only use photos you have the right to use, and ask people before you make their photo talk. Don’t use talking photos to mislead anyone.
