AI Talking Photos makes any portrait speak. Upload a photo, type what you want the person to say, and AI generates a realistic talking video with accurate lip-sync — no filming, no voiceover recording required.
Realistic lip-sync generation AI maps the text to natural lip movements and facial expressions for believable, human-quality talking video.
Any portrait, any text Works on photos of real people, illustrations, historical figures, or fictional characters — if there's a face, it can talk.
Adjustable duration Generate clips from 5 to 15 seconds to match your content length.
Reproducible results Use the seed parameter to lock in a specific output for consistent iterations.

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/ai-talking-photos with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Ai Talking Photos below.
# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/ai-talking-photos" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
"duration": 5,
"seed": -1
}'
# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"
# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');
const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env
const result = await client.run("wavespeed-ai/ai-talking-photos", {
"image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
"duration": 5,
"seed": -1
});
console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output# pip install wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(

print(output["outputs"][0]) # → URL of the generated outputAi Talking Photos is a WaveSpeedAI model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. AI Talking Photos brings your photos to life — upload a portrait and text, and watch the person speak. Supports 5-15 seconds duration. Ready-to-use REST inference API, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/ai-talking-photos.
Ai Talking Photos starts at $0.30 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `image`, `duration`, `seed`, `text`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/ai-talking-photos.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
