TOOL · AI TALKING HEADS · UPDATED JUL 2026

Turn any photo into AI talking heads.

getvivix turns a portrait plus a script into AI-generated talking heads — natural blinking, micro-expressions, tight lip sync. HeyGen Avatar V and Seedance 2.0, the newest generation of these models, create realistic talking heads from a single photo. Use your own face, or one you have explicit consent to use.

PHOTO + SCRIPT → VIDEO2,300 VOICES BUILT INCOST SHOWN FIRST

Want more control over the source face first? Design or refine the portrait with the AI avatar generator, then bring it here to talk. Making a personal photo speak — a memory, a character, a mascot — is its own craft: that lives on the talking photos AI page.

Used HeyGen Avatar IV, OmniHuman 1.5, Creatify Aurora, or KlingAI Avatar 2.0 before? Those engines defined the first wave of AI talking heads — and this field does not stand still. Their successors do the same jobs better: HeyGen Avatar V carries the presenter torch with cleaner lip sync and 2,300 built-in voices, and Seedance 2.0 covers the moving, multi-subject scenes. You will find the newest generation here as models keep improving.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What is an AI talking head generator?+

An AI talking head generator takes a portrait image (your own, or one you have explicit consent to use) plus an audio clip — your voice, a TTS file, or a recording — and animates the portrait so it appears to speak the audio, with synchronized mouth movement, natural facial expressions, and subtle head motion. Also called an AI presenter or talking avatar. Best for explainer videos, training, and product walkthroughs.

Which model is best?+

Right now, HeyGen Avatar V — it is the newer generation of the engines that made talking heads popular, and it simplifies the whole flow: one photo plus a written script, with 2,300 built-in voices, so you never even need an audio file. When you want the talking head inside a moving scene rather than against a plain backdrop, Seedance 2.0 is the one. Both show their exact credit cost in the Studio before you generate.

How long can the video be?+

HeyGen Avatar V takes scripts up to 5,000 characters — several minutes of continuous speech from a single photo. Seedance 2.0 clips run 4 to 15 seconds each, which suits social cuts and scene-based shots; chain a few together for longer pieces.

What input image works best?+

Front-facing portrait, sharp focus, even lighting, eyes visible, subject filling 60–80% of the frame. Avoid heavy shadows, motion blur, or sunglasses. PNG / JPG / WEBP up to 10 MB.

Can I use my own voice?+

Yes. Upload an MP3 or WAV. Or generate the voice first using getvivix's built-in TTS (ElevenLabs Flash v2.5, MiniMax Speech 2.8, xAI TTS) and feed the output into the presenter model.

Is it commercial-licensed?+

Yes on any paid plan. Free-tier outputs are for personal-evaluation only. You're responsible for having rights to the source image and audio.

Is there a free AI talking head generator?+

Yes — getvivix has a free tier: 3 credits on signup plus 3 free credits dropped daily, no card required. That is enough to test the AI talking head models before subscribing. Free-tier outputs are for personal evaluation; paid plans add a commercial-use license.

What is the best AI talking head video generator?+

The honest answer changes as the models do. The first wave — HeyGen Avatar IV, KlingAI Avatar 2.0, OmniHuman 1.5, Aurora v1 — proved the format, and their successors have since passed them: HeyGen Avatar V produces cleaner lip sync and expressions from just a photo and a script, and Seedance 2.0 puts a realistic talking head inside a full moving scene. getvivix runs the current generation in one studio with the exact credit cost shown before you generate.

Can I make AI talking animals or characters, not just people?+

Yes. The models animate any front-facing portrait — a person, an illustrated character, a mascot, or a stylized animal face — as long as the eyes and mouth are visible. Generate the character with getvivix image models first, then bring it to life with audio.

How do I turn a photo into a talking video?+

Upload one front-facing portrait, add an audio file (or generate the voice with built-in TTS), pick a presenter model, and click Generate. getvivix syncs the mouth, eyes, and head motion to the audio and returns an MP4 in about 2-4 minutes. No editing software or animation skills needed — the photo becomes a talking video in a few clicks.

Is there a free talking head video maker?+

Yes. getvivix is a talking head video maker with a real free tier: 3 credits when you sign up plus 3 more dropped every day, no card required. The exact credit cost is shown before each generation, so you always know what a clip will spend before you commit. Paid plans add a commercial-use license.

How much does each talking head video cost in credits?+

HeyGen Avatar V clips start around 30 credits, and Seedance 2.0 runs from about 9.6 credits per second depending on resolution and length. Whatever you pick, the exact credit total for your clip is shown in the Studio before you generate — there are no surprise charges after the fact.

Can I do more than talking heads on getvivix?+

Yes. The talking head models live in the same studio as 100+ image, video, and audio models, all on one subscription. Generate a portrait, write a script, render the voice with TTS, animate it into a talking video, then edit captions — without leaving getvivix or paying separate tools for each step.

What is an AI talking head?+

An AI talking head is a photo animated to speak — the mouth, eyes, and head move in sync with the words, so a still portrait plays back as a real video. getvivix builds AI talking heads from one photo plus a script or audio track using the current generation of models: HeyGen Avatar V and Seedance 2.0.

What happened to Avatar IV, OmniHuman 1.5, Aurora, and KlingAI Avatar 2.0?+

Those were the first generation of talking head engines, and they earned their reputations — but this field moves fast, and each now has a stronger successor. If you came here looking for any of them, HeyGen Avatar V is the direct upgrade: sharper lip sync, better expressions, and a built-in library of 2,300 voices so a written script is all you need. For the long multi-subject scenes OmniHuman was known for, Seedance 2.0 handles full moving scenes with a talking subject inside them. Same jobs, better results.

Can I make an AI talking head for free?+

Yes. Signup gives you 3 free credits plus 3 more dropped every day, no card required, and outputs carry no getvivix watermark on any tier. Free-tier talking heads are for personal evaluation — paid plans add the commercial-use license if you want to publish or sell the result.

How do I turn a photo into a talking head video?+

Upload one front-facing photo, write the script (or add an audio track), pick a model — HeyGen Avatar V for the classic presenter look, Seedance 2.0 for a talking head inside a moving scene — and click Generate. getvivix syncs the mouth and expressions to the words and renders the talking head video in a few minutes.
