Make a photo talk with a written script or a voice recording. Freepik AI turns a portrait and speech into a lip-synced avatar video for introductions, explanations, and character messages—without filming a new on-camera performance.
Choose a recording when the performance is already right, or generate speech when you want to develop the message from text.
Upload spoken audio to use its pronunciation, pauses, and emphasis. A clear single-speaker recording gives the portrait an easier performance to follow than speech mixed with loud music or overlapping conversation.
Enter the spoken words under Generate Speech and choose a voice. Listen to the generated audio before making the avatar video. Revise a difficult phrase at this stage rather than relying on the animation to improve how it sounds.
The portrait sets the speaker’s appearance. Prepare a clear image with a composition that leaves room for speech and expression.
Keep the mouth and eyes visible, with balanced lighting across the face. A hand across the lips, a very small face, or a strong side angle gives the animation less useful information.
A head-and-shoulders image suits a direct introduction. Leave some space around the head and match the expression to the message. For an illustrated speaker, use distinct facial features rather than a tiny face in a wide scene.
Keep the words in the script or recording and the visible performance in the animation prompt. Choose 720p or 1080p for delivery.
Describe an expression or restrained gesture that fits the line: an attentive explanation, a small nod, or an upbeat greeting. A short direction is easier to reconcile with speech than a separate sequence of large actions.
Review the mouth timing, the expression, and the beginning and end of the message. If a word sounds wrong, revise the audio; if the face moves poorly, reconsider the portrait or visual direction.
Freepik AI talking avatars work well when one person or character has a clear message to deliver.
Open a tutorial with a brief greeting and explain what the viewer is about to learn. Keep the main demonstration in supporting footage so the avatar has a purposeful role in the finished edit.
Let an illustrated guide introduce a museum exhibit or explain a game rule. Write the line as something spoken aloud, with a direct opening and one point the audience can remember.
Choose the tool based on what should drive the scene: a spoken message, an imagined action, or a recorded performance.
Choose the avatar generator when you already know the words the person should say. The audio provides the spoken timing while the picture defines the speaker.
For a walk, a turn, or an action sequence, start with the video generator. For a particular dance or gesture from footage, use motion control with a character image and reference clip.
Get the speech and portrait ready for a clearer on-screen delivery.
Upload a portrait in the Freepik AI avatar workspace. Choose Generate Speech, enter your script, and select a voice. Generate and listen to the speech, add a brief animation direction, then create the talking video. The spoken track supplies the words and timing.
Yes. Select Upload Audio and provide your recording instead of generating speech. Trim unwanted silence and use a clear recording of the intended speaker. The avatar follows that track, so choose a take with the pronunciation and pacing you want.
The audio-upload route accepts recordings up to five minutes within the uploader’s file-size limit. Generating speech from text has its own text limit. For a longer presentation, prepare separate spoken sections and combine the videos in your editor, reusing the portrait for a consistent speaker.
No. Put the actual dialogue in the speech script or supply it as an audio recording. The animation prompt is for the visible performance, such as expression, posture, and small gestures. Keeping these instructions separate makes it clearer which input to revise.
You can use an illustrated portrait with clearly defined facial features. Keep the mouth and eyes visible and choose a framing suited to a talking speaker. Very abstract faces or tiny features are harder starting points, so review the mouth movement in the generated result.
Prepare a recording in the desired language or generate speech using a suitable voice. Check pronunciation before creating the video, especially for names and unusual terms. Make each language version from its own script or audio; uploading a recording does not automatically translate it.
Yes. Freepik AI offers 720p and 1080p output for this workflow. Choose the resolution for your final placement, use a clear portrait, and inspect the face at the size viewers will see it.
Bring a portrait and the words you want it to say. Create your avatar with Freepik AI.
