Meticulously evaluate everything from their clothing to accents and select the avatar that best fits your brand. Whether responding to current events, launching a new product, or creating training tutorials for a large company, Kapwing’s avatars enable you to respond quickly and effectively with HD videos.
Streamline the lip-syncing process with one click
Kapwing understands the most technically challenging aspect of creating an AI Avatar is often the lip-syncing process between audio and video. Our advanced AI-driven technology eliminates this concern — hit the 'Project Export' button and your video is ready for download with speech and lips in sync. Spend more time carefully crafting your script and less time recording and editing.
Personalize your content with a recognizable character
It's easy to personalize tutorials, product demos, educational content, and company announcements with the use of a digital avatar. Let a clone of yourself handle any script with precision and consistency, even when dealing with complex or technical topics.
Use your new avatar as an extension of yourself with the familiarity of your face adding a personal touch across a broader scale of content. Your AI Avatar is easily integrated into any of your Kapwing projects, allowing you to enhance B-roll-heavy content with a human touch.
Expanding education on the use of AI
Kapwing's 'Educational' section is designed to showcase the capabilities of open-source lip sync technologies while helping to educate the public on how AI can be used. By experimenting with celebrity deepfakes, users can understand how convincingly AI can generate fake speech. All videos featuring celebrity avatars come with a permanent watermark to indicate they are AI-generated. Using these avatars for purposes outside of education violates our Terms of Service.

What's different about Kapwing?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI Avatar?
An AI Avatar is a digital representation of a person, created by artificial intelligence. They mirror human appearance, voice, and behaviors, and can be found in video, image, or audio form. On social media, AI Avatars are often known in the form of 'deepfakes' where celebrities and famous people of interest are mimicked with fake AI-generated audio, video, or both. However, AI Avatars also have a lot of practical uses, particularly in the world of customer service and education.
What app is everyone using for AI Avatars?
As of 2025, some of the most used AI Avatar apps include Lensa AI, Fotor AI, Prequel, and Dawn AI. All of these are apps that require a download process. In contrast, Kapwing is completely online, which we believe offers more flexibility than traditional apps. With a shared online workspace, you can quickly share feedback with your team using real-time comments from anywhere in the world. Likewise, the process from exporting to posting on social media is seamless, with the option to log in to your social accounts and share posts directly from the Kapwing studio.
Is Kapwing's AI Avatar Maker free?
Yes, our AI Avatar Maker is free for all users to try. On a free account, you can use a stock digital avatar or create a self-clone to generate up to 1 minute of lip-synced speech. Upgrading to a Pro Account unlocks 15 minutes of generation per month and access to all premium voices
How do I create a talking AI Avatar?
Many online and app AI Avatar generators offer a mix of free and paid features. For a high-quality video shot in HD with customizable editing features and accurate lip-syncing, you will likely need a paid AI Avatar generator. Fortunately, you can generate up to 1 minute of free video content to tril Kapwing's AI Avatar Maker. If you decide you want to create regular content using your new avatar then you can join Kapwing via subscription.
Are AI Avatars based on real people?
Yes, AI Avatars work best when based on human models. A host of popular avatar generators create stock avatars from video footage of real actors, including Synthesia, HeyGen, Kapwing, and TikTok's Gen AI Avatars.
What can I use Kapwing's Educational Avatars for?
You can use Kapwing's 'Educational' section to get a better understanding of how deepfake content is generated using the latest open-source lip sync technologies. Users can only publish Avatar videos using people that they have been granted permission to use. Use a video of yourself, choose an approved stock Avatar, or get explicit permission when using a video of someone else to train as an Avatar. Using a celebrity or anyone else you do not have permission to use is prohibited and against Kapwing's Terms of Service.
How to create an AI Avatar and clone yourself
You can create a talking AI Avatar in three steps using Kapwing.
- Upload a video file of yourself directly talking to the camera to train Kapwing on your visuals.
- Upload an audio file to train Kapwing on your voice (or select an AI-generated voice to replace yours)
- Process the video so it is added to your timeline. Now you can edit the text box to change what your AI Avatar says.
Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including Kawpwing's AI Avatar Maker — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.
How many stock AI Avatars does Kapwing have?
Kapwing offers 52 diverse AI Avatars, powered by ElevenLabs, one of the world’s leading AI text-to-speech platforms. Our extensive library includes digital avatars with a wide range of ages, voices, genders, narration styles, and accents, ensuring there’s a perfect fit for any project. Some avatars also feature green screen backgrounds, providing flexibility for seamless integration into any of your projects.
How long does it take to create a custom avatar?
Kapwing's generation process is incredibly quick. Whereas tools like Synthesia take one full business day to generate an AI Avatar, it typically takes Kapwing between 5-10 minutes. After your avatar clone is generated it may take another 5-10 minutes to adapt what your avatar says, depending on the length of the new transcript. Nonetheless, all generations should take minutes — not hours, and not days.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
