Visually consistent video content at scale
Use AI Avatars to save time, increase output, and stay on script
Reduce time spent recording and focus on online expansion
Leveraging AI Avatars allows content creators to expand their reach and explore new markets that may have previously been out of reach due to time constraints. Kapwing's AI Avatar Maker allows users to generate polished, professional video content without the need for repeated recordings.
AI Avatars are designed to deliver your brand message with clarity and precision, reducing the risk of human error during recording. Upload a video of yourself and Kapwing’s AI technology generates an identical AI Persona that mirrors your appearance and mannerisms. Simply edit the text to alter what your avatar says — best of all, anyone can generate 30 seconds of video content using our AI Avatar Maker for free.
Maintain a consistent brand across multiple projects
Establishing a recognizable brand voice across multiple projects is critical for modern content creators. AI Avatars can help you find a unified yet adaptable voice that works across social media, training material, adverts, and marketing assets.
Branch out from creating an avatar identical to yourself and explore Kapwing's diverse range of talking Stock Personas. Meticulously evaluate everything from their clothing to accents and select the Persona 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 (or use Kapwing's AI Script Generator) 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 an AI Avatar. Upload a video of yourself and let your clone 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.
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 personas come with a permanent watermark to indicate they are AI-generated. Using these personas for purposes outside of education violates our Terms of Service.

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?
