What is HeyGen?

HeyGen creates videos with AI avatars: realistic presenters who read your script on camera. You can pick a stock avatar or create one of yourself, then generate a video in many languages without filming.

Its video translation feature is especially popular. Upload a video of yourself speaking and it produces a version in another language, keeping your voice and matching lip movements. Avatars can still look slightly stiff, and the free plan adds a watermark.
