Meet Photo Avatar at AI Studios – formerly known as Dream Avatar. This tool lets you turn any portrait into a talking avatar in just a few steps. Upload your photo, type what you want it to say, and our generator will do the rest. You can even clone your voice for a personal touch.

Photo Avatar makes it easy to create engaging videos for work or fun. Let’s bring your photo to life!


How to Create an Avatar with an Image or Photo

  1. Access the Photo Avatar Feature

  2. Upload a Portrait Photo

    • In the Photo Avatar builder, upload a front-facing photo of the face you want to animate.

    • For best results, use a straight-on image rather than one that's angled or tilted.

  3. Choose a Template

    • Explore our selection of pre-made templates designed for various uses, including virtual business cards.

    • A Photo Avatar enhances digital assets like business cards, e-cards, or profile pictures, making them interactive and engaging.

  4. Select a Voice or Clone Your Own

    • Choose a Voice: Select from over 100 voices in more than 80 languages, available in both female and male options.

    • Clone Your Voice: For personalization, clone your voice by recording a 10-second clip using the provided script. This unique option adds a personal touch to your avatar.

  5. Generate Your Photo Avatar

    • Review your voice recording and the avatar’s appearance. Re-record if necessary.

    • Click “Create Photo Avatar” to finalize and generate your avatar.

Processing Time: Avatar creation typically takes between 5 to 40 minutes. If processing exceeds an hour, review this troubleshooting section below, contact support, or retry uploading the photo.

To find the photo avatars you’ve created, go to the 'Photo Avatar' tab in the Model menu while using the AI Studios video editor.


Why Your Photo Avatar Might Not Work

If your Photo Avatar isn't generating properly, it could be due to the following reasons:

  1. Lips Are Difficult to See

    • If the photo of a person or character does not have clearly visible lips, the Photo Avatar will not detect where to apply lip-sync.

  2. Low-Quality Photo

    • Blurry or pixelated images may prevent accurate avatar generation. Use a high-resolution photo for the best results.

  3. Multiple Faces in the Photo

    • Photo Avatar currently works on one face at a time. If there are multiple faces, crop the image for each person and edit all avatars together using a video editor.

  4. Incorrect Lighting

    • Poor lighting can cause inaccuracies. Ensure the photo is well-lit with even lighting across the face.

  5. AI Provider Issues

    • If the Photo Avatar feature isn’t working, the AI provider may be experiencing downtime. Check the AI Studios status page or try again later.

  6. Obstructed Face

    • Long facial hair, masks, or other facial obstructions can interfere with the avatar generation. Use a photo where the face is fully visible.
