About
HeyGen is an AI video platform that creates videos with talking avatars. Users type a script, choose an avatar and a voice, and HeyGen produces a video of the avatar speaking. Joshua Xu and Wayne Liang founded the company in 2020. It is based in Los Angeles.
Users can pick from stock avatars or create a digital twin of themselves from a short recording. Video translation dubs an existing video into other languages and matches the lip movements. Interactive avatars can hold live conversations, for example on a website or in training. It supports many languages and voices, and users can change a video by editing the script text. HeyGen also offers an API for developers.
There is a free plan with limits and a watermark. Paid plans add longer videos, more avatars and higher resolution. Enterprise customers get brand controls and an API. Marketing teams, trainers, sales staff and online creators use it to make videos without filming.
