What is HeyGen?
HeyGen is an AI video platform for creating videos with talking avatars. You write or paste a script, choose an avatar and voice, and HeyGen produces a video of the presenter speaking it. Marketers, sales teams, educators and content creators use it for explainers, personalized outreach and social content. HeyGen stands out for its video translation and personal avatars. You can create a digital version of yourself from recorded footage, then generate new videos without filming again. Its translation feature can dub an existing video into other languages while matching lip movements to the new speech. Templates, a browser-based editor and an API support both one-off videos and automated production. A free plan with limited usage is available, and paid plans add more minutes and features.
