What is HeyGen?

HeyGen is an AI video platform specializing in generating professional presenter videos using AI avatars. The platform is designed for businesses and content creators who regularly need to produce videos — corporate updates, product demonstrations, training materials, marketing videos — without investing in expensive camera crews, studios or video editing.

How does HeyGen work?

HeyGen offers two main applications. The first is generating videos with AI avatars: users choose a realistically looking AI presenter from a library of more than 100 avatars, type the desired script, and HeyGen generates a video in which the avatar delivers the script with realistic lip sync.

The second and perhaps even more impressive application is Video Dubbing: upload an existing video and HeyGen translates the spoken text into one of the 40+ available languages — including perfect lip sync that adjusts the mouth movements of the speaker to the new language.
