Talking Photo AI
Make a photo talk. Type what it should say, pick a voice, and get a lip-synced video.
Talking photo AI that uses your own face
A talking photo is a still image turned into a video of the person speaking. Photo AI moves the mouth to match the words (lip sync). Start from any photo you made on Photo AI, type a script or upload audio, and the photo talks. Because the photos star your own AI character, the person talking is you.
How it works
Pick a photo or a video
Any photo or video in your gallery has a talking video button.
Add the words
Type a script of up to 350 characters and pick a voice, or upload your own audio.
Get the talking video
The mouth is synced to the audio. Turn on captions if you want them.
Videos made with Photo AI
Real videos made by Photo AI users.
The AI video models behind it
You don't need a separate account for each model. Both are included in your Photo AI plan.
Seedance 2.5
ByteDance's newest video model. Up to 30 seconds in one pass with native sound, and it keeps your face consistent from reference photos.

Photo AI is just fantastic! I take amazing photos of my wife, family and friends. As a photographer I use it to test ideas before creating a real photoshoot. I strongly recommend!
EveraldoCool AI tool for image generation! I could create a lot of truly amazing pictures in different locations with different outfits! All my friends were surprised and loved my pictures!
IrynaGood input = good output. Very fun! Took me some effort to get the models to feel accurate but once I got the right input it was amazing. Photo AI was very responsive to my questions.
