About HeyGen
HeyGen makes AI-avatar videos with voice cloning — clone yourself once, then dub into 175+ languages.
Its pitch is you, multiplied: voice cloning to replicate your own voice, translating and dubbing existing videos into 175+ languages with automatic lip-sync, and both stock AI avatars and custom avatars built from uploaded footage — all in the browser.
It fits marketers and creators who want avatar-led or dubbed video without filming each version. Two caveats: the free tier is limited by credits and short maximum video lengths, and lip-sync quality and pronunciation can degrade for less-common languages and dialects.
It's an avatar-video generator next to the enterprise-focused Synthesia, distinct from voice-only tools like ElevenLabs.
