A photo that talks
A portrait becomes a video where the lips follow the voice, for a message, a presentation or an announcement, with no shoot.

Make a Photo Talk
One portrait, one voice: your photo starts talking.
On Deepnia you can make a photo talk: add a photo of a face and a voice (record it with your microphone, import an audio file or pick a voice over created in Deepnia). The Talking avatar tool animates the portrait so the lips follow the speech, and you get a video to watch and download. You can also make two people in the same photo talk, or give a video a new voice.

How to make a photo talk in 3 steps
Add the photo
Pick a sharp portrait, with the face clearly visible and the mouth uncovered, from your device or your Deepnia library.
Add the voice
Record your voice with the microphone, import an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A…) or pick a voice over created in Deepnia’s voice-over studio.
Generate the video
Pick the model and the quality, check the cost shown, then start the creation. The video appears under “Your creations”, ready to download.
What you can do
The voice of your choice
Your own voice recorded with the microphone, an existing audio file, or a voice over created in Deepnia with one of the studio voices or your cloned voice.
Two people in the same picture
The “Two people” mode makes two faces in one photo talk, each with their own voice, for a dialogue or an interview.
A new voice for a video
The “Video + voice” mode syncs the lips of a video from your library with a new audio track.
What can you use it for?
Presenting a product or a service
A face that explains your offer in a few sentences, for a product page or an ad on social media.
Messages and announcements
A welcome note, an invitation or an announcement, carried by a face rather than plain text.
Training and tutorials
A trainer or a character who introduces each module, with the same voice from one video to the next.
Characters and stories
Give a voice to an illustrated character, a mascot or a portrait created with AI.
Tips for better results
- Choose a front-facing, well-lit photo with the mouth visible and nothing in front of the face.
- Use a clean audio track, without loud music or background noise, for a more natural sync.
- For a voice over with a precise tone, create it first in the voice-over studio, then pick it here.
- Use photos and voices you have the right to use, especially when they show a real person.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a photo talk with AI?
Open Deepnia’s Talking avatar tool, add a photo of a face, then a voice: a microphone recording, an audio file or a voice over created in Deepnia. Start the generation: the video of your talking photo is ready to watch and download.
Which voice can I use?
Your own voice recorded with the microphone, an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, AAC, FLAC) of 10 minutes or less, or a voice over created in Deepnia’s voice-over studio, including with your cloned voice.

The video lasts as long as your audio: from 5 seconds to 10 minutes with the model offered when the tool opens. Some models are built for shorter clips; the tool only shows those that fit your choice.
Can I make two people talk?
Yes. The “Two people” mode uses a photo showing both faces and two audio files, one for each person.
