About HeyGen

HeyGen is an AI avatar video platform: type a script, pick from 700+ stock avatars (or clone yourself into a digital twin from a 2-minute recording), and get a talking-head video. It also animates still photos and clones voices with an in-product consent flow. It is secretly perfect for faceless YouTubers and solo founders shipping explainers. What most people miss: its translation pipeline does not swap audio — it re-renders the avatar's mouth to match the target language, and SCORM export ships even on the free tier. The honest catch is credit math: premium Avatar IV/V renders burn roughly 20 credits per minute, so Creator's 200 credits cover about 10 minutes a month, and every re-render spends credits again. Use it to make multilingual trailer or pitch versions without reshooting.
