What's different about Kapwing?
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.
Is the AI Avatar Maker free?
Yes, anyone can try Kapwing’s library of stock AI Avatar Generator for free. However, to save your own custom avatar and reuse it consistently across projects, you’ll need a Pro account.
Is there a watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including Kawpwing's AI Avatar Maker — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.
What is an AI Avatar?
An AI avatar is a digital human likeness — a realistic or stylized video representation of a person, generated by artificial intelligence. AI avatars can speak, gesture, and present content from a written script, eliminating the need for live recording. They're used in marketing videos, training content, explainer videos, online courses, and social media. Kapwing's AI Avatar Maker lets you create an AI avatar by uploading reference images — then generate talking head videos in 1080p without any recording.
How many stock AI Avatars does Kapwing have?
Kapwing offers 50+ diverse AI Avatars, powered by ElevenLabs, one of the world’s leading AI text-to-speech platforms. Our extensive library includes digital avatars with a wide range of ages, voices, genders, narration styles, and accents, ensuring there’s a perfect fit for any project.
How long does it take to create a custom avatar?
Kapwing's generation process is incredibly quick. Whereas tools like Synthesia take one full business day to generate an AI Avatar, it typically takes Kapwing between under 60 seconds. This is because you only need images to train the AI avatar and not video footage.
After your avatar is saved, generating a video usually takes a few minutes depending on the video length, script, and whether lip sync is needed for a speaking character.
What is the difference between an AI avatar and AI clone?
An AI avatar is a digital character or presenter generated with AI. It can be a stock spokesperson, fictional character, cartoon, or stylized human used in videos and images.
An AI clone is a personalized type of AI avatar trained from your own reference images and voice. AI clones are designed to look and sound like a real person, making them useful for tutorials, product demos, social media videos, and recurring on-camera content.
Can you remove the background of an AI avatar?
Yes. Add your AI avatar video to the Kapwing timeline, then use the built-in background remover to isolate your character from the scene.
What file formats does Kapwing export?
Kapwing exports AI avatar videos as MP4 files in up to 1080p HD. You can resize exports to fit any platform — including 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Instagram Reels, and 1:1 for LinkedIn and Facebook — using Kapwing's built-in canvas resizing tools.
Can AI avatars speak different languages?
Yes. Kapwing supports lip-synced AI avatar videos in 40+ languages using AI voice and subtitle generation tools
Do I need to record myself to create an AI avatar?
No. Kapwing creates AI avatars from reference images and voice recordings, so you don’t need to film training footage or spend time recording takes.
Can I edit AI avatar videos after generating them?
Yes. Every AI avatar video opens inside Kapwing’s drag-and-drop editor where you can add subtitles, B-roll, transitions, music, logos, and additional scenes before exporting.
Can I reuse the same AI avatar across projects?
Yes. Save your avatar to your Brand Kit and reuse it across videos, campaigns, social posts, tutorials, and presentations without recreating it each time
