Make dozens of realistic videos with one AI Persona

An AI Persona will read aloud your script, bringing your words to life

Create a virtual version of yourself

Tired of doing your hair and finding good lighting for the camera? Eliminate the endless cycle of bulk recording and retakes by leveraging an AI Persona that delivers your script with precision, no matter how complex the topic. Record one video to train the AI Persona, then generate new lip-synced videos that look exactly like you've read the text aloud. Focus on improving your research, scriptwriting, and creative concepts rather than looking good on camera.

Build out a video library with a consistent face

Using an AI Persona, creative teams can ensure that serial content is regularly updated without breaking brand consistency. Lecturers, thought leaders, executives, and politicians can regularly create video content from just a script, blurb, or voice memo. Kapwing’s advanced voice technology ensures your speaker's pitch, tone, emphasis, and intonations remain the same across videos. Whether you're creating educational content, promotional videos, or engaging social media posts, your AI Persona will maintain the same high standards of delivery.

Choose an AI actor from stock personas

Kapwing's stock of AI Avatars span a diverse range of male and female voices including different ages, nationalities, accents, and diction styles. Generate videos with a more authoritative voice for corporate presentations, a friendly tone for social media content, or a specific accent to resonate with a regional audience.

Automatically lip-sync videos without editing experience

No matter your level of editing experience, ensuring your AI Persona has accurate lip-syncing is as easy as clicking one button. Video output looks realistic, maintaining the credibility and professionalism of your message.

Committed to education on the use of AI

Kapwing's 'Educational' section is designed to showcase the capabilities of open-source lip sync technologies while helping to educate the public on how AI can be used. To better understand the realism of deepfake content users can experience how celebrities are engineered into fake speech. All Persona videos that include a celeb have a non-removable watermark to indicate that the content is AI-generated. Using a celebrity or anyone else you do not have permission to use is prohibited and against Kapwing's Terms of Service.

HOW TO CREATE AN AI PERSONA

  1. Create or choose Persona

    Film a video (15 seconds minimum) to train a custom AI Persona. Upload or record your voice and name the Persona. Or, choose a voice from the stock library in the Persona tab.

  2. Input the script

    Type the text that you want the Persona to read aloud. Kapwing will generate the speech, attached to an unsynced video layer. Make other edits you want, combining Persona videos with B-roll, music, text, subtitles, and more.

  3. Export your video

    Select 'Export Project' to sync the voice and video together, then download and share

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

How do I create a faceless video?

You can easily create faceless videos using Kapwing. Faceless videos are regularly used in tutorials, educational videos, product demonstrations, and explainer videos because of the reduction in production time. They are also popular on social media with famous faceless YouTuber creators such as Dream and Lofi Girl. Make a free faceless video and start diversifying your content output.

What can I use Kapwing's 'Educational' personas for?

You can use Kapwing's 'Educational' section to get a better understanding of how deepfake content is generated using the latest open-source lip sync technologies. Users can only publish Persona videos using people that they have been granted permission to use. Use a video of yourself, choose an approved stock Persona, or get explicit permission when using a video of someone else to train as a Persona. Using a celebrity or anyone else you do not have permission to use is prohibited and against Kapwing's Terms of Service.

Can I create deepfake videos?

Yes, you can create deepfake videos of yourself, by using videos of people who have given you explicit permission, or using Kapwing's list of Stock Personas. Deepfake videos are not illegal and there is no federal legislation in the United States. However, using a celebrity or anyone else you do not have permission to use, is prohibited and against Kapwing's Terms of Service.

What is an AI Persona?

An AI Persona is a digital avatar created using AI. Kapwing has three types of Persona offerings: cloning yourself, using a Stock Persona, and Educational Personas. You can clone yourself into a Persona by uploading a video speaking to camera. Kapwing's Stock Personas are real people from a diverse range of backgrounds. The Educational Personas are famous faces that are included to help showcase the capabilities of open-source lip sync technologies

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
