How it works
How does the Protoface AI talking photo generator work?
Upload a photo and Protoface turns your photo into a video. The photo sets who speaks, and your voice track sets every word.
YOUR PHOTO
01 / PHOTO
Your photo sets who speaks
The face, hair and outfit come from one clear, front-facing photo that you upload.
YOUR VOICE
02 / VOICE
Your voice track sets the words
Record your own voice, or type a script and turn it into speech with a voice model.
YOUR VIDEO
03 / RESULT
Your photo talks
Lips, face and head move in time with the voice, in a video ready to post or share.
How to make one
How to make an AI talking photo with Protoface
Go from photo to talking video in six steps, with no camera, no studio and no subscription.
01 / PHOTO
Choose a clear, front-facing photo
One face, looking at the camera, evenly lit, with the mouth closed or relaxed.
02 / CONSENT
Check that the person agreed
Use a photo of yourself, or of someone who said yes to a talking video of them.
03 / VOICE
Record or type the words
Upload a voice recording, or type a script and turn it into speech on Protoface.
04 / MODEL
Pick a model and a quality
Start with a model made for talking avatars, then choose the quality you need.
05 / GENERATE
Check the cost, then generate
Read the credit estimate for your settings first, then generate your talking photo.
06 / REVIEW
Check lips, teeth and eyes
Watch the mouth on fast words. If something looks off, try a clearer photo or slower speech.
Better photos, clearer speech
Which photos work best for an AI talking avatar?
Clear photos and clean audio give you more natural lip sync and fewer retries. Check both before you spend credits.
✓
One face, looking straight at the camera, in sharp focus
✓
Even light on the face, with no hands, hair or glasses glare over the mouth
✓
Head and shoulders in frame, with a little space above the head
✓
A voice track with no music or background noise
