One photo becomes a video that speaks, moves, and reacts. Use it for short-form social, product walkthroughs, language learning, or any time you need a face on camera without filming. No studio, no schedules, no reshoots.
How to Make a Talking Photo
Go from a still image to a speaking video in three steps. No filming, no editing experience needed.
Upload your photo
Upload a clear, well-lit portrait so the selected video model has a useful reference image.
Add your script or audio
Type a script and pick a voice from the library, record audio in the app, or upload your own track. The agent matches the voice to the photo's energy.
Generate your talking photo
Generate the clip, then review the facial motion and timing against your audio.
Performance, Not Just Movement
The face responds to the rhythm, emotion, and timing of the audio.
Get Started
Choose Your Video Model
Choose an audio-driven video model for a speaking photo. Pair your portrait with a clear audio track, review the expression and timing, and compare results across the models available in Hedra.
Thousands of voices, dozens of languages
Pick from a library of voices across ElevenLabs, MiniMax, and other integrations. Type a script with text-to-speech, clone your own voice, or upload audio you already have. Switch languages anytime without re-recording.
Any photo, any style
A real portrait becomes a talking head. An illustration or cartoon becomes an animated character. A brand mascot becomes a spokesperson.
Hedra learns from the tools you already use
Connect Google Drive, Notion, Slack, and the other tools where your brand lives. The Hedra agent reads from them as part of its working context, so every talking photo lands on-brand without you having to brief it from scratch.
