Overview

AI Avatar Generator — Talking Head Videos from Photo + Voice

AI Avatar turns a single photo into a talking spokesperson video with lip-sync — type a script or upload a voice recording, and get a UGC-style presenter clip back in about 7 minutes. On Prizmad it's a built-in tool: pick an actor, add audio, generate.

Background

What is AI Avatar?

AI Avatar is a photo-to-video tool that animates a still image into a talking presenter with synchronized lip movement. You choose a preset actor or upload your own avatar image (JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF up to 10 MB), give it something to say, and the tool renders a video of that person speaking your script.

The audio side works two ways. In text mode you type a script, pick a voice from the built-in voice picker, and the speech is generated for you — preset actors even come with a recommended voice auto-selected. In upload mode you attach your own MP3 or WAV recording and the avatar lip-syncs to it, which is the route to take when you already have a voiceover you like or need a specific accent or delivery.

On Prizmad, AI Avatar uses the same token balance as image generation, video, voiceover, , and music. There is no separate avatar-app account to manage: your actors, scripts, and finished videos live in the same asset library as everything else you generate, and every video is yours to use commercially.

Use cases

What you can create with AI Avatar

UGC-style product ads

A presenter delivering a first-person product pitch — the format that dominates TikTok and Meta ad feeds — without hiring creators.

Testimonial and review videos

Scripted before/after stories and honest-review reads for dropshipping and DTC funnels, generated from a photo and a paragraph of text.

Spokesperson variations at scale

Test the same hook with different actors and voices, or the same actor with ten different scripts, to find the winning combination.

Workflow

How to use AI Avatar on Prizmad

1

Select an actor. Browse the preset gallery or upload your own avatar image — a clear, front-facing photo works best (JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF up to 10 MB).

2

Choose your audio source: Generate from Text if you want the voice created for you, or Upload Audio if you already have a recording.

3

In text mode, write the script your avatar will speak and pick a voice from the voice picker. Short, conversational lines in the first person perform best for UGC-style ads.

4

In upload mode, attach your MP3 or WAV file — the avatar will lip-sync to it exactly as recorded.

5

Pick the resolution — 480p for quick iterations, 720p for final creatives. The token cost shown updates with your script length and resolution.

6

Click Generate. The video renders in roughly 7 minutes and lands in your asset library, ready to download or drop into a Prizmad video project.

Pricing

How AI Avatar fits Prizmad pricing

From 16 tokens per video

AI Avatar starts at 16 tokens per generation (480p, ~1 second). The exact cost updates automatically based on your script length and the resolution you pick — longer scripts and 720p HD cost more than short 480p clips.

Available for tokens

AI Avatar is unlocked on the same token balance you use for image generation, video, voiceover, and music — no separate avatar-tool account and no API key setup.

Run out? Top up, don't upgrade

If your tokens run dry mid-campaign, buy a one-off top-up directly from the top-up page. Every avatar video you generate stays yours with full commercial rights.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is AI Avatar free to use?

AI Avatar runs on Prizmad tokens, available to any account with enough tokens. There is no separate charge for the tool itself — a generation starts at 16 tokens, with the final cost depending on script length and resolution.

How much does an AI Avatar video cost?

Generations start at 16 tokens. The cost shown in the tool updates automatically as you type your script and switch between 480p and 720p, so you always see the exact price before you click Generate.

Can I use my own face or my own photo?

Yes. Alongside the preset actor gallery, you can upload your own avatar image — JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF up to 10 MB. A sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo gives the best lip-sync result.

Can I upload my own voiceover instead of typing a script?

Can I use AI Avatar videos in paid ads?

Yes. You keep full commercial rights to every video generated on Prizmad — run them as paid ads on TikTok, Meta, and YouTube, embed them on landing pages, or send them in email campaigns.

How long does a generation take?

Around 7 minutes. The job runs asynchronously, so you can queue a video, keep working on other creatives, and pick up the result from your asset library when it's done.

How is AI Avatar different from HeyGen Avatar 4 on Prizmad?

Both turn an avatar image plus a script or audio into a talking video. AI Avatar offers 480p/720p output with length- and resolution-based pricing from 16 tokens. HeyGen Avatar 4 adds more aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 4:5, 5:4, 1:1, auto), resolutions up to 1080p, a Stable/Expressive talking style control, and duration-based pricing from 100 tokens per 5 seconds. Both are billed from the same token balance, so you can test both and keep the winner.

What audio formats can I upload?

MP3 and WAV files are supported in upload mode. Use a clean, noise-free recording for the most accurate lip-sync.
