Animate a still portrait with audio
Photo to talking video: what it is and how it works
A photo-to-talking-video tool combines a still portrait with recorded speech so the person in the image appears to deliver the message. Wazzy makes this workflow simple: upload the photo, send the voice note, and receive the generated video.
What the tool creates
The finished result is a video rather than a static image. The portrait is animated to follow the supplied speech, creating a talking presentation from material you already have.
What you provide
A clear image with the face visible and well lit.
The exact message you want the video to deliver.
What Wazzy handles
Wazzy processes the image and audio and generates the talking video. This normally takes about 10 minutes.
Best uses
The format works well for short educational messages, marketing content, social posts, announcements, explainers, and personalized greetings.
Responsible use
Use photos and voices you own or are authorized to use. Do not create deceptive content or impersonate someone without permission.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good source photo?
A clear, front-facing portrait with the face well lit works best. Avoid sunglasses, heavy shadows across the face, or a face that's very small in the frame.
Can I use a photo of someone else, like a client or colleague?
Only with their clear permission. Wazzy is meant for content you own or are authorized to create.
Will the mouth movement look natural?
Wazzy syncs the animation to your actual voice recording, so the pacing and delivery of your speech carry through into the finished video.
How much does a photo-to-video cost?
A single video is $25, with a lower per-video rate available on the Standard or Pro subscription. You're never charged for a failed video.
