Step 1 – Upload a Human Photo
Go to Talking Photo under the AI Avatar section.
-
Click "Create New" and select Photo Avatar.
-
Upload a clear, front-facing human photo.
-
Make sure the photo has good lighting and a neutral background for best results.
DupDub will automatically detect the face and prepare it for lip-sync animation.
Step 2 – Add Script, Audio, or Record Voice
You can add a voice track in one of three ways:
-
Type a script to generate AI voiceovers
-
Upload audio/video files to extract the voice
-
Record directly within the platform using your microphone
Choose from 700+ voices and 1000+ styles in multiple languages to give your avatar a realistic and expressive voice.
Step 3 – Generate the Talking Avatar
Once the voice is ready, click Generate to process the video.
DupDub will sync the lips of your photo avatar to the voiceover, producing a fully animated, natural-looking talking head video.
The rendering process typically takes a few minutes.
Step 4 – Preview, Download, and Share
After generation, you can:
-
Preview the video directly in your browser
-
Download in MP4 format
-
Use in other DupDub tools like video editing or avatar-based presentations
Tips for Best Results
-
Use high-resolution images with a neutral expression
-
For longer videos, break scripts into smaller parts to reduce rendering time
-
Choose voices that match your avatar’s personality or audience context
