Frequently asked questions
What is an AI talking photo?
An AI talking photo takes a static image — a portrait, avatar, or product mascot — and animates it to speak a script with synchronized lip movement, natural head motion, and voice. The result looks like a real video without filming.
How realistic do AI talking photos look?
Quality depends on input photo clarity and script length. For ads and social content, results are polished enough for paid media. For photorealistic human avatars at scale, professional avatar tools on the Creator plan provide the highest fidelity.
Can I use my own voice in the talking photo?
Yes. Use ElevenLabs voice cloning (Pro plan and above) to clone a voice from audio samples, then apply it to any talking photo generation.
What kind of images work best for talking photos?
Front-facing portraits with a clear face, good lighting, and neutral expression produce the most natural results. Product mascots, illustrated characters, and stylized avatars also work well.
Is AI talking photo available on all Oakgen plans?
Yes. Talking Photo is accessible from the Basic plan ($9/month). Higher-tier plans unlock more generations and faster queue priority.
One credit balance covers every tool
Credits are shared across image, video, voice, and music generation. Simple images use fewer credits; premium video uses more. The exact cost is shown before generation. Plans start at $9/month.
