What is an AI avatar generator?
An AI avatar generator puts a digital presenter in your video. Pick an avatar and paste a script, and the avatar speaks your words on screen, with no filming. Pictory’s AI avatar generator adds the voice, the captions and the scenes around the presenter.
Make an AI avatar your presenter. Choose from a gallery of ready-made presenters, change the outfit and place the avatar anywhere in the scene. Or create a custom AI avatar of yourself from a few minutes of footage.
It suits an AI presenter video of any kind: training, product explainers, sales messages and social posts. It runs in your browser like an AI avatar app, with 170+ voices in 29+ languages.
