HeyGen is an AI video platform that makes videos presented by lifelike avatars, including a custom avatar trained on the user's own look, voice and gestures. Its Video Agent turns a typed idea into a share-ready video with presenter footage, motion graphics and B-roll.

**Key features:**

- Avatar V keeps a consistent identity across angles, with lip-sync in 175+ languages.
- Edits script, tone, gestures and emotion in the text-based AI Studio.
- Translates uploaded videos or YouTube links with voice cloning and lip-sync.
- Turns text, images, audio, PowerPoint or PDF files into avatar videos.
- Generates video and images with Seedance, Veo 3.1 and Nano Banana on Pro.
- Offers developer APIs for video agent, generation, translation and lipsync.

Custom avatars require identity verification, and HeyGen is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant. The free plan includes three watermarked one-minute videos a month. Creator is $29/month, Pro is $49/month with 4K export, and Business is $149/month with SSO, SCORM export and n8n, Make, HubSpot and Zapier integrations; Enterprise is through sales.
