π NEW: HeyGen Avatar IV is here.
Our most advanced AI avatar model yet.
πΈ One photo.
π One script.
π§ Just your voice.
Most avatars sync to your words. Avatar IV interprets them.
Built on a diffusion-inspired audio-to-expression engine, it analyzes your vocal tone, rhythm, and emotion β then synthesizes photoreal facial motion with temporal realism.
π Head tilts. Pauses. Cadences. Micro-expressions.
β‘οΈ A single image β a video that feels real, not rendered.
Rolling out to all users now.
π See examples and what makes it different
Avatar IV is the first HeyGen model that doesnβt just sync to your voice β it understands it.
It captures the rhythm, tone, and intent of how you speak β driving natural facial expressions, subtle head movement, and micro-gestures in real time.
Powered by a neural audio-to-expression engine, Avatar IV predicts lifelike facial dynamics directly from voice β no motion capture, no rigging, no actor training. Just one photo.
