πŸ†• NEW: HeyGen Avatar IV is here.
Our most advanced AI avatar model yet.

πŸ“Έ One photo.
πŸ“ One script.
🎧 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.

🎭 Head tilts. Pauses. Cadences. Micro-expressions.

➑️ A single image β†’ a video that feels real, not rendered.

Rolling out to all users now.

πŸ‘‡ See examples and what makes it different Avatar IV is the first HeyGen model that doesn’t 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.

Avatar IV makes your image move like you mean it.
