Best for

Marketers, trainers and educators who need presenter-style or translated videos without filming each one.

Not great for

Cinematic or action footage: it is built for talking heads, and the free plan allows only 3 watermarked videos a month, each up to 1 minute.

Recent change Avatar V, HeyGen's newest avatar model, launched on 17 September 2026. It builds a consistent digital twin from a 15-second recording.

What it is

HeyGen makes presenter-style videos with AI avatars. Type a script and a realistic digital presenter reads it, either one of HeyGen’s stock avatars or a digital twin of you, made from a short recording. It can also translate existing videos into more than 175 languages with matching lip movement.

It suits marketers, trainers and educators who need a lot of talking-head or translated video without filming each one. The free plan allows three one-minute videos a month with a watermark. Creator, at $29 a month, allows videos up to 30 minutes and voice cloning. It is not built for cinematic or action footage.

HeyGen’s privacy policy says it uses your content to train its models, including avatar models. Opting out means emailing HeyGen; there is no setting in the app.
