Talking Photo by LipSync is an online AI tool that turns a static portrait into a talking video, using typed text, uploaded audio, or a recorded voice, with daily free credits and no watermark.
About
Talking Photo is a feature of LipSync (lipsync.video) that converts a still portrait into a video of a person speaking. It addresses a common production problem: creating spoken video content normally requires filming, recording equipment, and editing. With this tool, a user uploads one clear face photo and supplies speech as typed text, an uploaded audio file, or a voice recording made directly in the browser.
The system then animates the mouth, eyes, and surrounding facial movement so it lines up with the audio timing, and produces a downloadable video without a watermark. The tool offers several generation models with different balances of speed, maximum duration, and credit cost, so users can pick a fast draft option or a longer, more expressive one. It is aimed at social content creators, marketers, and anyone who wants a talking-head video without recording one.
