One still. A voice or a song. Lips that land on every word.
AI Lip Sync
Type a script and a preset voice reads it while the face is animated to the speech — or upload a song and your photo sings it. Talking videos run on Seedance 2.5, the tightest lip sync in the studio.
A 10-second talking video is 10 credits on Standard or 69 on Studio at 720p, and the price of your exact script is on the button before you commit. Plans renew monthly until cancelled and can be cancelled online at any time — see pricing details.
Lip sync that starts from a still
Most lip-sync searches want one thing: a face that appears to say or sing something, with the mouth landing on the sounds. WowMade generates that from a single image. The model studies the portrait, listens to the audio, and synthesises every frame — jaw, lips, cheeks, blinks and the small head movements that make speech read as speech. Nothing is cut from existing footage.
There are two routes, and they suit different jobs. Talking starts from words: you type a script, a preset voice reads it, and a stock presenter or your own photo speaks it — the route for explainers, product intros, lessons and ads. Singing starts from music: you upload a track, pick 15 seconds, and a photo, a described singer or a saved character performs it — the route for covers, birthday songs and music promos.
Hear it before you make one
Two videos made in this studio, each with its own track. Tap Play with sound — lip sync is judged with the audio on.
Pick the route, then the engine
| Route | Engine | Audio and length | Cost at 720p |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talking · Studio | Seedance 2.5 | Script, up to ~80 s | 69 credits / 10 s |
| Talking · Standard | InfiniteTalk | Script, up to ~80 s | 10 credits / 10 s |
| Singing | Seedance 2.0 | Your song, up to 15 s | 60 credits / 15 s |
Talking videos render at 480p or 720p, singing videos at 720p or 1080p. The studio prices your exact script or song window before you generate. Plans renew monthly until cancelled — see pricing details.
A lip-synced talking video in three steps
Write the script
Up to 1,200 characters. Add a laugh, a sigh or a pause where you want one, then press Listen first to hear the exact read for 1–2 credits.
Choose who says it
One of 12 AI-generated stock presenters — up to five at once — or your own front-facing photo with the consent statement confirmed.
Generate in sync
Pick Studio or Standard and 480p or 720p. The video lands in your workspace, ready to download, extend or upscale.
What makes lip sync look right
A clear mouth. A front-facing portrait with the mouth closed or relaxed, even light and nothing across the lips gives the model the most to work with. Keep hands, hair and anything else clear of the mouth and jaw.
Words written the way they are said. The voice reads exactly what you type, so write numbers, dates and abbreviations as you want them spoken, and use punctuation for rhythm — a comma is a breath, a full stop is a beat. Clean pronunciation is what the lips follow.
The right engine for the stage. Draft on Standard until the script is final, then make the version you publish on Studio. For a longer piece, several short clips joined in the video merger are easier to get right than one long take. More technique is in the lip-sync generator guide.
Consent, labelling and what is not allowed
The stock presenters are fictional characters generated by WowMade. Your own photo must show you, or an adult who gave you permission, and you confirm that before generating; screenshots, photos of a screen or print, group shots and public figures are declined, and a video made from a photo carries a visible AI-generated label. Every video generated here carries a signed C2PA provenance mark identifying it as AI-generated, in line with Article 50 of the EU AI Act, and anyone can read it back on the verification page. The Content & Safety Policy sets out what may not be created. Plans renew monthly until cancelled and can be cancelled online at any time; the full terms are on pricing details.
Frequently asked questions
What is AI lip sync?
AI lip sync generates mouth, jaw and face movement that matches a piece of audio, so a still portrait appears to speak or sing it. On WowMade there are two routes: type a script and a preset voice reads it while the face is animated to the speech, or upload a song and a photo sings a 15-second window of it. Both produce a new video; nothing is taken from a library of recorded performances.
Which AI model gives the most accurate lip sync?
For speech, Studio quality on Seedance 2.5 Talking Avatar, ByteDance's talking-head model: it animates the whole face, head and shoulders to the read, and holds the identity steady over long takes. Standard runs on InfiniteTalk, which syncs well at a fraction of the price and suits drafts. Songs are sung on Seedance 2.0, timed to the vocal in the window you pick.
Can I upload my own voice recording to lip sync?
Not for speech. Talking videos are always read by one of the preset voices from a script you type, which is what lets every script be checked before any video is made, and why WowMade never reproduces a particular person's voice. Your own audio is supported for songs: upload an MP3, WAV or M4A and the singing studio lip-syncs a 15-second window of it.
Can I lip sync an existing video?
Not today. Every lip-sync video here is generated from a still: a stock presenter, your own photo, or for songs a description or a saved character. If you already have a clip made on WowMade, the video studio can extend it or edit it, but it does not re-time the mouth in footage that exists.
How long can a lip-sync video be?
A talking video follows the script: up to 1,200 characters, which is about 80 seconds of speech, in one clip. A singing video covers up to 15 seconds of the song, and you choose exactly which 15 with the trimmer; auto-detect finds the chorus for you.
Which languages does the lip sync work in?
Scripts can be written in 15 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic, with 10 preset voices. Write the script in the language you want spoken and pick the same language in the studio. Songs can be in any language, because the lip sync follows the vocal you upload.
How much does AI lip sync cost?
Talking videos on Studio quality are priced per second of speech: 10 seconds is 69 credits at 720p or 35 at 480p, with a 4-second minimum. Standard is 10 credits for 10 seconds at 720p or 6 at 480p. A 15-second 720p singing video is 60 credits. The exact price is on the button before you generate, and failed videos never cost credits.
