AvatarVideoGen
Turn any photo into a talking AI video — without leaving Canva
Upload a photo, add a script or animation prompt, and AvatarVideoGen renders a lip-synced talking avatar or an animated video clip you can drop straight into your Canva design.
A Canva app — install it from the Canva Apps directory.
How it works
Three steps, entirely inside the Canva editor.
Upload a photo
Any portrait works. Pick a background, or keep the original one.
Add a script or prompt
Write what the avatar should say and pick a voice, or describe how the photo should move.
Generate and drop it in
Your video renders in the app and adds straight into your Canva design.
Two ways to generate
Pick the mode that fits what you're making.
Talking avatar
Write a script, choose a voice, and get a lip-synced talking video generated from your photo — great for intros, explainers, and social clips.
Animated photo
Describe how the scene should move — camera pans, gestures, environment changes — and get a short animated video from a single still photo.
