Everyone has a story to tell. HeyGen enables you to say it your way.

Why we’re building HeyGen: from idea to innovation
HeyGen began with a simple idea — to make video creation effortless. Today, we are transforming storytelling with AI, enabling anyone to create high-quality videos without limitations.
We live in a video-first world
Over 1 billion hours of videos are watched daily on YouTube, and the average person watches 17 hours of video each week. So if a business wants customers, it needs videos. And videos need cameras — and actors, locations, editing software, reshoots… with all of that, finished videos can cost at least $1,000 per minute.
And then AI arrived
People love video. But most people dislike being on camera. That is what founder Joshua Xu realised when he was an engineer at Snap, building features for SnapChat Ads and the AI camera. But with AI video generation, everyone can unleash their inner storyteller — removing the camera actually unlocks creativity and freedom in visual storytelling. And so HeyGen was born.
Now you only need a script
With HeyGen, businesses can simply write their script and generate their video. No camera, no budget, no headaches. We’ve helped over 1,00,000 companies and millions of people create, localise, and personalise videos at scale — and we’re just getting started. As we set industry standards for the ethical use of AI video, and lead the charge towards more immersive AI experiences, we know this is only the beginning. We’re excited to see where this story goes.
Built for the best, backed by the best
HeyGen is proud to be backed by leading investors including Benchmark, Conviction, Thrive Capital, and Bond, who share our vision of transforming storytelling through AI-powered video.

Have questions? We have the answers
Does HeyGen’s AI dubbing tool provide the most natural lip-sync capabilities?
Yes. HeyGen is built with advanced facial synchronisation technology, ensuring lip movements match perfectly with voiceovers. This creates a natural, human-like dubbing experience that works seamlessly across different content formats, from marketing videos to training materials.
What does HeyGen’s AI dubbing tool do?
HeyGen’s voice dubber replaces the original audio with AI-generated multilingual voiceovers while preserving tone, style, and lip sync. It enables creators to quickly produce polished, localised videos without complex editing or expensive dubbing teams.
Can HeyGen handle multiple languages efficiently?
Yes. HeyGen supports multilingual dubbing in over 175 languages and dialects, enabling a single video to be quickly adapted into multiple languages. This makes global content distribution seamless for enterprises and content creators who are looking for consistent quality across international markets.
How does the AI maintain accurate lip sync during dubbing?
HeyGen aligns voice tracks with facial movements using AI-driven animation and timing models. This ensures the dubbed speech matches lip movements naturally, helping viewers focus on the message instead of getting distracted by sync issues.
Does the voice dubbing sound natural or robotic?
HeyGen’s AI voices sound lifelike, expressive, and well-suited for professional use. Unlike robotic text-to-speech tools, they deliver warm and natural audio, making videos feel authentic for learning, marketing, or storytelling.
Can I select different voices or accents when dubbing?
Yes. HeyGen provides a wide library of voices across genders, tones, and regional accents. This flexibility helps you match your video’s branding, audience expectations, and cultural context for maximum impact.
Do I need video editing skills to use HeyGen AI dubbing?
No editing skills are required. Simply upload your video, choose a language and voice, and HeyGen handles everything automatically. The platform’s intuitive design makes dubbing accessible even for beginners.
