Getting higher quality results
For sharper, more natural-looking talking photo videos:
Start with strong images
- Use high-resolution, front-facing photos with the face centered.
- Avoid heavy motion blur, extreme angles, or tiny faces.
- You can clean up or sharpen inputs with AI Image Upscaler or Unblur Image.
Optimize facial structure and expression
- Subtle, neutral expressions usually animate best.
- If your original image is low-quality or stylized, generate a more detailed base with AI Art Generator or AI Photo Generator.
Tidy up the frame
- Remove distracting objects with AI Remover or Remove Object from Photo.
- Swap or simplify backgrounds with AI Background Generator or Image Background Remover.
- Restore or colorize old photos for talking-history or archival content using Old Photo Restoration and Photo Colorizer.
Post-process your final video
- Improve clarity with Video Upscaler.
