Tips for higher-quality talking avatars

  • Use clear, high-resolution images
    Higher resolution faces produce more stable, realistic motion. Upscale with AI Image Upscaler if needed.

  • Favor frontal or near-frontal faces
    Extreme angles, heavy occlusions (hands, props), or low light can reduce realism.

  • Keep scripts tight and conversational
    Short, focused messages tend to perform better in ads, landing pages, and social feeds.

  • Maintain brand consistency
    Reuse the same avatar, style, and voice across content. You can generate or tweak brand-aligned visuals with AI Logo Generator, AI Fashion Generator, and AI Outfit Generator.
