Image to Talking Video
Image-to-video takes a portrait image and produces a clip of that face speaking. Whether it's a photo, a headshot, or an AI-generated portrait, ClapClip animates the mouth and head from your audio or script and renders the talking result locally on Windows.
- Real or AI-generated portraits
- Audio- or text-driven lip-sync
- No uploads
- No cloud length limits
Windows 10 & 11
Works with real and generated portraits
A scanned photo, a studio headshot, or an image from a generator all work as input, as long as the face is clear and front-facing. ClapClip detects the face and animates it the same way.
Audio or text drives the motion
Provide a voice recording or a script and ClapClip predicts the matching mouth shapes frame by frame, so the image speaks in time with the words.
Local, private, unlimited length
The conversion runs on your GPU with no upload, so your image and voice stay on the machine and clip length isn't capped by a cloud plan.
FAQ
What kind of image works best?
A clear, front-facing portrait with the full face visible and even lighting. ClapClip detects the face in the image and animates it to speak.
Can I use an AI-generated face?
Yes. As long as the portrait is clear and front-facing, a generated image works just like a photo.
Is my image uploaded for processing?
No. Image-to-video runs entirely on your Windows PC, so the image and audio never leave your machine.
