What is CraftStory?

CraftStory is an AI video platform that turns a single photo into a hyper-realistic talking video, or creates a custom avatar of you from a short video. Add a script (or your own audio) and generate studio-quality video with natural gestures and lip-sync in 30+ languages — no camera or crew required.

Do I need a photo or a video?

Both work, for different things. To turn a single image into a talking video, a photo is enough (Model 2.0). To create a reusable, hyper-realistic custom avatar of yourself, record a short video of about 15 seconds.

How realistic are the videos?

Very. CraftStory produces photorealistic talking videos with natural skin texture, accurate lighting, expressive emotions, gestures, and precise lip-sync.

What languages are supported?

30+ languages with accurate lip-sync, plus voice cloning so your avatar can speak in your own voice.

How long can the videos be?

Up to 30 minutes from a single image.

Is there a free plan?
