Synthesia Custom Avatars

What Are Synthesia Custom Avatars?

Synthesia Custom Avatars are personalized digital representations of real people, designed to look like you and used in AI-generated videos. Like Synthesia’s stock avatars, they support video creation in more than 140 languages.

Who Makes Them

Synthesia is an AI video creation platform. Its custom avatar maker offers two options: a webcam AI avatar you build directly in your browser, or a professional, studio-quality avatar. Businesses can also personalize avatars with branded elements such as outfit colors and company logos.

• Marketers — personalized video messages for campaigns
• Educators — personalized learning experiences
• Content creators — a unique, consistent visual identity
• Customer support representatives — a friendly digital face for support
• Real estate agents — personalized property tours and client communications
• Healthcare professionals — more personal patient communication
• Social media managers — tailored content for different platforms
• Online coaches — personalized advice and training
• Event planners — event announcements and personalized greetings
