Create your own original avatar

The whole flow: from one photo to your own talking avatar

Besides the avatars provided, MotionVox lets you create an original avatar from your own photo. You choose it in the editor like any other avatar and give it lines to speak.

The screens on this page come from one demonstration that created an avatar named ミサキ｜作例 from a single photo. The photo is used with permission for this purpose.

In this demonstration it took about two and a half minutes from choosing the photo to the finished message, and about 50 seconds to generate a 12-second avatar clip in the editor. Times vary with the photo and with how busy the service is.

BEFORE YOU START

Before you start

Prepare one photo of the person. Use only a photo of yourself, or one for which the person (or a guardian, for a minor) has given permission to use it as an avatar. The screen asks for a photo facing forward, mouth closed and eyes open, from the chest up including both shoulders, in PNG, JPEG or WEBP.

Screenshots show actual sample projects. Instructions describe desktop browser operation; this guide can also be read on a phone.
