Make your photo talk, now with your face

Make your photo talk could already give any photo a voice. Now there’s a third way: With my face. Turn on your camera and mic, and the photo opens its mouth and blinks when you do, in your own voice. It works with people, pets, toys or paintings.

Make your photo talk with a dog opening its mouth, copying the person on camera The dog opens its mouth because the person on camera is talking.


How to use it

  1. Open Make your photo talk from the start screen or from Quick create.
  2. Upload a photo with a front-facing face and pick the format.
  3. Draw a line over the mouth, corner to corner, and tap the center of each eye.
  4. In step 3, What will it say?, choose With my face.
  5. Tap Turn on camera and mic, calibrate your face (relaxed face, closed mouth, 2 seconds) and tap Record.
  6. Talk and blink. When you’re done, tap Make it talk: the video lands on the timeline with your voice.

Step 3 with the options Type it, My audio and With my face (beta) Three ways to give it a voice: type it, upload audio or do it with your face.


Works with pets

The photo doesn’t have to be a person: the dog, the cat, the parrot or the statue in the park work too. All that matters is marking the mouth and eyes well.

Close-up of the dog with its mouth open Everything below the mouth line drops like a jaw.

Tip: if the mouth opens too little or too much, use How wide the mouth opens in step 2.
