What is Avatarify?

Avatarify is a mobile app that animates still photos into short talking or singing clips: you choose a picture, supply audio or record a short video of yourself, and the app drives the face to match. It is built for quick, shareable results rather than production work, with a template library of songs and reactions on top of your own audio, and it handles portraits, pets and illustrations as readily as selfies. On iOS the processing runs on the device, so the photos you supply are not uploaded to a server, which is unusual in this category. The name is also used by a separate open-source desktop project.

FAQ

Do my photos get uploaded?

On iOS the app states that processing happens on the device, so the images and audio you supply are not sent to a server. Check the current policy for your platform, because behaviour can differ between the iOS and Android builds.

Is this the open-source Avatarify project?

Not the same thing. This entry covers the hosted mobile app at avatarify.ai. The open-source desktop project sharing the name is a separate codebase aimed at real-time face animation for video calls, maintained independently.

Can I use clips commercially?

Treat the free tier as personal use. Paid subscriptions usually remove the watermark, but for anything commercial read the current terms and make sure you have permission from the person in the photo.
