Synthesia is the leading AI video platform for creating professional videos with AI avatars. Turn text into engaging video presentations in 130+ languages—no cameras, actors, or studios required.

Synthesia transformed corporate video production by eliminating its biggest barriers: cameras, lighting, presenters, and studios. Write your script, select an AI avatar, and generate professional video in minutes. What traditionally required days of production now takes less than an hour.

The technology powers training videos for Fortune 500 companies, product demonstrations for startups, and educational content for institutions worldwide. Synthesia avatars present information clearly and professionally, speaking any of 130+ languages with authentic pronunciation and natural lip sync.

Key Capabilities

Choose from 150+ diverse stock avatars or create a custom avatar from your own likeness. Each avatar can speak your script in any supported language, enabling global content from a single source. Update videos by editing text—no reshoots required.

The template library accelerates creation with pre-designed layouts for training, marketing, product demos, and more. Screen recording overlays capture software demonstrations. Brand kits ensure consistent colors, logos, and fonts across all videos.

Who Is It For

Synthesia serves L&D teams creating training videos at scale, marketing teams producing localized content for global markets, product teams demonstrating features without live recordings, and HR departments delivering consistent communications. Any organization creating repetitive video content benefits enormously.

What Sets It Apart

The update capability is transformative. Traditional video becomes outdated and requires expensive reshoots. Synthesia videos update instantly—change the script, regenerate, done. This makes video as easy to maintain as written documentation.
