Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI lip sync?
AI lip sync uses deep learning to animate a still photo so that the mouth movements precisely match spoken audio. The result is a realistic video where the person in the photo appears to be actually talking — with natural jaw movement, lip shapes, and facial expressions.
How does Puppetry's AI lip sync work?
Upload any portrait photo, type your script, and choose from 500+ AI voices. Puppetry's AI generates the audio, then animates the face with frame-accurate lip sync — matching every syllable to the correct mouth shape. The whole process takes under 2 minutes.
Is AI lip sync free?
Yes — Puppetry offers a free tier with 3 lip-synced videos per month, no credit card required. Paid plans start at $3/month for more videos and higher resolution.
Can I use my own audio for lip sync?
Currently, Puppetry generates audio from your script using AI voices. You choose the voice, language, and speaking style — the lip sync is automatically matched. Voice cloning is available on Studio plans, so you can lip sync with your own voice.
What photos work best for AI lip sync?
Front-facing portraits with a clear, unobstructed face work best. The photo should have good lighting and the face should take up a significant portion of the image. Puppetry works with real photos, AI-generated faces, illustrations, and even cartoon characters.
How accurate is the lip sync?
Puppetry uses a proprietary lip sync model trained on millions of video frames. It generates phoneme-accurate mouth movements — each syllable maps to the correct lip shape. The result looks natural with realistic jaw movement, lip rounding, and subtle facial expressions.
Can I lip sync in different languages?
Yes. Puppetry supports 65+ languages with native-speaking AI voices. The lip sync adapts to each language's phonemes — so a Japanese script produces different mouth movements than an English one.
How is Puppetry different from other lip sync tools?
Most lip sync tools require you to provide your own audio. Puppetry is all-in-one: type a script → AI generates the voice → AI animates the face with lip sync. Plus you get 500+ voices, 65+ languages, voice cloning, and HD output — starting free.
