One photo becomes a video that speaks, moves, and reacts. Use it for short-form social, product walkthroughs, language learning, or any time you need a face on camera without filming. No studio, no schedules, no reshoots.
How to Make a Talking Photo
Go from a still image to a speaking video in three steps. No filming, no editing experience needed.
Upload your photo
Drop in your portrait. Make sure the face is clearly visible and well-lit so Omnia can read expression and movement.
Add your script or audio
Type a script and pick a voice from the library, record audio in the app, or upload your own track. The agent matches the voice to the photo's energy.
Generate your talking photo
Hit generate. Omnia delivers an expressive performance with natural movement and micro-expressions tuned to your audio.
Performance, Not Just Movement
The face responds to the rhythm, emotion, and timing of the audio.

Driven by Omnia
Omnia is Hedra's character animation model. Veo, Sora, and Seedance can animate an image into motion. Omnia animates an image into a performance driven by audio. Speech rhythm, emotion, and pacing shape every blink, brow lift, head tilt, and micro-expression on the face.
Thousands of voices, dozens of languages
Pick from a library of voices across ElevenLabs, MiniMax, and other integrations. Type a script with text-to-speech, clone your own voice, or upload audio you already have. Switch languages anytime without re-recording.
Any photo, any style
A real portrait becomes a talking head. An illustration or cartoon becomes an animated character. A brand mascot becomes a spokesperson.
