Turn a script into a presenter video
HeyGen reads your script through a stock or custom avatar in the voice and language you pick, so a training clip or explainer does not need a filming day.
Free plan includes 3 videos a month, up to 1 minute each, with no card required. Creator is $29/month, or $24 billed annually.
What you can do
A script becomes a presenter shot
Skip the camera, lights, and retakes when the video is a person reading lines you have already approved.
Custom avatars require consent
The person shown in a custom avatar records their own consent video, and the avatar stays private to your workspace.
Translation without a reshoot
Paid plans list 175+ languages and dialects. Pro adds script editing so a reviewer can fix a translation before it ships.
Unused credits carry forward
On monthly billing, leftover credits roll into the next month. On annual billing, they build up until the renewal date.
How it works
- 01
Write or import the script
Type the lines, paste them in, or import a PowerPoint or PDF to build scenes from slides you already have.
- 02
Choose an avatar and a voice
Pick a stock avatar, or build a custom one from about 30 seconds of footage plus a short consent video. Then set the voice and language.
- 03
Generate and export
Credits pay for the render. Add captions or a translation, then export at up to 1080p on Creator or 4K on Pro.
Who it’s for
HeyGen suits people who need a person on screen delivering lines they have already written. It fits training modules, product explainers, onboarding clips, and localized versions of the same message. Teams can cast a stock presenter, or record a short clip to build a custom avatar of someone who has given consent.
Choose how many video credits you need
A free account can make a few short videos. Paid plans add a monthly credit allotment, longer videos, and watermark-free export.

How credits are spent
Credits are one balance for video and assets. The AI model, video length, and complexity change what each render costs.
- On monthly billing, unused credits roll over for one more month. On annual billing, credits build up until renewal.
- Credits do not carry over after you cancel. Creator and Pro users get more credits by moving to a higher tier.
- Business users can buy one-time credit packs or turn on auto-reload. Enterprise pricing is custom.
Prices and credit costs may change. Confirm currency and the current allotment on HeyGen before you buy.
Questions
What is HeyGen?
HeyGen is a web studio that turns a script into a talking video. You choose a stock avatar or create a custom one, pick a voice and language, and generate. Captions, translation, slide imports, and a screen recorder sit in the same editor.
Is HeyGen free?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 videos a month, each up to one minute, with 500+ stock avatars, one custom video avatar, and 30+ languages. No card is required. Free exports carry a HeyGen watermark, which paid plans can switch off before you generate.
What do the paid plans cost?
Creator is $29 a month, or $24 a month billed annually, with 600 credits and 1080p export. Pro starts at $49 a month with 1,000 credits and 4K export, and higher Pro tiers add credits. Business is $149 a month plus $20 per extra seat. Enterprise is quoted by HeyGen.
How do HeyGen credits work?
Credits are a single balance for video and asset creation. What a render costs depends on the AI model, the video length, and how complex the generation is. Creator and Pro users get more credits by moving to a higher tier. Business users can buy credit packs or turn on auto-reload.
Do unused credits roll over?
Yes, within limits. Monthly subscribers keep unused credits for one more month. Annual subscribers keep them until the yearly renewal date. If you cancel, your plan and credits last until the end of the billing cycle, then the account moves to Free and leftover credits expire.
Can I use HeyGen videos commercially?
HeyGen says videos made on eligible paid plans can be used for ads, marketing, social media, and client work. Stock avatars are cleared for that use. A custom avatar can be used commercially if you hold the rights and the consent of the person shown. HeyGen positions the free plan for testing.
Can I make an avatar of someone else?
Only with their participation. HeyGen requires the person in the avatar footage to record their own short consent video at the same time the footage is submitted. They can do it from a phone by scanning a QR code, so they do not need to be in the room with you.
