LivePortrait

LivePortrait is an AI video talk tool that turns a still portrait into a moving, talking video with AI. Browser based portrait animation tool built on the open source LivePortrait model. Upload a photo and a driving video, tune eye and lip motion, and download an animated clip.

LivePortrait animates a single still image so the face inside it blinks, smiles and moves. The workflow is deliberately simple: supply a portrait photo, then supply a driving video that carries the motion, and the system transfers that motion onto the photo. Output is a video file, produced in seconds for short clips and a few minutes for longer or heavier jobs. The original model was open sourced by Kuaishou Technology, and this site wraps it in a hosted interface with a free playground and a paid creation channel. Image support is broader than the name suggests. Real photographs, anime illustrations, paintings and other artistic portraits all pass through, which makes the tool useful for character work as much as for family photos. A separate enhancement layer can restore, colorize or upscale a source image before animation, so faded or monochrome scans can be prepared inside the same product. Motion control is the part that matters most: eye and lip movement can be tuned for a more natural result, and the driving video can either come from a preset library or be uploaded from your own footage. Uploaded drivers have stated conditions, namely a clear head, limited shoulder movement, a neutral first frame and good lighting. The practical audience is mixed. Archivists and families use it to bring old portraits back to life, illustrators use it to test how a drawn character reads in motion, and social media creators use it to turn a headshot into a short loop. Anyone expecting a full video editor will be disappointed, because the tool does one transformation and hands back a file. Positioning is worth noting. Because the underlying project is open source, the same capability can be run elsewhere by people willing to host it. The pitch here is convenience: a browser interface, no setup, a free playground to test quality, and paid credits when you need more. Refunds on purchased credits are not offered, and animal portraits are listed as a future addition rather than a current feature.
