Can I generate lip sync videos from static images?

Last updated: January 26, 2026

Context

Many users want to create lip sync videos starting with just a static image (photo) and an audio file. This would involve animating the image to create mouth movements that sync with the provided audio.

Answer

No, our platform does not support generating lip sync videos directly from static images. We specialize in high-quality lip synchronization using existing video and audio sources.

To use our lip sync service, you need:

  • A video where the character appears to be speaking (even if originally silent)

  • An audio file to sync the lip movements to

Workaround: If you only have a static image, you can use external tools to first create a video from your image, then use our platform for lip syncing:

  1. Use an image-to-video platform like fal.ai, Veo, or Sora to generate a video from your static image

  2. Make sure the generated video shows the character with some mouth movements or appearing to speak

  3. Upload both the generated video and your audio file to our platform for lip synchronization

This two-step process will give you the animated, lip-synced video you're looking for, combining the strengths of image-to-video generation tools with our specialized lip sync technology.
