sync.so Avatar (Image to Video)
sync.so Avatar (image-to-video) turns a single still into a talking character, working with any illustration or animated frame paired with a voice track. Provide a source image and an audio clip, and it animates the face to lip-sync to the audio — the output length follows the audio duration. Ideal for virtual presenters, animated avatars, and narrated character content from a single image.
