AI avatar videos are transforming digital content creation—whether for marketing, social media, education, or entertainment. With Pollo AI Avatar, you can turn any photo into a lifelike, talking avatar in minutes—no acting, filming, or editing skills required!
This step-by-step guide will walk you through how to create your own AI avatar video, from uploading an image to generating a professional-quality video with natural lip-sync, facial expressions, and gestures.
Step 1: Choose the Right Photo for Your AI Avatar
The quality of your AI avatar video depends heavily on the photo you upload. Here’s what to look for:
Best Types of Images for AI Avatars
✔ High-Resolution Images (Minimum 1080×1080 pixels)
✔ Clear Facial Features (Well-lit, front-facing, eyes visible)
✔ Neutral Backgrounds (Avoid cluttered or distracting backgrounds)
What Works Best?
- Professional headshots (Ideal for business avatars)
- Selfies with good lighting (For personal or social media avatars)
- Cartoon or illustrated characters (For branded mascots)
- Pet photos (For fun, viral content)
What to Avoid?
❌ Blurry or low-resolution images
❌ Side profiles or covered faces
❌ Overly complex backgrounds
Pro Tip: If you’re creating a brand avatar, use a logo or mascot image for a unique touch!
