Introduction
AI lip sync technology allows the synchronization of a character’s or person’s lip movements with an audio track or written text converted into speech. Depending on the model, you can upload an image or video together with audio, or simply provide text to generate both the voice and the synchronized lip movement.
Different models focus on specific strengths, such as realism, speed, creative control, or avatar generation.
This article introduces several available models and their key features.
This example shows how it is possible to achieve high-quality lip sync. The video was generated with OmniHuman, where the character not only speaks in sync with the audio but also moves naturally, adding personality and expressiveness.
Tips and Best Practices
Use images or videos where the mouth is clear and visible.
Avoid fast camera movements to keep tracking accurate.
OmniHuman, Kling, and Pixverse handle both realistic and stylized/cartoon characters very well.
Sync Lipsync is more limited to realistic characters.
Match video and audio length to avoid cutoffs.
In text-to-speech, use capital letters and exclamation marks for stronger expression.
High-quality, front-facing inputs give the best results.
Try different voices and speeds to improve naturalness.
Always render the video to check the final lip sync quality.
You can also create audio directly in the platform ([link here]).
Lip Sync Models
1. OmniHuman
General description
Generates digital humans from a single image and an audio file.
Key features
Highly quality avatars with natural gestures.
Works across styles such as photorealism and anime.
Example result
A digital human generated from a single image not only speaks in perfect sync with the audio but also moves naturally in coordination with the speech. This gives the character more personality and expressiveness, making it ideal for storytelling, virtual presenters, or immersive experiences.
2. Pixverse Lipsync
General description
Part of a broader video generation ecosystem, offering lip sync combined with visual effects.
Key features
Supports text-to-speech (TTS) and audio upload.
Cinematic quality with style and motion control.
Example result
A cyberpunk-style character delivers the line “Hey, let’s go on an adventure” with smooth lip synchronization. The speech feels natural, matching both the audio and the expressive design of the character, demonstrating the model’s strength in cinematic and stylized video generation.
3. Kling LipSync
General description
Focused on short, fast lip sync generation from uploaded video and audio or text.
Key features
Supports both audio upload and text-to-speech.
Adjustable voice speed and type.
Simple workflow, best for quick clips.
Example result
Using only the text input “The wizard cast a fireball from his wand that went boom!”, it was possible to synchronize the speech with the boy’s movements in the video. The result feels natural and fluid, showing how text-to-speech can be directly combined with lip sync to create convincing short clips.
4. Sync Lipsync v2
General description
A “zero-shot” model that aligns any video with new audio while preserving the original speaking style.
Key features
Preserves speaker identity and expression.
Multi-speaker support with active speaker detection.
Example result
With just a simple front-facing video of the character, the model was able to generate convincing lip synchronization. The speech matches smoothly with the mouth movements, demonstrating how Sync Lipsync v2 can create realistic results even from straightforward video input.
How to Compare Models
When choosing a lip sync model, consider:
Realism vs. Creativity – some focus on lifelike results, others on stylistic effects.
Input types – image-based avatars, video re-dubbing, or mixed workflows.
Limitations – video length, resolution, or face detection accuracy.
Conclusion
AI lip sync tools are rapidly evolving, offering a variety of options for creators, marketers, and developers. Whether the goal is hyper-realistic avatars from images (OmniHuman), cinematic video generation (Pixverse), fast and simple clips (Kling), multi-speaker dubbing (Sync v2), or looping animations, each model brings unique strengths.
By understanding the trade-offs in realism, flexibility, and technical requirements, users can select the right tool for their specific creative or professional needs.
