What Synthesia does

Start with source material you already have: a prompt, a document, a PowerPoint or a link, and Synthesia turns it into a video with AI avatars, voiceovers and motion graphics. You can choose stock avatars, design one in Avatar Builder, or make a Personal Avatar from a photo or short video; the Personal Avatar requires a live on-camera consent recording from the person shown. Closed captions are generated automatically.

For reaching other audiences, 1-Click Translation covers 140+ languages, and AI Dubbing can re-voice an existing video in the original speaker's voice, with optional lip sync. Voice cloning is also offered. Finished videos go out by share link, embed or SCORM export to an LMS, with automatic updates, and built-in analytics plus quizzes, clickable CTAs and branching make them interactive.

Teams get Brand Kits, live collaboration and shared workspaces. Sessions add interactive avatars for roleplay practice and survey interviews, and APIs let developers generate videos or place real-time interactive avatars in their own products. Synthesia states SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 certification and GDPR compliance.
