Puppetry

Puppetry is an AI-powered iOS app for creating realistic talking-face videos from photos or images. It uses advanced face animation and lip-sync technology to map speech and expressions onto a static face, allowing users to generate short, shareable video clips without manual animation skills. Users can start with a selfie, a portrait, or an imported image, then add audio via voice recording, text-to-speech, or uploaded sound. The app automatically animates the face to match the speech, including mouth movements, eye blinks, and head motion.

Key capabilities include precise lip-syncing to spoken words, support for multiple languages via text-to-speech, and adjustable animation intensity to fine-tune expressions. Users can export videos in common formats for social media, presentations, or messaging. Puppetry is useful for content creators, educators, marketers, and anyone needing quick character-based video content—for example, creating explainer clips, personalized greetings, character dialogue, or social media posts. The app’s interface is designed for non-technical users, while still offering enough control for more advanced creators to refine timing and performance. Puppetry streamlines the process of turning static faces into dynamic, talking characters directly from an iPhone or iPad.
