Start with a conversation.
Tell Pixo what you’re making—your idea, audience, style, and length. The agent turns your brief into a script and a production-ready plan.
AI Talking Photo Generator
A portrait, a line, and a shot that comes back with sound. MiniMax H3 in Pixo's Playground animates the photo you upload and generates the speech with it — no separate voice step, no silent export to fix later.
The gap between a still photo and a shot that speaks
Lip-Sync Tools Hand You a Silent File
Most talking-photo tools animate the mouth and leave the audio to you. You end up recording or generating a voice elsewhere, then fighting the sync.
The Voice Never Sounds Like the Person
Generic text-to-speech over a specific face is the tell. Without a way to reference the voice you want, the result reads as a puppet.
One Frame, No Framing
Apps output whatever crop the photo happened to have. For a story, a reel or an ad, the aspect ratio is not an afterthought.
From idea to final cut, in one chat.
Direct every shot before it renders.
Pixo AI reviews every scene, camera move, reference, and sound cue before generation. Change one shot without starting the whole video over.
Keep your world consistent.
Pixo AI manages and reuses the same characters, products, locations, voices, and visual styles across every scene.
Let AI assemble the final cut.
Pixo AI arranges clips, voiceover, music, and sound on one timeline. Regenerate what changed, keep what works, and export the finished video.
How Pixo animates a photo with MiniMax H3
1
Upload the Portrait
Bring a photo of yourself or of someone who has agreed to appear.
2
Name the References
Tell the model what each file is for — @image1 is the character reference (lock this face), and an audio file as the voice reference if you want a specific timbre.
3
Write What They Say
Put the exact line in the prompt. H3 follows written dialogue precisely, so the delivery matches the words rather than approximating them.
4
Generate With Sound
The result is a 4–15 second shot at up to 1440p with native stereo audio, in the aspect ratio you picked.
Everything an AI talking photo needs
Speech Generated With the Picture
Audio comes back with every result rather than being added afterwards, so the mouth and the words were made together.
Voice Reference, Not Just Text-to-Speech
Attach an audio file as a timbre reference and the delivery follows it, instead of defaulting to a stock narrator.
The Exact Line, Not a Paraphrase
Written dialogue is followed literally, so names, numbers and phrasing land the way you wrote them.
Framed for Where It Goes
Six aspect ratios from 21:9 to 9:16, chosen before generation rather than cropped after.
Consent Kept Simple
Built around your own photo or one you have permission to use, so there is no ambiguity about whose face is speaking.

Hago videos para clientes de tres países y Pixo me resuelve la producción completa. Storyboard en la mañana, revisiones en la tarde, entrega el mismo día.
I run two faceless channels and this is the whole production stack. Script goes in, storyboard comes out, I tweak three panels and hit generate.
歌ってみた動画のMVを自分で作れるようになりました。絵コンテを直すだけで世界観が変わるのが楽しいです。
Clients ask for changes on Friday afternoon. I regenerate one scene instead of rebooking a crew — that alone pays for the subscription.
Every single I released this year has a video now. I storyboard the whole thing in an afternoon, regenerate the scenes that feel off, and export for YouTube and Reels in one go.
我做短剧账号，以前一集要剪两天。现在分镜自动生成，我只改镜头描述，当天就能更新。
Product demos used to take two weeks with a freelancer. Now I draft a script in the morning and the team reviews a finished cut after lunch. The scene-by-scene control is what sold me.
Je réalise des clips pour des artistes indépendants. Pixo me permet de tester trois directions artistiques dans la même journée — impensable avant.
브랜드 협찬 영상을 매주 두 편씩 만드는데, 장면별로 다시 생성할 수 있어서 수정 요청이 와도 무섭지 않아요.
Pixo thinks in shots, not clips. I can hold a location and a character across an entire sequence — that's the part every other AI tool gets wrong.
