TokkingHeads - AI Face Animator & Lip‑Sync
Visit Tool →
TokkingHeads Brief overview
TokkingHeads is a Rosebud AI tool designed to “bring portraits to life” by turning a single face image into an animated, talking-style avatar. Instead of manually animating facial movements frame-by-frame, you start with a portrait (real photo, character art, or an avatar image) and generate an expressive motion result in seconds. It’s often used for quick “talking head” clips, playful memes, short character videos, and turning static profile pictures into animated content. TokkingHeads is available on the web and as an iOS app, making it simple to create and share animated portraits without specialized editing software.
Simple how-to-use
- Open TokkingHeads on the web or install the iOS app.
- Upload or select a portrait image (a clear, front-facing face typically works best).
- Choose how you want the face to animate:
- Type text for the character to speak (text-driven animation), or
- Use a built-in generation option to animate the portrait into a short clip, or
- Use camera-based “puppeteering” features (where available) to drive expressions.
- Generate the animation and preview the result.
- Export your creation as a shareable video/GIF (depending on the option you choose), then post or send it to friends/social platforms.
