About

Synthesia is the world's leading AI video generation platform for business communications. It enables anyone to create professional-quality videos featuring realistic AI avatars as presenters — without cameras, actors, recording studios, or video editing expertise. Simply type a script, choose an avatar, and Synthesia produces a polished video in minutes.

The platform is used by over 50,000 organizations including Heineken, Reuters, Zoom, and IHG for training videos, product demonstrations, onboarding materials, internal communications, and marketing content. Videos can be produced in 120+ languages with AI dubbing that matches the avatar's lip movements perfectly, making global content localization dramatically faster and cheaper.

Synthesia's avatars range from professional stock presenters to custom avatars built from a client's own video footage. The platform integrates with popular tools including PowerPoint, Canva, and various LMS platforms, fitting seamlessly into existing content production workflows.
