Three simple steps
How to Lip Sync a Photo with Audio
Upload your portrait and recording, choose a resolution,
then generate and download your talking video in a few simple steps.
- 01
Upload a Clear Portrait
Choose a photo with a clear face and an uncovered mouth. For your first try, use one person facing forward or at a slight angle.
- 02
Add Your Audio
Upload the recording you want the person to say. Preview it first. Clear speech from one speaker usually works better than audio with music or overlapping voices.
- 03
Generate and Download
Choose the output resolution and start generation. Check the mouth movement and facial details, then download the finished video.

What Is MiniMax H3 Lip Sync?
MiniMax H3 Lip Sync turns one still image and one supplied audio recording into a talking video. Your image defines who appears on screen, while your recording provides the voice, speech timing, and soundtrack.
One portraitOne audio trackNo prompt required480P to 2K
Your Image Defines the Presenter
The source image establishes the face, clothing, framing, visual style, and background. Photos, AI avatars, animals, and illustrated characters can be used, but one clearly visible face with an uncovered mouth usually works best.
Your Audio Provides the Voice
The uploaded recording supplies the spoken words, original voice, rhythm, pauses, and video length. The tool uses your audio as the final soundtrack rather than generating a new voice from text.
The Model Generates the Facial Motion
The model animates the still face and creates mouth movements that follow the supplied speech. Results can vary when the face is turned away, the mouth is covered, or the recording contains noise or overlapping voices.
Transcription Can Guide Speech Alignment
Optional transcription gives the model additional information about the words in your recording. It can help guide mouth movement for clear speech, but it does not rewrite, translate, or replace the uploaded audio.
Input quality and result limits
Best Inputs and Lip Sync Limitations
A clear face and clean single-speaker audio give the model stronger visual and speech signals to follow. Generated results can still vary, so review the full video before publishing.
Use One Clearly Visible Face
Choose a sharp image with one main face looking forward or at a slight angle. Images with several people may make it harder for the model to identify who should speak.
Keep the Mouth Uncovered
Make sure the lips and lower face are visible. Hands, masks, microphones, heavy shadows, and extreme side profiles can reduce the clarity of the generated mouth movement.
Use Clean Audio from One Speaker
Choose a recording with clear speech and consistent volume. Background music, strong echoes, clipping, and overlapping voices can make speech alignment less reliable.
Test Fast Speech and Singing Carefully
Rapid delivery, singing, unusual pronunciation, and sound-heavy recordings may produce less consistent results. Start with a short sample before using a longer audio track.
Review the Full Video Before Publishing
Check the mouth movement, teeth, facial details, identity, and audio timing from beginning to end. Regenerate the video or adjust the source files if you notice visible artifacts.
Common questions
MiniMax H3 Lip Sync FAQ
How do I make a photo talk with MiniMax H3 Lip Sync?+
Upload one portrait and the audio you want it to speak. Choose a resolution, review the credit estimate, and generate your video. H3 Max Lip Sync animates the face to match your recording.
Is MiniMax H3 Lip Sync free to try?+
New accounts receive 50 starter credits. A five-second video at 480P costs 35 credits, so you can use your starter credits to try one preview at that setting. Generating additional videos requires enough credits in your account.
What image and audio files can I upload?+
Upload one JPG, PNG, or WEBP image up to 30 MB and one MP3 or WAV audio file up to 15 MB. For clearer results, use a sharp image with one visible face and an uncovered mouth, plus clean audio from one speaker.
How long can my talking video be?+
Your audio must be at least five seconds long and can be up to 15 minutes. The generated video follows the duration of your audio. The 15 MB audio file limit also applies.
Can I use my own voice or AI-generated audio?+
Yes. Upload an MP3 or WAV recording you made yourself or created with another service, provided you have permission to use it. This tool uses your uploaded audio as the soundtrack; it does not generate a voice from text.
Can I lip sync an existing video?+
No. This workflow starts with a still image and an audio file. It does not accept an existing video as the visual input.
How much does lip sync cost?+
The cost depends on your audio length and selected resolution: 7 credits per second at 480P, 11 at 768P, 22 at 1080P, or 43 at 2K. Audio duration is rounded up to the next whole second. Review the estimated cost before generating.
How long does generation take?+
A 15-second video typically takes about 30–60 seconds to generate. Longer audio, higher resolutions, or heavy service traffic may increase the wait. Your result appears in the output area when it is ready.
Will I lose credits if generation fails?+
No. If generation fails, the credits deducted for that task are returned to your account. If your balance does not update, contact support@minimax-h3.com with the task details.
What can I download, and will the video have a watermark?+
Download your completed talking video in the resolution you selected: 480P, 768P, 1080P, or 2K. Downloads are free and contain no watermark. Credits are used to generate the video, not to download it.
