FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
8 questions
Why choose Kenerate AI as a HeyGen alternative?
HeyGen runs on monthly subscriptions ($29–$89/mo) with credits that reset each cycle. Kenerate AI accepts creative scripts within clear content rules, offers TikTok UGC presenter styles and talking video across 26 Avatar Talk engines plus Wan 3.0, and sells one-time credits that never expire.
Link to this answerCan I create custom AI avatars with my own face and voice?
Yes. Upload one portrait photo (or a video of yourself) to Avatar Talk and add speech — your own recording, text-to-speech, or a voice cloned from a 3–15 second sample in the Voice Studio — and it renders a lip-synced talking video. Use only your own face and voice, or someone else's with their consent.
Link to this answerWhat languages and accents are supported for speech synthesis?
Text-to-speech covers up to 40 languages on MiniMax Speech and 29 on ElevenLabs Multilingual v2, including English (US, UK, Australian), Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Hindi, with natural emotional intonation.
Link to this answerDo credits on Kenerate AI expire at the end of the month?
No! Unlike HeyGen where monthly credits expire, all credits purchased on Kenerate AI stay in your account forever until you use them.
Link to this answerAre the generated videos watermark-free?
Yes. All video exports on Kenerate AI are watermark-free, and you own your results and can use them commercially.
Link to this answerWhat aspect ratios and export resolutions are supported?
Talking presenters render in 9:16 vertical (TikTok/Reels) or 16:9 widescreen (YouTube), and many video models also offer 1:1 square. You can upscale finished clips up to 4K with the Video Upscaler.
Link to this answerAre there restrictive content bans on marketing scripts?
No. Affiliate marketing, fitness, beauty, dating and viral social media storytelling scripts are all welcome on Kenerate AI. The only limits are our content rules: no illegal content, and no real person's face or voice without their consent.
Link to this answerIs there a free trial available?
Yes. Kenerate AI is free to start: sign up and you get free credits to test Avatar Talk before you buy anything. Video Studio models such as Wan 3.0 need a one-time credit pack; packs never expire, and there is no subscription required.
