How we chose
No neutral leaderboard yet
Unlike video and music, there is no independent blind-vote ranking for lip sync, so we weigh each tool’s features, limits, languages and price rather than claim a quality score.
Your footage, your characters
We rank tools for syncing your own videos, performances and characters. We note each company’s published consent rules where they exist.
Specs from the source
Inputs, job length, resolution and languages come from each company’s own pricing and documentation, linked below with the date we checked.
An award per tool
Each tool is ranked on overall usefulness and given the one job it does best.

Good lip sync starts with a clean voice track and a steady, well-framed clip. GoCrazyAI covers everything around the sync step.
sync. is the best overall for re-syncing real footage, with 4K output, 95+ languages and an API. HeyGen is best for translating your videos, Hedra for animating a character image and Runway Act-Two for performance capture.
Which lip-sync AI is best for translating videos?
HeyGen covers the most languages (175+) with translation, voice and lip sync in one step. Vozo and LipDub AI are strong alternatives, and Rask AI handles videos with several speakers.
Can AI lip sync a song for a music video?
Yes. Hedra and Dreamina’s OmniHuman animate a character image singing to your track, and sync. re-syncs existing performance footage to a new vocal.
How do I get clean audio for lip sync?
Lip sync follows the voice track, so background noise and music make mouths drift. Separate the voice first with a voice isolator, and if you are syncing to a song, make or export the vocal cleanly, for example with the AI Music studio.
Is there a lip-sync AI with a no-cost plan?
sync., HeyGen, Kling, Dreamina, LipDub AI, Vozo, Rask AI and Magic Hour all offer trial or daily credits. Output on those plans is usually short and often watermarked.
Do I need permission to lip sync someone?
Yes. Only sync faces and voices you have the right to use. HeyGen requires a person’s own recorded consent before creating their digital twin, and most tools’ terms require that you hold the rights to everything you upload.
Does ElevenLabs do lip sync?
ElevenLabs Dubbing does not include lip sync. Its Image and Video workspace can run third-party lip-sync models, which is why it is not ranked here as a lip-sync tool of its own.
