Create a custom AI avatar to use in your video ads again and again. Whether it's you or someone you've imagined, Zeely can bring it to life.
Here's how to do it:
Open the Zeely app and tap Videos (the play icon) in the bottom menu.
Then, scroll down to Talking avatars and tap See all.
Hit Create avatar.
When the modal opens, upload a reference image for your avatar. Choose one of the following:
Upload from gallery to select an existing image.
Take a photo to use your camera.
You can upload a WEBP, PNG, JPG, JPEG, or HEIC file up to 10 MB. For the best results, use a high-quality photo of one person with clearly visible facial features. Avoid low-quality images, group photos, pets, nudity, hats, and eyeglasses.
Add details to guide avatar generation:
Name your avatar. Give it a name so you can easily find it in your collection later.
Describe your avatar. Write a prompt describing the avatar’s appearance, clothing, accessories, and distinctive features, such as tattoos or wrinkles.
Tap the prompt field to open the full editor. Enter up to 5,000 characters, then tap Save to return to avatar setup. The prompt is optional. Use it with a reference image or leave it blank and customize the avatar using the settings below.
Set the avatar’s identity. Under Identity, choose the characteristics that will guide the avatar’s appearance:
Gender
Age
Appearance
Style
Hair
Body type
Features
The more details you add, the more personalized your avatar will be. Then,
tap Create avatar. Wait a couple of minutes while Zeely generates your avatar.You can find your custom avatars anytime in the gallery and use them in a video. Tap the three-dot menu in the bottom right corner to preview, edit, or delete it.
