New Features ✨

AI Personas

Create a video as easily as writing a blog post when you use AI Personas. Instead of spending time filming yourself for every video, take your existing written content and turn it into a realistic talking head video. Create a persona of yourself or use an existing one in our library. Try it out yourself by navigating to the Personas tab on the left side of the Kapwing studio.

New Text Styles

We added 50+ modern text styles so you can add eye-catching text to your project in a single click. Browse them in the Text tab on the left side and click to add to your project. You can switch styles at any point after you add text in the Text Styles carousel on the right side. Feel free to customize any aspect of the style, such as font, size, color, drop shadow, or more, so it perfectly fits the aesthetic you're looking for.

More Realistic Text to Speech Voices

Kapwing added dozens of new voices to our synthetic voice options so that you can have more control over the sound of the audio layers. From the audio tab, generate a text-to-speech layer and preview the available voices from the dropdown menu. Powered by Google and ElevenLabs, these voices are the best-in-class TTS voices available. We also added support for Lithuanian in our AI Dubbing workflow!
