Product Launch: Introducing Avatar-IV

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Avatar-IV model, HeyGen’s latest breakthrough in digital storytelling, going live the week of April 28th, 2025 across all our social media channels! To celebrate, Nik Nolte, Head of Ai Success, will be hosting a live webinar alongside Adam Halper, Core Product Manager. We will showcase what makes the Avatar-IV model powerful, versatile, and collaborative—with insights from creators, behind-the-scenes access, and interactive moments throughout.

What Is the Avatar-IV Model?

Avatar-IV is a next-generation AI avatar engine that transforms a single image into a fully animated video with natural voice sync, expressive face dynamics, and—for the first time—authentic hand gestures.

1. Only one image required — no video, no motion capture
2. Multimodal voice-to-motion engine creates natural expression
3. Supports portrait, half-body, and full-body formats
4. Integrated hand gestures for added realism
