FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is CraftStory?
CraftStory is an AI video platform that turns a single photo into a hyper-realistic talking video, or creates a custom avatar of you from a short video. Add a script (or your own audio) and generate studio-quality video with natural gestures and lip-sync in 30+ languages — no camera or crew required.
Do I need a photo or a video?
Both work, for different things. To turn a single image into a talking video, a photo is enough (Model 2.0). To create a reusable, hyper-realistic custom avatar of yourself, record a short video of about 15 seconds.
How realistic are the videos?
Very. CraftStory produces photorealistic talking videos with natural skin texture, accurate lighting, expressive emotions, gestures, and precise lip-sync.
What languages are supported?
30+ languages with accurate lip-sync, plus voice cloning so your avatar can speak in your own voice.
How long can the videos be?
Up to 30 minutes from a single image.
Are CraftStory videos labeled as AI-generated?
Yes. Every video generated with CraftStory carries embedded C2PA Content Credentials — an industry-standard, machine-readable label that identifies the file as AI-generated and names CraftStory as the tool. Anyone can check it by uploading the file to contentcredentials.org/verify. The label supports transparency rules such as Article 50 of the EU AI Act and travels with the downloaded file.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Start free with credits to make your first video — no credit card required. Create an account at app.craftstory.com.
