# Lip Sync + Motion (Image)

# 🗣️ How do I add lip sync and motion to an image? 

Lip Sync + Motion makes a character in a static image appear to speak, syncing mouth movements and facial expressions to an audio file you upload. It also works on existing talking-head clips.

### Add Lip Sync + Motion

Follow these steps to get started:
* Go to **Image → Lip Sync + Motion.**
* Upload your **image or video** (max **200 MB**).
* Upload your **audio file** (**2s–120s**).
* Toggle **Image or Video** mode (Image for static portraits, Video for existing clips).
* Select your **AI model.**
* Click **Generate**, then preview and download.

### Tips for better results

* Use a high-quality, **front-facing** portrait.
* Combine with **Create Image** to generate a character first, then animate it here.

🚨 If lip movement looks unnatural, make sure the face is clearly visible, well-lit, and forward-facing. If audio won't sync, check it's between 2 and 120 seconds.
