Three ways to get your actor

  1. Describe it with AI

    Write who it is, pick a style and add a reference if you have one. Choose which poses and emotions it gets, or describe a new pose. Add more poses later.

  2. Start from a photo

    A person, a pet or any object. Remove the background, mark the mouth and it talks, cutout style.

  3. Pick from the cast

    Start right away with a ready-made character and change it later.

Automatic video

From a topic to a finished video

Write what your video is about. MonkeyTalker researches the topic, writes the script, suggests a character and a voice, directs it word by word and builds the video with a template. You review and change anything you want.

Read all questions

What does MonkeyTalker make?

MonkeyTalker makes animated characters talk. Pick one of the 30+ characters in the cast, create your own with AI or turn a photo into a cutout puppet, then give it a voice and a script and direct its emotions and poses. Finish the video in the editor and export it for Shorts, Reels or TikTok, or download the character to use in another editor.

Can I try it for free?

Yes, in the demo on the homepage. Pick a character, write a script, choose a voice and a background, and download the video with a watermark. No account needed. The free plan is paused for now; to create your own character and export without a watermark, choose a plan.

Which characters can I use?

The cast has more than 30 ready-made characters in styles such as claymation, pixel art, comic ink, Y2K and 3D toon. Each one has 4 emotions, 12 poses and 6 mouth shapes. You can also create your own character with AI or from a photo of a person, a pet or an object.

Can I edit the video after generating it?

Yes. The editor has a timeline with layers for characters, text, captions, images, video, GIFs, stickers, sounds and templates, plus stock media from Pexels, Pixabay and GIPHY. Your work saves automatically and you export when it is ready.

How many credits does a video use?

A standard talking video is roughly 60 credits per minute, with a 15-credit minimum per generation. The actual quote depends on the script length and pauses. MonkeyTalker shows your exact credit cost and balance before you confirm the generation.

Can I use the character in another editor?

Yes. Download the character video with a transparent background, or with a green or solid background, and use it in CapCut, Premiere, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve. You can also download all the sprites of your character as transparent PNGs.
