What is D-ID?
D-ID is a digital human platform that turns scripts, briefs, slide decks or documents into avatar videos in more than 120 languages. Its Creative Reality Studio lets users pick or build an avatar from an image or video, choose a voice (including a cloned one), and adjust backgrounds, layouts and media before exporting MP4 files.
Beyond recorded video, D-ID offers Visual AI Agents: real-time, conversational avatars that can be embedded on sites or apps, speak several languages and trigger workflows. A developer API with real-time streaming animation lets teams build these avatars into their own products, and self-hosting of real-time avatars is listed as an option.
D-ID fits marketing, training and communications teams that need presenter-style video at scale, as well as developers building interactive avatar experiences. It integrates with PowerPoint, Canva and Google Slides.
