LivePortrait is a Python-based portrait animation tool from Kuaishou Technology that synthesizes lifelike videos from a single source image, driven by a video, audio, text, or generated motion. It uses an efficient implicit-keypoint framework with stitching and eye/lip retargeting control, and works across realistic, painted, sculpted, and 3D-rendered portrait styles as well as fine-tuned animal faces.

Use cases

• animate a still portrait photo using a driving video
• make a talking head video from one image
• transfer facial expressions and head pose between people
• control eye and lip opening extent in an animated portrait
• animate paintings, sculptures, and 3D renders
• make animal photos sing or dance driven by human motion
• edit facial motion in an existing portrait video

When to choose

• you need fast, controllable face animation rather than slow diffusion-based generation
• you want to animate non-photorealistic portraits or animal images
• you need fine-grained control over eye and lip retargeting
• you want a one-click Windows installer or online demo to try quickly

When to avoid

• you need audio-driven lip sync as the primary workflow with production support
• you require a permissively licensed library for commercial redistribution (license is non-standard)
• you need full-body or multi-person animation
• you lack a GPU and need real-time performance
