About oVideo

What is oVideo?+

oVideo (ovideo.io) is a web app that puts you into any video from one photo: an AI character swap that replaces the person's face, hair, body and outfit while the moves and the original sound stay. It also turns a story into a narrated, animated video with the same characters in every scene (Story to Video), and makes Shorts, captions and AI voiceovers.

Is oVideo the same as ovideo.ai?+

No. oVideo at ovideo.io is a separate company and product. OVideo at ovideo.ai is an enterprise video platform we are not affiliated with.

Do I need any video editing skills?+

No. For Put Yourself In you pick a clip or a template and add a photo. For Story to Video and Shorts you write an idea or a script, and the AI writes the scenes, makes the visuals, adds the voice and the captions. Every video opens in an editor if you want to change something.

Is there a free plan?+

Yes. Sign up for free with no credit card. The free plan includes 3 subtitled videos and 3 split screen videos you can download, 2 AI images, and previews of an AI short and a Story to Video storyboard. You can also upload a clip to Put Yourself In and see its price. Creating swaps, stories and other AI videos needs a paid plan, from $10 a month. The free plan is not available in some countries.

Put Yourself In (character, face and body swap)

How do I put myself into a video?+

Open Put Yourself In, pick one of 213 viral templates, upload your own clip or paste a TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts link, choose the part you want, add one clear photo of yourself and create. The AI replaces the person in the clip with you while the moves, the camera and the original sound stay.

Does it change only the face?+

No. Your face, hair, body and outfit come from your photo. With a face photo you get a character and face swap; with a full body photo your build and outfit are swapped too (AI body swap).

How much does Put Yourself In cost?+

19 credits per second at 720p and 26 at 1080p. The price is shown before you create, and a swap that fails is refunded.

Can two or three people be swapped into one clip?+

Yes. Duo and trio templates take one photo per person, and each person in the clip is replaced by one of you.

How does it copy the moves?+

Your clip is the motion reference and your photo is the character, so every move and the camera stay and the original sound is put back.

Can I use any video?+

Use videos you made or have the right to use, and photos of people who agreed. You confirm this before every swap.

Can I swap a face in a photo instead of a video?+

Yes. Put Yourself in a Photo swaps the face and hair in any photo while the pose, outfit, background and light stay. It costs 20, 25 or 35 credits per photo depending on the quality you pick.

Story to Video

What is Story to Video?+

You write a story or an idea and oVideo turns it into a scene by scene AI video with the same characters in every scene, a narrator and optional dialogue, 15 seconds to 5 minutes long, vertical or 16:9, narrated in 7 languages. Kids stories, fruit dramas, horror, Bible and moral stories are popular uses.

Which plan do I need for Story to Video?+

Creator or Pro. A free account can build and preview the storyboard before upgrading.

How many credits does a story video use?+

It depends on the length and the models you pick. The exact price is shown before you create.

Credits & Plans

What is a credit and how many do I need?+

Credits are what you spend on every tool. A video's cost depends on its length, the tool and the AI models you choose, and it is shown before you create. Starter includes 400 credits a month, Creator 2,000 and Pro 7,000.

Can I buy more credits?+

Yes. Subscribers can add one time credit packs: 150 credits for $3.99, 350 for $8.99, 800 for $19.99, 1,500 for $36.99, 3,000 for $69.99 and 6,000 for $129.99. Pack credits never expire while your account is active.

Do unused credits roll over?+

Monthly plan credits reset each billing cycle. Credit packs you buy separately never expire and carry over as long as your account is active.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Cancel anytime from your billing settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the current period with no further charges.

Video Creation

Can I edit the video after it's generated?+

Yes. Shorts and Story to Video open in a timeline editor where you can change scenes, edit captions, adjust voice timing and fine tune every detail before exporting.

What video formats and platforms are supported?+

We support 9:16 vertical (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), 16:9 landscape (YouTube) and 1:1 square, exported as MP4 up to 4K for Shorts and story videos.

What AI voices are available?+

oVideo offers 96 ElevenLabs voices in English, Spanish, German, French, Turkish, Russian and Arabic. You can preview every voice for free, use it in Shorts and Story to Video, or put it on a video you upload with Add AI Voice.

Can I use my own footage or images?+

Yes. You can upload your own images and clips in the editor, and Put Yourself In, subtitles and Add AI Voice all start from a video you upload.

Content & Licensing

Can I use the generated videos commercially?+

Yes. All paid plans allow commercial use of videos you create, as long as you have the rights to any clip, photo or likeness you upload.

Who owns the videos I create?+

You do. You keep ownership of the videos you generate through oVideo. We only hold a limited license to process your content to provide the service.

Publishing & Integrations

Can I publish directly to YouTube?+
