App that makes photos sing: Wombo and the best alternatives | Tips and Tricks

Recently a free app called WOMBO is becoming popular on social networks which, through the use of artificial intelligence, processes our photos making them move to the music and sing. In this article we will see how it works and we will also see the best free apps for creating talking photos. In fact, WOMBO is not the only solution to get funny videos starting from the animation of our photos.

The neural networks, which are the engine of WOMBO and of the other apps to make the photos we will talk about in the post sing, are intervening more and more on our shots. In other articles we talked about FaceApp and Luminar AI where other artificial intelligence algorithms are applied.

WOMBO

It is a free app with in-app purchases, available on the Android and iPhone and iPad stores.

WOMBO it works in a very simple way: once installed, you can start the app and choose whether to take a photo (in which the head to be animated is clearly framed) or whether to take it from previous shots.

You can choose the song once you have chosen your photo to animate (some songs are free, others premium) and, after a short processing, you will have the fun video clip to save or share with friends.

The new one has recently been added duet function: by choosing another face – even a famous person – you can create fun singing duets. The result will often be surprising and sometimes even hilarious!

Anyone wishing to try the WOMBO app can do so by downloading the app directly from the Google Play Store for Android smartphones and the App Store for Apple devices.

Best apps to make photos speak in a video

The well-known app is certainly not the only one to use the Deepfake – fake videos that are almost real – to get the animation of the shots. So here is a list of the best alternatives that provide almost similar results and at the same time make different songs available. Many even allow you to choose the song with which to move your mouth. Although the apps listed are free, they often offer additional services (such as deleting advertisements) by signing up for a subscription or in-app payment.

Attention: If you are a particularly privacy-conscious user, it is important to note that this type of processing on photos is done on the cloud and not directly on our smartphone. Our photo is sent to third party servers; the operation of lip sync (lip synchronization) or other heavy algorithms, require a much higher computational power than that available on our portable devices.

1. Redo (Android and iOS)

It is a very famous app; allows you to insert, thanks to deepfake, your own face (upload a photo) or that of others in famous movie sequences o in music video clips complete with complete lip sync.

2. Talkr (iOS)

This is a very popular app that allows you to enter your oi face own audio (recording a message) in a video clip (often also taken from films), with a surprising rendering.

The app is free with in-app purchases and is only available for iPhone and iPad. Like many similar apps it is simple to use: just enter a face, not necessarily your own, you can also use the faces of famous characters, to see it animated. If you want to try Talkr must be downloaded from the App Store.

3. Biugo Video Maker (Android e iOS)

It is not a well-known app but it allows you to create videos of all kinds from our photographs. It is used a lot by TikTok musers.

Among the many options present, some are deepfakes and allow you to animate faces to the rhythm of music. Biugo Video Maker it is free with in-app purchases and is available for both Android and iPhone (but currently only available on the US store). If you want to remove the ad, you have to pay a subscription of $ 10 per month.

4. TokkingHeads: Portrait Video (iOS)

It is probably the app that most resembles a WOMBO app: it takes just a few taps to get some photos that sing more or less famous songs.

Thanks to AI it is also possible to bring old photos to life with an effect that could closely remind you of the paintings of the Harry Potter saga. This app, like the others, is also available for free with in-app purchases. It is possible to download it on the App Store.

5. SpeakPic – Deepfake (Android)

This is an app similar to the previous one but available exclusively for Android. It allows you to create videos from photos, inserting the text that the face in digital copy will have to read.

Unfortunately it doesn’t allow you to make videos from songs (like WOMBO). At least SpeakPic also allows on Android to animate photos, obtaining an effect that closely resembles the animated paintings of the famous fantasy series mentioned above. You can download the app for free directly from the Play Store.
