Fast, secure and ethical by design

Built on verification, founded on trust

AI video has a trust problem. We built HeyGen to address it with verified identity at its core, enforced moderation and security stress-tested against the highest standards.

Verified identity for every avatar

Every custom avatar requires on-camera identity verification from the person depicted. No verification, no avatar. Removal requests are always honoured.

Moderation you can rely on

Machine learning scans flag violations as soon as content is generated. Trained human reviewers handle edge cases. No violence, political campaigning or harm to minors. Enforced, not just promised.

Security, rigorously tested

Annual penetration testing, continuous vulnerability management and round-the-clock monitoring. We treat compliance as the minimum standard, not the end goal.
