• Q. What should I keep in mind when creating a personal avatar in Synthesia?

• Q. How do I prevent Synthesia from discarding my avatar?
  We encourage you to create and use custom avatars. Avatars that you own and control provide long-term consistency and avoid the risk of abandonment.

  The free plan offers 3 minutes of video creation per month and limited avatars. Paid plans offer more video creation time, support for multiple avatars and languages, brand customization, team collaboration, APIs, and more advanced features.
