About AvatarStudio

AvatarStudio lets anyone make a short dance-duet video in their phone's browser — pick a character, pick a dance, record yourself dancing beside it, and save the finished clip to your camera roll. No download, no timeline-editing skills, no studio.

What AvatarStudio is

AvatarStudio is a mobile-first web app for making playful “duet” videos: short clips where an animated character dances right next to you. Browsing the libraries, picking an existing character and dance, recording, and saving a duet are free; credits are only used for optional extras like generating a custom character or dance and removing the small watermark. You choose a character — we call these Sidekicks — and a dance — a Move — and then film yourself dancing alongside the character. The app composites the two together into a single vertical video sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, and hands you a file you can post anywhere.

Because it runs in the browser, there is nothing to install from an app store. You open the site, browse the libraries, and start creating. Browsing the public Sidekick and Moves libraries does not even require an account; you only sign in when you want to save your own creations, buy credits, or publish something to the public library.

How it works, in four steps

  1. Pick a character. Browse the Sidekick library and tap one you like, or generate your own custom character from a short text description.
  2. Pick a dance. Choose a Move from the dance library. Each Move is a ready-to-use routine the character will perform.
  3. Record beside it. Turn on your camera, position the character where you want it in the frame, and dance along. You can also drop in a video you already shot instead of recording live.
  4. Save to your camera roll. The app builds the finished video and saves it to your device, ready to share. On supported phones this happens on your device in seconds; if a device can't, a cloud fallback finishes it.

Our mission

Making a video where a character performs alongside you used to mean motion-capture suits, 3D software, and hours of editing — or simply wasn't possible for a regular person on a phone. We built AvatarStudio to collapse all of that into a few taps, so the fun of a duet is available to anyone with a phone and an idea, not just studios and professionals.

We care about doing this responsibly. Everything you create is private by default and only becomes public if you choose to publish it and it passes our moderation and human-review gate. We explain exactly what we collect and where it goes in our Privacy Policy, what is and is not allowed in our Acceptable-Use Policy, and how rights-holders can flag content in our Notice & Takedown Policy.

Who makes it
