Create and refine custom avatars in Google Vids
AI Avatars in Google Vids provide high-quality speakers preferred five times more often than those on other platforms. Now you can customize and refine these avatars to match your brand and message, with Nano Banana 2.
Why use custom avatars?

- Global Localization: Adjust appearance and background to fit specific regional locales.
- Tailored Imagery: Stylize outfits—such as a tuxedo—to match the specific tone of your video.
Complete Creative Control
- Guided Generation: Use a simple prompt or the guided form to create your initial avatar.
- Easy Refinement: Request specific tweaks like adding glasses, hats, or changing locations.
- Vocal Variety: Choose from seven available voices to seamlessly pair with your custom visuals.
