Puppets.World

In plain words

Puppets.World is an AI tool that animates static images of people, paintings, or drawings by syncing them to recorded video. Users upload a portrait and a video, then the app uses AI to make the image reproduce the speech and facial expressions from the video. The tool is designed for content creators and social media users who want to bring still images to life for entertaining or marketing purposes.
