📝 Verdict in brief

If you want to quickly create videos with avatars, translate your content into several languages or generate visuals in just a few clicks, Akool is a serious option to consider.
The tool made a name for itself with its Very high quality Face Swap, and then expanded its offering:
👉 video editor with avatars,
👉 video translation,
👉 talking pictures,
👉 image generation,
👉 personalised video campaigns.

After testing, my verdict is nuanced Akool is impressive in some respects (Face Swap, marketing personalisation, photo-talking), but can still be perfected in others. stability, l’video editing and the clear pricing.
