About Synthesia

Synthesia is a London-based AI video generation company founded in 2017, trusted by over 90% of Fortune 100 companies for producing scalable video content. The platform allows users to create professional videos from text scripts using a library of over 230 AI avatars and supports 140+ languages, making it particularly valuable for multinational corporate training, HR communications, sales enablement, and product tutorials without traditional video production costs. Key features include a drag-and-drop video editor, custom AI avatar creation (allowing organisations to create a digital twin of their own presenters), automatic translation and dubbing, SCORM/xAPI export for LMS integration, and a template library for rapid video production. The platform integrates with enterprise tools including SharePoint, LMS platforms, and Salesforce, enabling seamless embedding of AI-generated video into existing workflows. Synthesia is one of the most compliance-forward AI video platforms available. It holds SOC 2 Type II certification (since 2022), ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and notably ISO/IEC 42001:2023 — the international standard for AI management systems, making it one of the first generative AI companies to achieve this certification. The platform is fully GDPR-compliant and processes data on EU-based infrastructure for European customers, addressing data residency concerns. Pricing begins at $29/month (Starter, billed annually) for individuals with limited video minutes, scaling to $89/month (Creator) for more extensive production needs. Enterprise plans offer custom pricing with dedicated account management, custom avatars, priority rendering, and advanced security controls. For learning and development teams, compliance training teams, and enterprise communications departments handling sensitive subject matter, Synthesia's combination of production quality, language coverage, and compliance posture makes it a top-tier choice.
