Now that we have the image, we will edit it using Canva:

Upload Image to Canva
- Create a 16:9 canvas for a video.
- Upload the selected image to Canva.
Expanding the Image
- Use Canva's Magic Expand tool to adjust the size of the image.
- Choose the best option from the expanded versions and download it as a PNG file.

Step 3: Creating the Talking Avatar

Next, we will animate the image in D-ID:

Upload Image to D-ID
- Sign in to your D-ID account and create a new video.
- Upload the expanded image to D-ID and prepare it for animation.
Generating the Voice in 11 Labs
- Create or choose a script, and input it into 11 Labs.

Step 4: Merging Audio and Video

Link Audio with the Avatar in D-ID
