Synthesia, a privately owned company headquartered in the United Kingdom, was founded in 2017 and employs approximately 740 individuals. The company reported $113.2M in revenue as of 2025. Its core offering is a synthetic media generation platform used to create AI generated video content through its generative AI solutions.
On September 18, 2026, Synthesia was identified as one of several European companies that achieved success despite initial investor skepticism. Earlier, on September 17, Synthesia's core offering was described as generating video content from AI avatars and text, converting scripts into presentations, a distinct approach compared to personalized video platforms like Blings. This capability aligns with the use of AI avatars to streamline the creation of training videos by enabling users to write a script, select a digital presenter, choose a voice, and generate the video, thereby circumventing traditional production delays. Previously, on September 16, British AI firm Synthesia warned that "sci-fi" fears surrounding artificial intelligence risked leading to poorly designed regulation for the UK's technology sector. Alexandru Voica, the company's head of corporate affairs and policy, stated to City AM that there was "no evidence" to support claims of AI being out of control.
