DreamFace Alternative: 6 Free-to-Download Apps for iPhone and Android

Quick answer: the best DreamFace alternative for each job

• Ready-made effect videos from one photo, with no prompt: Ginly AI, our app. Pick one of 100+ templates, such as a hug, a dance, an old-photo animation or a zombie transformation, add a photo and tap Generate. It's free to download, and new users may get free starter credits to try it.
• Photos that speak or sing, on iPhone and Android: Revive.
• Putting the person in your photo into dance and meme motions: Viggle AI.
• Describing your own scene, or animating an image with more control: Kling AI.
• AI avatars, selfie videos and sticker packs: Hula AI.
• AI photo styles plus dance videos: Momo.
• Voice cloning, singing voice conversion or AI covers: Ginly AI has no voice tools, so if those are your main use, DreamFace itself is still the closer fit.

DreamFace alternatives compared side by side

Ginly AI is not affiliated with DreamFace or its developer. DreamFace and the other app names on this page belong to their owners.

What DreamFace is, and why people look for alternatives

DreamFace: AI Video Generator is published on Google Play by a developer listed as AI Art Magic Avatar Studio, and it is free to download with in-app purchases. Its Google Play description covers avatars that speak, with mouth movement matched to the audio, videos made from text or images with keyframes, a Voice Studio with voice cloning in 19+ languages, singing voice conversion and AI covers, DreamAct motion animation, pet videos in which pets speak or sing, and AI image tools. DreamFace's official website, dreamfaceapp.com, links to this Play listing and also offers online tools such as an AI hug page.

DreamFace's iPhone availability is unclear. Its website shows a “Download on App Store” button, but when we checked on October 1, 2026, Apple's App Store lookup returned no result for the app ID previously associated with DreamFace, and the matching US App Store page returned an error. App Store apps with similar names come from other developers, so check the developer name before you install anything called DreamFace.

Searches such as “DreamFace alternative free”, “DreamFace alternative app” and “similar apps like DreamFace” point to three needs: an app that clearly runs on iPhone, a way to try something before paying, or a different kind of video. DreamFace is strong at what it focuses on, and its Google Play listing shows a high rating from a very large number of ratings and an update on September 23, 2026.

Where Ginly AI fits, and where it doesn't

Ginly AI is not a replacement for DreamFace's core features. It does not make avatars or photos speak or sing, does not move lips to audio, and has no voice tools. It does a different job: Ginly AI turns a photo into a short AI video using ready-made effect templates. You choose an effect, add one photo and tap Generate, and the AI animates your photo into a scene a few seconds long, such as a hug, a dance or a transformation.

How we compared

We read each app's official App Store (US) and Google Play listings on October 1, 2026, plus the DreamFace, Viggle AI and Kling AI websites and Apple's lookup for DreamFace's iPhone app. Every fact about another app links to its source or names it. We compared what each app makes, how you create (ready-made effect, prompt or motion template), platforms, pricing model and who it suits. We compared listings and did not run the same photo through every app, so we make no claims about output quality. We describe pricing models, not prices, because prices vary by country and change often, and we left out apps from companies that supply AI technology to Ginly AI. Spotted something out of date?

6 DreamFace alternatives, one by one

1. Ginly AI: ready-made effect videos from one photo, no prompt

We list Ginly AI first because we make it, and because it does a different job from DreamFace's speaking avatars: short effect videos with nothing to write. Every template carries its own instructions, so you pick an effect, add a photo and tap Generate. Videos are made in the cloud by third-party AI services named in our Privacy Policy, so you need an internet connection.

• Effects: 100+ templates, including animate old photos, AI hug video, AI dance video, AI younger self, AI aging video, earth zoom AI and 3D figurine AI, plus seasonal sets such as Halloween AI trend and AI Christmas video. New templates are added from time to time.
• Photos: one photo per video. Duo effects such as Hug also accept two separate photos, which the app places side by side in one image.
• Platforms: iPhone and iPad (iOS 13 or later, per the App Store listing) and Android 7.0 or later. No web or desktop version.
• Pricing model: free to download; creating a video uses credits. Credits come with weekly subscription plans (Plus, Pro and Ultra), and subscribers can top up with credit packs. New users may get free starter credits, and a daily credit gift may be available. Offers can change.
• Good to know: no sign-up needed, because Continue as Guest works; the interface is available in 11 languages; you can save videos as MP4 files or share them; and if a video fails, you can request a credit refund in the Library (limits apply). The AI providers' content filters may reject some photos.
• Where DreamFace is stronger: avatars and photos that speak, voice tools, videos from your own prompt, pet videos in which pets speak or sing, AI image tools and online tools on its website. It is also far more established on Google Play. Ginly AI clips are a few seconds long, and you can't write prompts, edit an effect or start from a video.
• Best for: hug, dance, old-photo, transformation and trend videos from one photo on iPhone or Android, without writing a prompt.

Animate Old Photos

People in an old family photo smile and wave, or a sepia print turns to color.

AI Hug Video

Two people in your photo turn and hug, from one photo or two separate photos.

AI Dance Video

Turn one full-body photo into a short dance routine, with no choreography or prompt.

AI Younger Self

A younger you, imagined by AI from one recent photo, steps in beside you.

AI Aging Video

A silver-haired older you walks into your photo and poses at your side.

Earth Zoom AI

The camera dives from orbit through the clouds and over the city, down to you.

2. Revive: photos that speak or sing, plus hug and dance effects

Revive: AI Face Photo Animator comes from RefaceAI Limited and is also on Google Play. Its Play description lists photos that speak or sing, pets that talk, AI hug videos, photo dances, mermaid and warrior effects, Christmas, Halloween and Easter collections, and AI avatars and headshots. Ginly AI is not affiliated with Revive or its developer.

• Platforms: iPhone, iPad and Android.
• Pricing model: a weekly PRO subscription, a lifetime access option and avatar packs, per its App Store in-app purchase list.
• Why consider it: its listing covers photos that speak or sing, the kind of feature DreamFace's listing leads with, and it has an official iPhone app.
• Limitations: both store listings showed a last update of July 1, 2026 when we checked.
• Best for: photos that speak or sing, plus hug and dance animations from one picture. More options: apps like Revive.

3. Viggle AI: put the person in your photo into motion

Viggle AI: Meme Maker is made by WarpEngine and is also on Google Play. It is a meme maker that puts a character from your photo into motion and dance templates, and it also runs on the web at viggle.ai, the site linked from its App Store listing. Its Google Play description also lists Mic, which makes your character talk, sing or rap. Ginly AI is not affiliated with Viggle AI or its developer.

• Platforms: iPhone, iPad and Android, plus the web.
• Pricing model: Pro plans billed weekly, monthly or yearly, Live plans and extra credits, per its App Store in-app purchase list.
• Why consider it: if you used DreamAct to make a character dance or act, Viggle AI is built around that kind of motion.
• Limitations: it focuses on memes and motion, and its App Store listing shows English only.
• Best for: dance and meme motion edits starring the person in your photo.

4. Kling AI: describe your own scene

Kling AI: AI Image&Video Maker from KLING AI PTE. LTD. generates videos and images from text or images on Kling's own model. According to its Google Play listing, clips run up to 15 seconds, Video Extension takes them to 3 minutes, and a community feed lets you reuse another creator's idea with “Clone & Try”. Ginly AI is not affiliated with Kling AI or its developer.

• Platforms: iPhone, iPad and Android, plus a web version at kling.ai.
• Pricing model: credit packs, Standard, Pro and Premier monthly plans, and weekly membership items, per its App Store in-app purchase list.
• Why consider it: it covers the kind of prompt- and image-based video generation DreamFace's listing describes, its clips can run far longer than Ginly AI's, and you have more say over the result.
• Limitations: its listing centers on creating from text and images, so expect to write prompts and choose settings rather than just pick an effect, and its App Store listing shows only English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
• Best for: creators who want to direct the motion themselves. More options: Kling AI alternative.

5. Hula AI: avatars, selfie videos and stickers

Hula AI: Trend Video Generator is made by Prequel Inc. and is listed on Google Play as Hula - AI Video Generator. Its store description covers AI avatars, photo-to-video effects, video remixes, sticker packs made from one selfie, and cartoon and time-travel styles. Ginly AI is not affiliated with Hula AI or its developer.

• Platforms: iPhone, iPad and Android.
• Pricing model: Hula Premium weekly or yearly subscriptions plus creation packs and coins, per its App Store in-app purchase list.
• Why consider it: it makes AI avatars and sticker packs from your selfies, alongside trend videos.
• Limitations: video effects are one part of a wider toolkit of avatars, remixes and stickers.
• Best for: playful selfie videos, avatars and stickers. More options: Hula AI alternative.

6. Momo: AI photo styles plus dance videos

Momo: AI Photo & Video Maker is published by ScaleUp and is also on Google Play. Its Play description names AI dance videos, a viral video creator, selfie retakes, a hairstyle changer, an aging filter and an AI photo upscaler, with hundreds of styles to choose from. Ginly AI is not affiliated with Momo or its developer.

• Platforms: iPhone, iPad and Android.
• Pricing model: weekly or yearly subscriptions plus coin packs, per its App Store in-app purchase list.
• Why consider it: it pairs AI photo tools, which Ginly AI doesn't have, with trend videos such as dances.
• Limitations: photo styles lead its listing, and video is one feature set among several.
• Best for: AI portrait styles with some trending video effects.

Which DreamFace alternative for which job

• Bringing an old family photo to life: with Ginly AI's animate old photos effects, people in an old photo smile and wave, or a sepia photo gains color and gentle motion. The photo is animated, not restored, and nobody speaks; for a photo that speaks, look at Revive.
• Hug videos: Ginly AI's AI hug video effects include Hug, which takes one photo of two people or two separate photos; see how to make an AI video from two photos and our best AI hug app roundup.
• Meeting a younger or older you: AI younger self and AI aging video, part of Ginly AI's AI love and family videos.
• Dance and motion: Ginly AI's AI dance video effects for a set routine, or Viggle AI for motion templates.
• Viral trends: earth zoom AI, 3D figurine AI, mini me AI and the AI stadium video fan cam, among Ginly AI's AI trend videos.
• Halloween looks: the zombie filter and the rest of the Halloween AI trend set.
• Superpowers and transformations: AI flying video among the AI superhero videos, and more in AI transformation videos.
• A scene you describe in your own words: Kling AI.
