Dreamwave Review

Dreamwave is an AI headshot generator that creates professional portraits from one clear photo. It is best for companies rolling out matching headshots across offices, and for individuals who want a firm promise that their likeness never trains its AI.

Research-based review. Features and prices are checked on the vendor's own website. This vendor publishes too little for us to show a score. We haven't tested it hands-on yet.

The verdict

Worth it for companies that want matching headshots with per-person pricing and HR syncing; individuals should know the price sits inside the app and refunds end at upload.

Pros

  • A single clear photo is all you need to upload.
  • Your likeness is never used to train AI models, not even anonymously.
  • Company headshots include 150 photos and a free redo per person, and seats never expire.
  • Company orders connect to Workday, ADP, Rippling, Gusto and BambooHR.

Cons

  • Individual package prices are not public and appear only inside the app.
  • There are no refunds once generation starts.
  • The free redo is on company orders, not individual packages.

We rate AI headshot generators on what each vendor publishes on its own site. Dreamwave is still compared against the other 5 and still counts towards their averages; we are not showing it a score of its own, because too much of one would be our guess rather than its figures. Not publishing is not a mark against the product. How we score.

Dreamwave is an AI headshot service that works from a single photo, sold to individuals and to companies. What decides whether it suits you is whether you are buying for yourself or for a team, since the company product carries the public prices, the larger photo sets and the free redo.

What is Dreamwave?

Dreamwave is a US company, and its headshot service runs in the browser: you upload a photo or drag and drop it onto the page. Besides headshots for individuals and companies, it runs AI photo booths for events.

Individual package prices are not public; they appear only inside the app once you start. Company headshots have a published per-person price, and a free generator opens a few spots each day for anyone who wants to try it.

Getting your headshots from Dreamwave

Dreamwave needs just 1 clear photo, so there is no set of selfies to gather first. From that one photo, individual packages deliver 75 photos, and company headshots deliver 150 photos per person.

Every shoot can be edited afterwards with Dreamwave's AI editor, which changes outfits and backgrounds and handles touch-ups. Company headshots take 1 to 2 hours to arrive and are exported as print-ready 4K files.

Each member of a company order gets a free redo, which is not available with individual packages. Generation begins the moment you upload, and Dreamwave does not refund after that point; its support team helps with problems instead.

Dreamwave claims no rights to your likeness or to your images, whether the photo you upload or the headshots it generates.

Dreamwave for companies

Company orders run from a single dashboard that enforces one visual standard across offices, with shared style selection and bulk download of the finished headshots. Seats never expire, so a company can buy ahead for future hires and hand out headshots as people join.

Company headshots connect to Workday, ADP, Rippling, Gusto and BambooHR out of the box, so finished headshots can flow into the HR system. Enterprise is quoted through sales and includes HR system sync and a dedicated account manager.

Dreamwave pricing: what each plan gives

  • Individual: 75 photos, paid once. The price is not public and appears only inside the app.
  • Company headshots: $49 to $59 per person, paid once, with 150 photos and a free redo for each person. Seats never expire.
  • Enterprise: quoted through sales, with HR system sync and a dedicated account manager.

The free AI headshot generator opens a few spots each day. They fill fast, often within a minute or two.

Privacy and security

Your likeness is never used to train future AI models, not even anonymously. Dreamwave deletes your personal data by default within 30 days of no use, counted from your last use rather than from delivery, and you can delete your photos at any time. Data is stored in the US.

Support runs by email, with separate inboxes for sales and general enquiries.

Who Dreamwave suits

Dreamwave suits companies rolling out matching headshots: the per-person price is public, each person gets 150 photos and a free redo, seats never expire, and the dashboard keeps every office to one look while the headshots flow into the HR system. It also suits individuals who have one good photo and nothing more, since a single clear photo is all it needs, and anyone who wants a firm promise that their likeness will not train its AI, even anonymously.

It suits less well individuals who want to compare prices before signing up, since individual prices appear only inside the app. Individuals also go without a safety net: their packages carry no free redo, and there are no refunds once generation starts.
