What it is
Dreamwave generates studio-style portraits from a few photos and lets you swap outfits, change backgrounds and refine details. It now focuses on company headshots, with HRIS sync, and says it never trains on customer photos and keeps data in the US.
What the AI does
- Headshots from as few as 5–8 photos
- Outfit swaps and background changes
- Free redo for team members
- HRIS sync (Workday, ADP, Rippling and more)
Pros and cons
- Explicitly does not train models on your photos
- Delete your data and models any time
- Natural look without over-processing
- No refund once processing begins
- Mixed Trustpilot reviews and billing complaints
- Individual pricing not clearly shown on its site
How it scores
Strong privacy stance and natural results; strict refund terms and mixed reviews lower value.
