Dreamwave AI
AI headshots, company portraits and event photobooths — individual packs from $35 for 40 photos.
Overview
Dreamwave AI is a San Francisco-based AI headshot generator that now presents itself as an AI creative lab, selling individual and company headshots, AI event photobooths, pet portraits and gifts. Individuals upload a single photo for 40 to 100 headshots in business, clinical and real-estate styles; companies get 150 photos per person, bulk discounts of up to 40% and HRIS sync with Workday, ADP, Rippling, Gusto and BambooHR. Editing covers outfit and background changes, a magic eraser and unlimited human touchups on the top pack.
Individual packs run from $35 for 40 photos to $99 for 100; company headshots cost $49-59 per person. A limited free generator opens a few spots a day. The team says it comes from MIT, Google DeepMind and Meta AI, and that it does not train its models on customer photos. Its terms make all purchases final sale, and there is no public developer API.

ASEAN Perspective
Dreamwave AI in Southeast Asia
Dreamwave does not maintain any APAC-specific infrastructure, regional pricing, or localised support channels, and all data processing is US-based — a consideration for organisations in Singapore, Indonesia, or the Philippines that must satisfy PDPA or comparable data-residency expectations. Payment is in USD via standard international card processors, which works cleanly across most ASEAN markets. The lifestyle and outdoor aesthetic (café lighting, street-style backdrops) maps well to the visual culture of Southeast Asian professionals who find grey studio headshots sterile, but there is no regional content curation or local-language interface. Enterprises with cross-border data constraints should confirm Dreamwave's data handling against their own compliance requirements before committing.
Dreamwave has moved beyond the lifestyle headshots it launched with: it now sells business, clinical and real-estate headshots, company portraits with HRIS sync, and AI event photobooths. The packs are clearly priced — $35 for 40 photos up to $99 for 100 with unlimited human touchups — and the editing tools add real convenience. But the trust signals are weak: an unclaimed Trustpilot page at 3.1 from 12 reviews, several about subscription renewals customers say they never agreed to and refunds refused; terms that make every purchase final sale; and one reviewer flagging that its claimed 2,000 five-star reviews have no visible source. The comparisons ranking it behind BetterPic and Proshoot come from those competitors, so treat them as marketing. The photos can look good; read the terms before paying.
What we found
Read the refund policy before you pay: Dreamwave's unclaimed Trustpilot page — 3.1 out of 5 from 12 reviews, at least two of them plainly about a different streaming product — is dominated by complaints about being charged for subscription renewals customers say they never signed up for, refund requests going nowhere, and a 'free AI headshot generator' hook that asks for photos and an email address before revealing that payment is required. One reviewer says the company's claimed 2,000 five-star reviews have no visible source to check against. That's a thin sample, but the complaint pattern is specific and repeats enough to take seriously — this isn't the usual scattered one-star noise.
The product itself has shifted. The lifestyle scenes it once led with — coffee shops, golden-hour light — are gone from the site, which now sells business, clinical and real-estate styles on studio and clinical backdrops, with outfit and background changes, a magic eraser and a human retouching team. Individual packs sit on a pricing page the menu does not link: $35 for 40 photos from a single selfie, $45 for 60 with one redo, and $99 for 100 with two redos and unlimited human touchups. Company headshots cost $49-59 per person for 150 photos each, with bulk discounts up to 40%.
The head-to-head reviews ranking it behind BetterPic and Proshoot are published by BetterPic and Proshoot, so they are not independent. There is no public developer API, though the company page advertises HRIS sync with Workday, ADP, Rippling, Gusto and BambooHR. Its own terms make every purchase final sale. Given the refund complaints turning up on Trustpilot, this is a tool to approach with a credit card you're prepared to dispute if things go sideways.
Dreamwave now calls itself an AI creative lab, selling event photobooths for conferences and trade shows, pet portraits and gifts alongside headshots. A limited free generator still opens a few spots each day, and the company says it does not train on customer photos and keeps their data in the US.

Notable facts
- Dreamwave claims to have delivered over 25 million AI headshots since launching in 2023 — more than many mid-size portrait studios produce in a decade.
- The platform's outfit-and-backdrop combinations are designed in-house by a team of photographers, stylists, and designers, not just generated by prompts.
- Fortune 500 companies including Google, Apple, and Harvard are cited as enterprise users, suggesting the no-studio model has reached boardroom-level acceptance.
- Despite processing millions of photos, Dreamwave explicitly states it does not use customer images to train its AI models — a privacy commitment rare in the consumer AI photo market.
