DreamActor-M1

The site presents DreamActor-M1 as a framework that animates a face and body from one photo. It also states it is not affiliated with ByteDance, publishes no company or pricing, and its demo runs a different model.

Trust & Privacy

Data, GDPR & hosting

A consolidated view of how DreamActor-M1 handles your data.

GDPR overview

The site publishes a privacy policy and terms of service, both dated 15 April 2024, which list data categories and user rights but never mention the GDPR, a named controller, a legal basis, a data protection officer or an Article 27 representative — and the terms describe a different domain, dreamactor-m1.com. The gdprCompliance flag is set to N because of that silence, not because the site declines the regulation anywhere: nothing published takes a position on it either way.

Watch-outs

Things to keep in mind

Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting DreamActor-M1.

  • The home page states that the website is a hobbyist project and is not affiliated with Bytedance, which published the DreamActor-M1 research: the site is not the publisher of the model it promotes.
  • The demo does not run the announced model. The HTML of /playground embeds a third-party Hugging Face Space, han-123-liveportrait.hf.space, which runs LivePortrait — a different model, from a different publisher.
  • The site's own blog post reports that the authors of the paper state their intention to restrict access to the core models and code, so the announced model has not been released for anyone to run.
  • The legal pages were written for another domain: the terms define the Website as "DreamActor-M1, accessible from https://dreamactor-m1.com", and both pages are dated 15 April 2024, before this domain was registered on 04/04/2025.
  • No legal entity is named anywhere. The terms define Company circularly as DreamActor-M1, there is no postal address and no contact page, and the only support address, support@dreamactor-m1.com, sits on a neighbouring domain.
  • Using the page means uploading a photograph of a face, yet nothing is published about who owns the uploaded files, how long they are kept or where they are stored.
  • The footer links to two unrelated microsites (aiactionfiguregenerator.site, speedstars.ai), and clone domains (dreamactor-m1.com, dreamactorm-1.com) serve the same content.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official DreamActor-M1 website?
No. The home page carries an explicit disclaimer stating that the site is a hobbyist project and is not affiliated with Bytedance or any of its official projects or websites. DreamActor-M1 is a research model published by ByteDance Intelligent Creation.
Who operates this website?
No identifiable operator. The terms of service define Company circularly as DreamActor-M1, no legal entity, no postal address and no about page appear on any of the six pages, and the footer carries only a brand copyright line.
Does the demo really run DreamActor-M1?
No. The HTML of the /playground page embeds a third-party Hugging Face Space, han-123-liveportrait.hf.space, which runs LivePortrait — a different model. The announced model is not demonstrated anywhere on the site.
How much does it cost?
No pricing information is published: there is no pricing page, no plan and no amount anywhere on the site. The home page only invites visitors to try it for free today.
What happens to the photos I upload?
The privacy policy says nothing about it. It lists generic data categories and rights, but never addresses uploaded files, their retention, the country they are stored in, or whether they are used to train models.
How can I contact support?
There is no contact page. A single address, support@dreamactor-m1.com, appears in the privacy policy and the terms — on a different domain from the site itself, and only readable after decoding the obfuscated email tokens in the HTML.
Conclusion

Should you pick DreamActor-M1?

Guidaio cannot form a view on this tool. What dreamactor.org publishes — a summary of a research paper, benchmark tables copied from it, and legal pages written for another domain and dated before this one existed — does not establish who operates the service, what happens to a photograph once uploaded, or on what terms it is offered, and the only working demonstration on the site runs someone else's model. This is an observation about the documentation available on the review date, not an assessment of the DreamActor-M1 research itself, which ByteDance published and documented separately.
