Dreamina, founded in 2023, is ByteDance's AI image and video generation model, reachable at a subdomain of CapCut's own site, positioning it as a sibling product within ByteDance's broader creative-tools portfolio rather than a competing standalone company, generating video and images directly from text or image prompts rather than editing existing footage.
That generation-first purpose differs fundamentally from CapCut, also covered in this directory: CapCut edits and assembles video a user already has or films, while Dreamina creates entirely new visual content from a prompt, the two products serving different, complementary stages of a ByteDance creator's workflow.
A free tier covers standard use, and paid plans start around $10 a month for more generations. For a creator within ByteDance's ecosystem who wants AI-generated video and images from text prompts specifically, complementing rather than replacing CapCut's editing capability, Dreamina's generation-first purpose addresses that directly.
