Reface Unboring Animate review
A face-focused photo animator with web, desktop and mobile access, but no free plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Reface Unboring Animate turns portraits and other still photos into short animated videos. It is designed for personal entertainment and semi-professional social content, with facial movement, expressions, singing, dancing and pet-photo animation. The service works through Reface’s Unboring platform and is available on web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, making it suitable for people who want face-focused animation across devices.
Pricing is paid-only, with annual billing shown for both plans. Basic costs $90.99 per year, equivalent to the listed starting price of $7.58 per month when billed annually. Premium costs $119.99 per year. Both plans include exclusive content, no ads, no watermarks, cancel anytime, unlimited photos to Animate and a priority processing queue. The published plan details show the same listed highlights for Basic and Premium, so the main buying question is whether the higher annual price fits the intended budget rather than whether a different feature set is required.
The standout feature is face-based animation using face reenactment technology. A clear, forward-facing image can be paired with curated animation styles or songs, then downloaded as a generated video. That focus makes Animate a practical choice for playful portraits, singing clips, dancing content and animated pet photos. It is less suitable for buyers who need a free tier, prefer monthly billing, or require a broader photo-editing workflow rather than short animated videos. Choose it for accessible facial and character-style animation across major platforms; consider an alternative if those payment or workflow requirements are essential.
