Best AI video apps for iPhone and Android in 2026

Do I need to download an app to make AI videos on my phone?

Not necessarily. AI video is generated on servers, not on your phone, so a website can do everything an app does: upload a photo from your camera roll, generate, then save the clip back to your phone. Native apps add things like notifications and offline browsing; web apps save storage, update instantly and work on any phone. Many people use a mix.

For transparency: Dromana is our product. It's a web app today, and native iPhone and Android apps are in development; we've been clear about that below.

There's one practical difference worth knowing. AI clips take a minute or two to render, and on a phone you'll often switch to another app while you wait. Native apps can send a notification when the clip is ready; with a web app you come back to the tab or the home-screen icon and the finished clip is waiting in your library. Either way, nothing is lost if you leave.

• Dromana (web app, add to home screen): one-photo trend looks and AI Video, built mobile-first with a vertical studio.
• Pika (mobile and web): playful effects and quick social clips.
• Higgsfield (mobile and web): a big library of viral presets and camera moves.
• Canva (mobile app): AI edits and video templates inside a familiar design editor.
• Remini (mobile app): photo restoration and enhancement before you animate.
• Viggle (mobile and web): dance and motion memes.
• Hedra (web): talking characters, easiest from a phone browser.

How do I add Dromana to my home screen?

1. Step 1

   Open dromana.app

   Use Safari on iPhone or your usual browser on Android.

2. Step 2

   Add to home screen

   On iPhone tap Share, then Add to Home Screen; on Android open the browser menu and choose Install app or Add to home screen.

3. Step 3

   Open it like an app

   It opens full screen, with shortcuts to Video, Looks and your Library when you long-press the icon.

Everything works from the phone: pick a look, add a photo from your camera roll, generate and save the clip to your photos. New accounts get 70 free credits, no card; a look video uses 70 and a still image 10.

What should I check in a phone AI video app?

• Vertical 9:16 output, so the clip fills a phone screen.
• Easy saving to your camera roll, without a watermark you can't remove on paid plans.
• Photo privacy: how long uploads are kept and whether they're used for training.
• Pricing that's clear before you generate.
• Whether failed jobs give your credits back.
