CloneFace is a 3D face generator that requires no special equipment. It uses just one photo to quickly create a 3D model of your face. CloneFace is simple and fun! Stay tuned—more features are coming soon. ===== Steps to building a 3D face ===== - On the first screen, you can choose a picture from the camera or your photo library. A default face will be used if no picture is selected. - The second screen is the FDP (Facial Definition Parameters) editing screen. Single-tap a facial feature to focus on it. You can move and resize the selected component using multitouch gestures. - Once the FDP is correctly placed on the face, a 3D model is generated on the third screen—the 3D Scene. Tap the Switch button to view face morphing in action. - Tap the Glasses button to add or remove 3D sunglasses. - Tap the Animation button to view and switch between facial expressions: happiness, anger, surprise, sadness, fear, and disgust. - Tap the Hair button to try virtual hairstyles on a 2D face view. - Tap the Speech button to make the face talk. - Tap the Eyes button to make the face wink. - Tap the Video button to export a movie of your animated face.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Viewing Platform at Free against CloneFace's $0.99. Viewing Platform also leads on rating (4.2 vs 1.5) and ratings volume (91 vs 2). CloneFace's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 22%). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Viewing Platform holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Viewing Platform has 91 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of CloneFace's written reviews are positive against 22% of Viewing Platform's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CloneFace ships an update every 6 months, Viewing Platform every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and June 6, 2026 respectively.
