How AI Tiny Desk works

  1. Cast the band

    Tap a spot on stage and upload a clear, front-facing photo. Fill one role or all five.

  2. Render the performance

    Confirm you have permission to use the photos and press make. The page shows the status while your video is being processed.

  3. Download and share

    Save the 9:16 MP4 with audio, plus a silent copy in case a social app mutes the track.

Tiny Desk AI ideas that get shared

  • Fantasy league punishment

    Finished last this week? Put the losing manager on lead vocals and let the rest of the league play backup.

  • Your game-day watch party

    Your loudest fan friend on the mic, your roommate on sax, and the whole couch crew behind the desk.

  • Team & coworker send-offs

    Farewells, promotions, product launches or offsites: five band spots fit the whole team.

  • You, fronting the band

    Take the lead vocal role yourself and leave other roles with the sample cast.

  • Birthdays, weddings & group chats

    Put the birthday friend or wedding party on stage and drop the vertical MP4 straight into the chat.

AI Tiny Desk FAQ

What files and resolution do I download?

You receive two watermark-free 9:16 MP4 files at 720p (about 19 seconds long): one mixed with the “Outstanding” audio track and one silent backup copy.

Does casting all 5 band spots cost more than casting 1?

No. Every render is priced per video, not per person. Whether you swap only the lead vocalist or all five band spots, the credit cost is identical; any unedited seat keeps its AI sample musician.

What happens if a render fails or a face does not swap?

Our pipeline checks that swapped seats do not leave the original performer's face behind. Any job that fails automatically returns its credits to your account, and you can email support within 7 days if a completed clip has a technical defect.

Can I upload photos from my phone while using a computer?

Yes. Click “Photos on your phone? Scan to upload” in the stage tool to open a QR code, then pick portraits straight from your phone's camera roll without transferring files first.

What kind of portrait photo gives the cleanest swap?

Use a single-person, front-facing portrait with even lighting from the shoulders up. Avoid sunglasses, hands near the chin, heavy filters, side profiles, or tiny crops from group shots.

What are the video pack prices and do credits expire?

Packs are 1 video $9.99, 3 videos $19.99, 5 videos $29.99. Every pack is a one-time checkout with no recurring subscription, and unused credits never expire.

Why isn't there a free trial render?

Each clip runs a full-length 720p pass on a commercial AI video model. Rather than offering low-resolution watermarked previews, every paid video exports watermark-free and failed jobs automatically refund their credits.

Whose photos am I allowed to use?

Only upload portraits of adults (18+)—such as yourself, friends, league mates, coworkers or family—whose permission you have. Never upload minors, and do not use generated clips for impersonation, deception or commercial advertising.

How long are uploaded portraits kept?

Uploaded portraits are used only to fulfill your video request and are automatically deleted from our storage bucket within 2 days.

Is AI Tiny Desk affiliated with NPR or Tiny Desk Concerts?

No. AI Tiny Desk is an independent video tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by NPR, Tiny Desk Concerts, Charlie Wilson or The Gap Band. Tiny Desk is a registered trademark of NPR.

Who's taking the lead mic?

One face or five, $9.99 a video, song included
