The trend

Your own Tiny Desk moment

A lead singer, the band, a close-up and a sax solo. The Tiny Desk meme turns a familiar performance into a playful AI band video, starring you and your friends.

Choose who takes the microphone and who joins the band. Five named photo positions make it easy to put everyone in their place.

FAQ

Tiny Desk AI questions

What is Tiny Desk AI?

An AI video project for turning your photos into a Tiny Desk-style band performance, with a lead singer and up to four optional bandmates.

How long is the video?

The full video is 18 seconds. The free preview is 2 seconds, in 480p with a watermark.

Is the preview free?

Free previews use a shared daily pool with a per-account limit. Places reset at midnight UTC.

How many people can I add?

Up to five: lead singer, keys, sax and two backup singers. Only the lead singer photo is required.

Which photos work best?

Use a sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo of one adult, with nothing covering their face. A shoulders-up portrait works best.

Can I use other people’s photos?

Only use your own photos or photos of adults who agreed to be in the video. Do not use the result to mislead, harass or imply an endorsement.

Do I need to write a prompt?

Choose the band roles and add your photos. The generator handles the performance setup.

Do my existing credits still work?

Your balance and purchase history are preserved. Credit packs keep their existing prices; the new generation cost will be shown before you submit.

Where are my previous videos?

Existing archived videos remain in My Videos until their retention period ends.
