About Our Tiny Desk AI Generator

Try Tiny Desk AI is an independent photo-to-video tool for Tiny Desk-style band performances. Choose a built-in reference template, assign your photos to supported performers, and create an AI video without writing your own editing prompt.

Your photos, assigned to the band

Soul Session supports one to 4 replacement photos and produces a 10-second performance. Coaches Session supports one to 5 replacement photos and a 15-second performance. Choose 9:16 or 16:9 framing and download an MP4. Faces and motion can vary.

The final video retains the selected template's original audio track. It does not include an alternate soundtrack option or a separate music license. Review the reference templates and photo-to-video guide before generating.

Pricing and realistic expectations

There is no free generation tier. A 10-second video costs 100 credits; a 15-second video costs 150 credits. One-time packs: $4.99 for 100 credits (up to 1 ten-second video); $9.99 for 300 credits (up to 3 ten-second videos); $19.99 for 800 credits (up to 8 ten-second videos). Starter includes one 10-second video. Prices are before checkout tax.

The pricing page lists current packs. There is no subscription or free generation tier. Technical task failures restore charged credits. A completed result can vary in likeness, movement and timing; another version is a separate paid attempt. Read the refund policy for payment refund requests.

An independent project

We are not affiliated with NPR, the Tiny Desk series, any artist or the creator of a reference clip. References to the Tiny Desk AI format do not imply endorsement or grant rights to third-party photos, footage or music. Use photos of consenting adults and label AI-created performances when sharing.

What to expect

Reference videos, concept artwork and actual generated results are different kinds of material. We label references and illustrations, and do not present them as verified input-to-output results. We do not guarantee an identical result, exact lip sync or a fixed completion time.

The uploaded photo preview is not a free personalized AI-generated video. Review your photo and the credit requirement before you confirm a paid generation.

Privacy and support

During setup, photo previews stay in your browser. Confirming generation submits the selected photos to Replicate and saves the photos and task settings in private storage. They are not automatically published as a public gallery. Our Privacy Policy explains retention, support access and deletion requests. Use Contact Support for account, generation, billing, privacy or rights questions.

Learn the workflow

Start with the photo and cast guide, then open the generator. The site also retains separate guides for other video workflows; their specifications and credit packs do not describe Tiny Desk.
