What is Tiny Desk AI?

Tiny Desk AI is an independent photo-to-performance service. Upload authorized adult portraits to create a fictional desk-concert video with original audio.

Understand the Tiny Desk AI format
Which photo works best?

Use a separate recent portrait for each adult, facing the camera with even light and the head and shoulders visible. If you start with a group photo, crop one portrait per person before uploading. Avoid sunglasses, masks and strong filters.

Prepare a clear portrait
How do I get started?

Sign in with Google, choose a credit pack or subscription, then upload your portraits and review the cost before generating. If maintenance is announced, wait for service to resume.

Will the video sing or match a song?

Videos include original generated audio. Singing and mouth movements can have artifacts. We do not clone your voice or provide licensed concert recordings.

How many people can I add to the band?

Choose one lead singer and add up to four optional bandmates. Use one consenting adult per photo. Empty roles use fictional adult musicians, and adding bandmate portraits does not increase the credit cost.

Can I choose a song, write lyrics or edit the audio?

The studio generates original music and singing for the built-in performance. There are currently no song-upload, custom-lyrics or audio-editing controls. The voice is generated rather than cloned from a person in a photo.

What video file will I receive?

You receive a 9:16 vertical MP4 with sound. Choose 6, 12, 19 seconds and 480p, 720p or 1080p in Advanced settings. The default is 19 seconds at 480p; higher resolutions use more credits.

Can I see a result before paying?

Yes. Watch the authorized six-second, two-person example on this page with sound. It is one actual result, not a guarantee of identical quality for every photo. New generations require credits; signing up does not include free generation credits.

How long does a generation take?

The task may stay queued or processing while the model works. The selected video length is the length of the finished clip, not a promised processing time. You can leave the page and check My videos or the completion email; there is no fixed completion-time guarantee.

How do credits work?

At 480p each second costs one credit; 720p costs 3× and 1080p costs 6×. Credits from packs never expire; subscription credits are added every month and expire at the end of that month. Renders use the credits that expire soonest first, and credits are refunded automatically if a render fails.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Open My account → Billing and choose Cancel renewal. You won’t be charged again, and your plan and credits stay available until the end of the current period.

Can I use someone else’s photo?

Only with their permission, and never photos of minors, celebrities or public figures. Accounts that break this rule are closed.

What happens to my photos?

Uploads are private, used only to make your video and deleted automatically 7 days after upload. Finished videos are kept for 30 days after they finish. These retention periods apply to our storage; APIMart / Seedance retention and deletion confirmation are described in the privacy policy.
