Seen the “Outstanding”

A FEW THINGS BEFORE YOUR DEBUT

AI Tiny Desk: your questions answered.

What is AI Tiny Desk?

AI Tiny Desk is an independent photo-to-video tool. Upload one adult portrait to become the lead singer in a roughly 19-second desk-concert scene. Choose Lead + sax, Full band, Halloween or Pet band to make the performance your own.

Can AI Tiny Desk work with one picture?

Yes. One clear adult portrait is enough for the lead. Add separate photos for optional roles in your selected mode. Pet band keeps a human lead and accepts pet photos for sax and the corner keyboard. Use JPG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB; children and group-photo casting are not supported.

How do I put myself in AI Tiny Desk?

Choose a mode, add your photo, check the preview and confirm permission. Your lead appears in the opening and singing close-up. Lead + sax uses one credit; Full band, Halloween and Pet band use two. Sign in to purchase and save videos.

Does AI Tiny Desk include singing?

Yes. AI Tiny Desk delivers performance audio and a silent MP4. The complete opening now includes performance audio taken directly from the supplied original video. Preview the complete result before choosing your download.

Does AI Tiny Desk include Outstanding?

Yes. AI Tiny Desk includes the supplied Outstanding performance audio throughout the performance, without granting a music license. You can instead add permitted music to the silent copy; availability depends on your account and intended use.

Is AI Tiny Desk free?

AI Tiny Desk guides, examples and account creation are free. Personalized creation uses paid credits: $9.99 for 1, $19.99 for 3 or $29.99 for 6. There is no subscription.

Can I use AI Tiny Desk credits on other websites?

AI Tiny Desk credits work across the four concert modes on this website. The other trend recommendations open separate websites with their own accounts, prices and balances.

What if my AI Tiny Desk generation fails?

A confirmed technical failure returns the charged AI Tiny Desk credit once. Keep the existing task while its status is uncertain. Report a serious completed defect within seven days for review.

How private are AI Tiny Desk photos?

AI Tiny Desk uploads and results require account access. Inputs are scheduled for deletion after seven days and results after thirty days. Save your downloads and contact support for earlier deletion.

Is AI Tiny Desk affiliated with NPR?

No. AI Tiny Desk is independent of NPR, Tiny Desk Concerts, Charlie Wilson and The Gap Band. Label shared results as AI-generated and never imply a real performance or endorsement.
