THE FORMAT
Make a little room for a new AI music moment.
The visual reference suggests an intimate desk-concert setup. The generator creates a new scene from your upload and asks for original instrumental audio without lyrics or a recognizable melody. It does not promise a specific song, artist, exact performance, or matching sound.
YOUR TURN
Pick a performance and set the frame.
Use a clear, well-lit photo. For Duo, upload two separate adult photos. For a group performance, use one photo that already includes the people you want to appear.

Tiny Desk AI FAQ
What is a Tiny Desk AI video?
It is a new AI-generated desk-concert-style performance guided by a short visual reference. The output can vary in faces, instruments, movement, timing, and sound; it is not a copy of a specific live recording.
How many photos can I use?
Use one photo for a solo performer, pet, or group photo. Choose Duo to upload two separate adult photos for a two-person performance.
Can I choose portrait or landscape?
Yes. Choose portrait 9:16 for a vertical social video or landscape 16:9 for a wider frame. The output is 15 seconds at 720p.
Will the video use the original song or exact performance?
No. The reference guides the general scene and camera idea. The generator is asked for new instrumental audio without lyrics or a recognizable melody, and it does not promise an exact song, artist, movement, or performance.
How many credits does it cost?
The page shows a 214-credit estimate for the fixed 15-second, 720p setting before you submit. The server checks your balance and the same reference-video pricing before creating a task. Uploading or previewing does not create a generation task.
