Photos for your AI Tiny Desk cast
One face per photo
Pick a separate portrait for each role. The generator does not automatically choose individual faces from a group photo. Crop a group image to one person before uploading, or choose a solo photo with more detail.
Keep the face visible
Use a well-lit image with the face in focus. Avoid hands, masks or heavy shadows covering the features. A clear front or slight three-quarter view gives a more useful reference than a distant full-body shot. Likeness can still vary.
Check the file and permission
Upload JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB per photo. Export an HEIC image to a supported format first. Use your own adult portrait or an adult's photo with permission. More examples are in the photo guide.

AI Tiny Desk questions, answered.
Where did this meme come from?What photos do I need for the Tiny Desk AI meme?
Start with one clear photo of your lead singer. You can also add a keyboard player, saxophone player and two backing singers. Leave an optional role empty to keep that performer.
Is AI Tiny Desk free?
You can explore the generator and prepare your cast without paying. Video generation uses paid credits. A 19-second video costs 20 credits; the smallest pack is $9.99 for one video. There is no subscription.
Do I have to write a prompt?
No. Choose your cast for the 19-second, 480p portrait preset, which uses a 9:16 setting. Expressions, movement and cut timing can vary from the reference. Review the credit cost before creating.
What happens if generation fails?
Credits are returned for a confirmed failed task. A task whose status is uncertain is checked before another attempt so you are not charged twice for the same accepted request.
Can I close the page while my video is generating?
After your task is accepted, processing continues in the background. Sign back in to check My videos and download the completed MP4.
Is this an NPR product?
No. AI Tiny Desk is an independent parody video tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by NPR, Charlie Wilson or The Gap Band.
