TinyDesk AI Overview

Image & video →

Place your photos into concert-band seats and generate a 15-second vertical performance video.

What is TinyDesk AI?

TinyDesk AI turns photos into a short desk-concert style video. Upload a photo for the lead singer and optionally replace other performers. Seats without an uploaded photo retain the template performer, while the set and camera movement follow the selected template.

How to use TinyDesk AI

  1. Upload a clear adult portrait for the lead singer and any optional seats.
  2. Choose a template and either 480p or 720p output.
  3. Confirm photo permission, generate the video, and download it.
