Put your band behind the Tiny Desk
AI Tiny Desk Video turns your photos into the viral Outstanding Tiny Desk AI video: the band, the lead singer's long note and big laugh, and the sax solo, with you and up to four friends playing. Add one to five photos or one group photo; any part left empty is played by someone from our example band. It runs in your browser, with the shots, cuts and timing already set up.
You get a 15-second vertical 9:16 MP4 in HD (720p) or Standard (480p), ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Free preview and full video
Each device can make one free preview with no card, subject to network limits and daily availability. Full videos are paid for with credits, which you buy once in packs starting at $6.99. There is no subscription, credits don't expire, and if a full video fails its credits return to your balance automatically. Current prices are in the pricing page.
How the video is generated
An AI video model makes every frame from your photos, following the moves, timing and camera of the viral original. The full video is generated separately from the preview, so details can differ. Faces, hands and clothes don't always come out right, so we can't promise a particular result.
Full videos come with the live sound, plus a silent MP4. To use TikTok's own sound, post the silent one, add "original sound - theburnerfromhe11" and start it at 0:01.
Your photos
Only upload photos of people who agreed to appear, and only upload a child's photo if you are their parent or guardian. Photos of celebrities and public figures aren't allowed.
Your browser finds each face and crops wide shots to the person before anything is uploaded. If a photo has several people, you pick who to use. We use your photos only to make your video, never to train AI models, and we delete photos and videos 30 days after they're uploaded or made, so download what you want to keep. The details are in the privacy policy.
Who runs AI Tiny Desk Video
AI Tiny Desk Video is run by MAKEANY TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED, a company in Hong Kong. It is an independent tool, and your video contains no footage from any TikTok video.
