Is there a free Tiny Desk AI generator?
Yes. Every device gets one free preview: about 3 seconds of your close-up holding the long note and turning to the camera, in Standard (480p), silent and watermarked. The full 15-second video with the band, the laugh, the sax solo and the sound uses credits, with no subscription.

What the free preview shows
First a picture of you grinning behind the desk. Say yes, and about 4 minutes later you get about 3 seconds of your close-up: the long note and the turn to the camera, up to the laugh. It's there to show whether your photo works. The full video is made again from the same photos, so details can differ.
Free preview and full video
- Free preview: about 3 seconds, the lead's close-up only, Standard (480p), watermark, no sound. One per device.
- Full video: 15 seconds, the band, the laugh and the sax solo, HD (720p) or Standard (480p), no watermark, with the live sound and a silent copy.
What the full video costs
You buy a credit pack once; there is no subscription and credits never expire. A video that fails to generate gives its credits back. The prices per pack and per video are on the pricing page.
