About Tiny Desk AI
What Tiny Desk AI is, what it makes from one photo, and whose photo you may use.

What this is
Tiny Desk AI is a small tool that does one thing: from one photo, you sing lead in an Outstanding Tiny Desk video. You upload one photo and get one vertical (9:16) MP4 back.
What it is not
The site is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by NPR, Tiny Desk, Charlie Wilson or The Gap Band. Every video is AI-generated.
It is also not a general video generator. There is no prompt box, and it only makes this one video.
Whose photo you may use
A photo of yourself, or of an adult who gave you permission to use it. Before a video is made you confirm with a checkbox that the photo shows you, or an adult who agreed to it. Photos of celebrities, public figures and minors are not allowed.
