Scene and photo guidance
Each selected performer is replaced by the person in their assigned photo, including their appearance, hairstyle, physique and clothing. The video supplies the performance and instruments. Leave a slot empty to keep that person unchanged across all shots.
Image 1: Lead singer. Navy visor and navy zip-up jacket with a star emblem; opens in side profile and returns in the long central close-up.
Image 2: Keyboard player. Green polo and black headset, seated at the red keyboard in the foreground of the band shots.
Image 3: Left backing singer. Blue shirt, white-and-blue cap and black headset; at the back on the viewer's left in the three-person band shots.
Image 4: Right backing singer. Maroon polo with yellow trim and black headset; at the back on the viewer's right in the three-person band shots.
Image 5: Saxophonist. Gray-haired performer in a dark suit jacket, pale blue shirt and black headphones, playing the gold saxophone near the later solo cut.

Add at least one photo. Empty slots keep their original person.
Your group chat becomes the band. One friend takes the lead, another sits at the keys, two handle the backing vocals and someone gets the saxophone moment. A prepared scene brings the performance together; the portraits make the cast yours.
This site uses the EasyVideoAI Tiny Desk template workflow. Match a portrait to each selected performer, leave other roles empty, then review the resolution and credit quote. The assigned reference supplies the replacement person’s appearance and clothing; the scene supplies the performance and instruments.
A Tiny Desk AI video places new identities into an intimate desk-concert scene. The appeal is the whole band: a lead vocal, keyboard, backing singers and a saxophone moment, with familiar people cast in the performance.
Can I make a Tiny Desk AI video with friends?+
Yes. Upload 1–5 photos to recast your Tiny Desk band, with one portrait for each role you want to replace. Leave a role empty to keep the original person.
Is the Tiny Desk AI video generator available yet?+
Upload at least one portrait, choose the output resolution and select Generate video. The studio checks your credits and asks for final confirmation before submitting. A guest browser wallet starts automatically when you continue.
Do I need to write a Tiny Desk AI prompt?+
The template workflow supplies the scene and character assignments, so you do not need to describe the concert from scratch. Choose the people and review the template before generating.
Will the video have sound?+
The workflow supports restoring the prepared scene’s audio after visual generation. The final preview will show the actual soundtrack and timing. A portrait supplies a visual identity; it does not clone someone’s voice.
Is Tiny Desk AI free?+
Previewing the scene and choosing portraits are free. Generation uses credits, with the exact quote displayed before confirmation. No registration is required; your guest wallet stays with this browser.
Which photos work best?+
Use sharp, well-lit portraits with one person in each photo. Keep the face large enough to see, the eyes unobstructed and the angle close to front-facing. Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses and very small faces.
Is this connected with NPR?+
Tiny Desk AI is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by NPR, Tiny Desk Concerts or the original performers.
