The Tiny Desk AI generator turns one adult portrait into a short concert performance using an original stage template. You get a 15-second, 720p vertical video with original stage audio. You do not need a source clip or a written prompt for this mode.

## Is this the right generator for your idea?

Use it when you want to place one consenting adult in the lead role of the stage you can preview on the homepage. The photo guides the performer’s appearance; the stage supplies the setting, performance and soundtrack. Listen first: uploading a new face does not change the singing voice or song.

The built-in stage does not offer voice cloning, a song selector or separate photo inputs for each band member. It uses an original synthetic performance, not NPR footage or the “Outstanding” recording. If you arrived through that trend, see the [Outstanding Tiny Desk AI generator and template guide](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/outstanding-tiny-desk-ai/) to compare workflows.

## How to use the photo-to-video generator

- Open the [generator](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/#create) and play the original stage and finished example with sound.
- Choose one clear adult portrait: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB. Use a face with visible eyes and even lighting.
- Continue with Google, upload the photo and confirm permission to use the files and likeness by agreeing to the terms.
- Check your credit balance. With a photo, consent and an available credit, select “Generate my video” while generation is available.
- Keep the page open during upload. After the request is saved, follow its status here or in [My videos](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/account/).

## What does one video cost?

The first solo credit costs $4.99 for accounts with no previous paid orders, once per account (refunded purchases count). The regular solo pack costs $9.99 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription or automatic renewal. One generation reserves one credit; a confirmed failure returns it. A completed result you dislike is different from a failed request. Review [all current packs](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/pricing/) before checkout.

Stage playback, guides and the separate [prompt builder](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/prompts/) are free. Copying a prompt does not render a video or add credits to your account.

## How long does it take, and what can I download?

15 seconds is the output length. Generation usually takes around 4–10 minutes and can take longer. Once complete, review the face, hands, microphone and mouth movements through the whole clip. Download the MP4 with stage audio, or use the silent MP4 option. Resolution is 720p vertical (720 × 1280); likeness and lip sync can vary.

## When should I use Advanced mode?

Advanced mode is for a permitted 4–5 second performance clip of your own plus a portrait. It requests a five-second edit, separate from the original 15-second stage. Supported source AAC audio is preserved; a silent source stays silent. See the [full workflow guide](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/how-to/) for this alternative.
