ABOUT THE EFFECT

Your photo. The little stage. Your singing moment.

GenBay · Updated

Tiny Desk AI is a photo-to-singing-video effect. One photo of yourself or a consenting adult changes the lead facial identity and hair in a fixed desk-side performance, keeping the bookshelves, red keyboard, backing band, sax cutaway and matching song soundtrack.

People singing is the default: target 15 seconds, 480p, 400 credits. Switch to Pets for an original animal-band concert from a cat or dog photo: target 12 seconds, 720p, 200 credits. Use your existing GenBay account and credits.

People sing. Pets put on their own show.

People mode uses the fixed performance and its matching soundtrack. Wardrobe, body movement, stage, band and shot timing follow that performance, rather than your photo background or clothing. Pets mode generates an original animal scene and band audio. Both reuse our released Tiny Desk AI recipes and actual samples. GenBay is an independent AI creation tool, with no affiliation with or endorsement by NPR, Tiny Desk Concerts or any artist. Results are fictional AI performances; identity and lip details can vary.
