The stage is small. The performance is completely serious. The people behind the mic are the last people you expect to see there. The coach edit turns a real concert into a very convincing group-chat joke.

What this Tiny Desk AI video generator uses, and what it leaves out.
Tiny Desk AI is the meme that recasts a desk-concert performance. YouPhoto lets you assign one to five faces to the lead, saxophone, keyboard and two backing vocal roles in a coach-edit reference video.
Your generation edits the coach-version reference clip derived from the Tiny Desk performance and keeps its source audio. The examples are credited to their creators. YouPhoto is not affiliated with NPR.
One to five face photos, JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 5MB each and 10MB combined. Choose a role for each. You do not upload a video. Celebrity and public-figure photos are not allowed.
Each generation is a single roughly 18-second 720p video. It is not several clips joined together.
Each roughly 18-second 720p video costs 800 credits ($8.00), whether you replace one person or all five. The button shows the price before you submit.
