# Tiny Desk AI

> Tiny Desk AI is an independent web tool that replaces one to five performers in a fixed 19-second vertical "Outstanding Tiny Desk" band clip with photos the user uploads. The music, camera moves and four hard cuts are kept; only the people change. Output is 720×1280, 24fps, no watermark. Not affiliated with NPR, the Tiny Desk concert series, Charlie Wilson, The Gap Band, or any label.
