Question 1

Is Tiny Desk Generator affiliated with NPR?

Accepted Answer

No, Tiny Desk Generator is an independent product and is not affiliated with NPR or the official Tiny Desk concert series. It merely takes inspiration from the popular desk-concert aesthetic.

Question 2

Do I need to create an account to try it?

Accepted Answer

No. You can preview a storyboard locally and purchase video generation without signing in. You may optionally link Google to your guest wallet.

Question 3

What happens if a photo is rejected or the video fails?

Accepted Answer

Confirmed failed generations return the credit. Uncertain jobs remain under review; cash refunds are subject to the site’s refund policy.

Question 4

Can I use multiple photos of the same person in different roles?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can choose the 'Use my face for every role' option, allowing the same portrait to be used for all five performers. This creates a one-person band effect.

Question 5

Does the video include the original Tiny Desk music?

Accepted Answer

No, the video is silent by default. If you want music, you can enable an optional AI-generated instrumental track, which is not the original song from the NPR series.
