Nov 7, 2026

How to Make a Tiny Desk-Style AI Rap Video from Photos on iRap

What the Tiny Desk template is

The Tiny Desk template on iRap Video is a photo-driven rap-video preset. You upload still portraits into named seats. The template supplies the desk, the three shots, and the audio. You do not write lyrics, record a vocal, or upload a song.

The public player on the template page is a style example. It was not generated from your photos.

Inputs

SeatWhat you uploadIf you leave it empty
Center singerOne portrait for the middle of the opening trioThe built-in role stays
Rear leftOne portrait for the person standing behind, on the leftThe built-in role stays
Rear rightOne portrait for the person standing behind, on the rightThe built-in role stays
Close-up singerOne portrait for the second shotThe built-in role stays
SaxophonistOne portrait for the last shotThe built-in role stays

One photo is a complete order. Two, three, four, or all five are fine. You cannot add a sixth person. A group photo is a poor fit: each slot is one face.

Files are JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 5 MiB each. Hotel Lobby, Boombox Slide, and Bulin 47 allow 10 MiB. Tiny Desk does not.

The template track. It is not a recording of the person in the photo.

Steps

  1. Open the Tiny Desk template.
  2. Watch the style example, then add a portrait only in the seats you want to replace.
  3. Leave the other seats empty. Those seats keep the built-in roles.
  4. Confirm you have permission to use every photo you upload.
  5. Choose Generate, enter the email that should receive the file, and pay. Guest checkout is the US$9.90 pack of 10 credits. Sign-in is optional.
  6. Open the private link in that email when the 15-second file is ready. Signed-in results also appear under My videos.

Saving a draft keeps the template and photos in this browser. A draft does not generate a video and does not charge.

Price

Pricing lists two packs: US$9.90 for 10 credits and US$90.00 for 100 credits. Credits do not expire. This template uses 10 credits, the same cost as Hotel Lobby, Boombox Slide, and Bulin 47.
