How to make a Tiny Desk AI video on iPhone or Android
How to make a Tiny Desk AI video on your phone: open the site in Safari or Chrome, pick photos from your camera roll, render and save the Outstanding video to Photos. No app to install.
Step 1: Open Tiny Desk AI in your phone’s browser
Use Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android. There is no app to install and nothing to download first.
Step 2: Add photos from your camera roll
Tap a band seat and pick a photo: one adult, chest-up, face clearly visible. You can also take a new photo with the camera. Fill one seat or all five.
Step 3: Check the free preview and render
See one free still preview of your band, then check the credit total (10 credits per video) and render. It usually takes 10–15 minutes; you can leave the page and find the video later in My videos.
Step 4: Save it to your phone and post
Tap Download MP4 to save the 9:16 MP4. On iPhone, open it from Downloads in the Files app and choose Save Video to add it to Photos. Or tap Send to friends to share it straight to a chat.
Do I need a Tiny Desk AI app?
No. Tiny Desk AI works in any modern mobile browser on iPhone, iPad and Android. Apps that promise the same meme usually need a subscription and only swap the lead singer.
Posting it on TikTok from your phone
Open TikTok, tap +, pick the video from your gallery and post. It is already 9:16 with sound, so no editing is needed. Label it as AI-made.
How to make a real Tiny Desk–style video on iPhone
If you want to film your own band Tiny Desk–style, without AI: set up behind a cluttered desk with shelves behind you, use warm lamp light, shoot vertical on a tripod at chest height and record the audio live in one take.
