Meet the five photos behind this band.
These AI-generated musicians are the reference photos used in the example. Your version starts with your own photos, assigned to the roles you choose.
AI can change details of a person’s appearance. In this example, the sax player’s hairstyle varies from the reference.
A solo cameo or the whole band.
In the 17-second version, choose the lead singer, keyboard player, either backing singer, or the sax player. Each selected role gets its own photo; the other performers stay in the source cast.
Use a clear, well-lit photo with one person in it. A front-facing half-body portrait gives the model both a face and an outfit to work with. Use photos you have permission to upload.

Before your band takes the stage.
What is the Tiny Desk AI meme?
It is a recast of a short Outstanding performance scene: a lead singer, two backing singers, a keyboard player and a sax player. MemeRecast uses your selected photos to create a new version of that five-person band scene.
Can I replace just one person?
Yes. In the 17-second version, select any one to five roles, including just the sax player or one backing singer. Upload one photo per selected role. Unselected performers keep their source appearance.
How long is the video?
The clip is approximately 17 seconds, with the band shot, lead close-up, sax close-up and final band shot. The actual example is 17.67 seconds. The opening single-person frames are removed.
Does it keep the original music?
Yes. The finished clip uses the original source soundtrack. The example comparison plays one shared soundtrack so you can compare both videos together.
What kind of photo works best?
A sharp, well-lit half-body photo of one person, facing the camera. Keep the face clear and avoid sunglasses, heavy filters and other people in the frame. Give each selected role its own photo.
Will the result look exactly like my photo?
AI results vary, including face, clothing, hair and performance details. Watch the real example before purchasing; it shows both the source and the finished 480p recast. The 720p option changes the output resolution.
Are my photos published?
Your uploads are private and are not added to this showcase by default. Photos in MemeRecast storage are scheduled for deletion after 48 hours and generated videos after 7 days from the generation request. Generation providers’ retention terms also apply. Download your video before it expires.
