Is Tiny Desk AI Free? Preview Options
Last updated:
First decide whether you want to watch an existing demo or preview your own photo. The TinyDesk.video public sample is free to watch. We currently offer no free renders or personalized photo preview.
Watch the full Nico demo for free
Existing public demo: about 11 seconds, 720×1280. Your video uses the same fixed soundtrack as the demo.
Option 1: watch an existing demo on TinyDesk.video
Your photo: no. You watch our existing Nico demo without buying a pack or generating a video.
Clip and sound: about 11 seconds at 720×1280, with the fixed demo soundtrack.
Viewing and file: the sample page links the input portrait, reference performance and complete MP4 for comparison. It is not a free personalized result.
Option 2: a photo preview per account, tinydeskai.tv
Your photo: yes. The official guide requires Google sign-in and lists one free preview per account.
Clip and sound: about four seconds at 480p, with sound. Watermark: yes. Download: the preview is watch-only.
Free scope: a limited preview. The complete video is paid; check preview and full-video conditions separately.
Option 3: a photo preview per device, AI Tiny Desk Video
Your photo: yes. The official guide lists one free preview per device; the terms add network limits and daily availability.
Clip and sound: about three seconds at 480p, silent. Watermark: yes. Download: free-preview downloading was not clearly stated in the reviewed pages; confirm it first.
Free scope: a short lead-singer close-up. The complete video is paid and generated separately, so its details can differ from the preview.
What should you choose with a zero budget?
Just exploring the effect? Watch a public demo and inspect its input portrait. To preview your face, check eligibility, usage limits and current quota at the two preview sites before uploading.
Need a complete downloadable MP4 of your own? The external offers above promise limited previews. Confirm downloading and full-video cost before continuing.
Personalized creation on TinyDesk.video is paid. If you decide to buy, check the one-time amount and video count on the packs page.
Check the output of free credits and editing templates
For signup credits, check the selected model, template and generation cost. An editing template mainly arranges existing media; turning a portrait into the performing lead is a different task. Choose by actual input and output rather than the free label alone.
Three checks before uploading or paying
1. What do you receive: a fixed demo, personal preview or complete video? Check sound, watermark and the actual downloadable file.
2. How is quota counted: by account, device or network? Check sign-in, payment-method and full-video purchase requirements.
3. Are the portrait and intended sharing appropriate? Confirm the person agrees, then review the service’s photo handling and video-use conditions.
