About

What this is

AI Rap Video is a small studio that turns photos into short, fixed-format AI videos. We keep the product catalogue deliberately small: each item has one page, one input format and one output format, and the page states the price before you pay. Today we sell:

• AI Rap Video — one photo into a 10-second, single-shot 9:16 video. $3.99 once.
• Outstanding Tiny Desk Video — up to 5 photos into a 17-second, 4-shot 9:16 video. Not on sale yet.

The alternative — a general video generator with prompts, model pickers and credit math — is a worse deal for the one thing most people actually want: a short video with a face they recognise in a format that already works.

What it is not

It is not a general purpose AI video generator. Each product has one fixed format, one input shape and one edit; the product page says what it does and does not do. If you need a different length, a different number of shots, your own song or a specific camera move, check that page before you pay.

It is not a filter. The rap video does not animate your photo in place: a new scene is built and your face performs inside it. The Tiny Desk video is a different kind of redraw: the performers in a reference performance are replaced with the people you upload or with preset AI actors. Neither output is the original picture with movement added.

It is not assembled from an existing music video — for the rap product. Its scene, performance and audio are generated from scratch, which is why there is no licensed master recording underneath for a platform to mute. The Tiny Desk product is deliberately different: it redraws a reference performance and keeps the original record, and its page says so. It is an unofficial parody and is not affiliated with NPR or the Tiny Desk series.

How a video gets made

The input and output differ by product; the table in the terms of service is the full schedule. In short:

AI Rap Video

You upload one photo. You get a 10-second, 1-shot 9:16 video. Lyrics, vocals and beat are generated for the clip.

Outstanding Tiny Desk Video

You upload one to 5 photos. You get a 17-second, 4-shot 9:16 video. The original record plays underneath the redrawn visuals.

The models that make it

Each product uses the models listed for it below. We do not offer a choice of model; if we change one, this page and the schedule in the terms of service change with it.

• AI Rap Video
  • Google Nano Banana 2.1 nano-banana-2-1 — turns your photo into the scene keyframe
  • ai-music-api lyrics model ai-music-api/generate-lyrics — writes the lyrics from your topic
  • Suno V6 ai-music-api/generate — turns the lyrics into vocals and a beat
  • MiniMax H3 minimax-h3/reference-to-video — animates the keyframe to that song
• Outstanding Tiny Desk Video
  • Google Nano Banana 2.1 nano-banana-2-1 — casts each uploaded photo as a band member
  • Kling 4.0 kling-4.0/reference-to-video — redraws the four shots around that cast

What happens to your photos

• The photos you upload are deleted within 7 days after payment; if checkout is not completed, within 24 hours.
• The finished video arrives as a private link that works for 14 days; after that the files are deleted.
• Every person in every photo must be 18 or older and must have agreed to appear. We cannot verify that for you, so the responsibility sits with whoever uploads.
• Public figures, celebrities and politicians are not allowed. We may review an order manually, and if a photo breaks this rule we cancel and refund it.
• No account is required to buy. Your email address is the delivery channel and the receipt.
• The detail behind these points is in the privacy policy .

Price, refunds and the missing free tier

• Prices are shown on each product page and again at checkout. The rap video is on sale now; the Tiny Desk video is a preview until its checkout opens. There is no subscription, no credit pack and nothing recurring.
• If the render fails, the payment is refunded automatically — no request, no ticket. The refund usually arrives within 5–10 business days.
• If the video is delivered but unusable, email the order number and we redo it or refund it.
• A finished video that simply did not turn out the way you imagined is not automatically refundable. It is a generated clip, not a commissioned shoot, and we would rather write that here than argue about it later.
• There is no free tier and no free preview: rendering is the cost, so a preview would be a second render. What you are paying for is one finished clip, and the refund rule above covers the case where we fail to deliver it.

The full conditions are in the terms of service .

Who runs it

AI Rap Video is an independent project. We build and run it ourselves: the site, the render pipeline, the refunds and the support inbox are the same small group of people. There is no agency, no reseller and no ad network in the middle, and nothing on this page is sponsored.

How to reach us

Write to [email protected] — it reaches a person, usually within a few minutes. If you already have a video, the same link is on your delivery page.

A note on the output

The visuals in every product are AI-generated. The rap video’s song is generated too; the Tiny Desk video uses the original record, which remains with its owners. Your face, your motion and your audio will differ from any example shown here. Results also vary with the photos: a sharp, front-facing, evenly lit portrait holds up far better than a dark group shot. We would rather say that before you pay than explain it afterwards.
