Is Tiny Desk AI free?

There is no free plan, and new accounts receive no free credits. Generating a video uses credits: 100 for 720p or 200 for 1080p. Credit packs start at $8.45.

Do I need a subscription?

No. You buy a credit pack with a one-time payment, then spend the credits when you generate videos.

Is there a watermark?

Generated downloads have no added watermark. That is part of the paid generation output, rather than a separate free export tier.

What if a video fails — do I lose credits?

No. Credits for a failed generation are returned to your balance automatically. You can use the returned credits for another attempt.

Open the studio and check the options

What's free

You can create an account, browse the generated examples and select photos in the studio without paying for a generation. Those preparation steps do not create a video. A downloadable result requires enough credits for the quality you choose; there is no promotional credit grant on signup.

What costs credits

Quality	Credits per video	Included
720p	100	17 seconds, original audio, no added watermark
1080p	200	17 seconds, original audio, no added watermark

The chosen resolution determines the credit cost. Casting one person or all five costs the same at that resolution. The pricing page lists current pack sizes and prices.

Cheapest way to make one

Start with 720p if you want the lower credit cost. Before submitting, inspect every photo and check that each person is in the intended slot. A clear reference gives the model more detail to work with and can help you avoid an unnecessary second attempt. Read the photo requirements and the generator's output specs first.

Watch out for “free” Tiny Desk AI sites

When comparing a free offer, check what can actually be downloaded: the available resolution, any watermark, and whether the audio is included. Read the payment terms before starting and review the photo privacy policy. A free preview and a usable downloadable video may be different offers.
