How do I face swap myself into the Tiny Desk AI video?

Upload one selfie and Memelry face-swaps you onto the lead singer of the Tiny Desk AI clip, keeping the original song. Add up to three friends' selfies for the rest of the band.

One clear photo per person, face visible. Only photo 1 is required; anyone without a photo stays as in the original clip. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each.

No account needed: pay $9.99 once and your video starts. Signed in with credits? It uses 10 credits instead.

How do I face swap into the Tiny Desk AI video, step by step?

  1. Upload your selfie. Slot 1 is the lead singer. Add up to 3 more friends if you like.
  2. Pay once. $9.99 for this video, no account step.
  3. Download. Usually ready in 5–10 minutes, with the song.

Do I need the original Tiny Desk video to do the face swap?

No, you don't need the video; the Tiny Desk clip and its "Outstanding" audio are already on Memelry, so you only add selfies.

That is the step most face swap guides start with (find the video, trim it, upload it). Here it is done once for everyone, so the swap starts from the same clip the trend uses.

What kind of selfie works best for the face swap?

A sharp, front-facing selfie of one person in even light works best; sunglasses, strong filters and faces turned sideways make the swap less recognizable.

Crop group photos so each upload shows one face. Photos of anyone under 18 aren't accepted.

What else do people ask about Tiny Desk?

+Does the face swap keep my expressions?

It keeps the singer's expressions and mouth movements from the clip, with your face on them, so you look like you're singing the song.

+Is my selfie kept?

Your photo is used to make your video. See the privacy policy for how long uploads are kept.
