Terms of service

Last updated October 27, 2026

By using Tiny Desk Outstanding you agree to these terms. They're short because the service is simple: you add photos, we make a parody video.

What the service is

Tiny Desk Outstanding is an independent fan tool for making AI parody videos of the viral "Outstanding" Tiny Desk clip, for personal, non-commercial sharing. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by NPR, Tiny Desk Concerts, Charlie Wilson or The Gap Band. Tiny Desk is a trademark of NPR. The concert footage and the song stay with their rights holders, and making a parody doesn't move any of those rights to you, so don't sell your video or use it in ads. When a rights holder asks us to take something down, we do; see our DMCA page.

Your photos

• Public figures such as coaches, players and celebrities are fine for parody.
• No one under 18, and no photos of private people who wouldn't want to be in it.
• You keep any rights you have in your photos. You let us use them only to make your video.

How you can use the videos

• Personal, non-commercial parody: post it, send it to the group chat, play it at the party.
• Don't present it as real, use it to harass or embarrass someone, or put it in ads or endorsements.
• Platforms may mute or remove videos that use the song. That's between you and the platform.

Credits and payment

Videos are paid with credits from one-time packs. Credits don't expire and can't be exchanged for cash except as described in the refund policy. Prices are shown before you pay.

AI results

AI results and likeness vary with the photo. The model may refuse some photos; a refused video returns its credits.

When we can say no

We may refuse a video, remove content, or close an account that breaks these terms, and we remove content when a valid takedown notice arrives (see DMCA).

No warranty

The service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months.

Changes

If we change these terms, we update the date at the top. Using the service after that means you accept them.
