How to Make an AI Rap Video from a Photo
To make an AI rap video, upload one clear photo and select a stage. Optionally add a topic, then sign in to generate a 12-second vertical performance with audio. Review and download the MP4.
1. Choose one clear photo
Use one JPG, PNG, or WebP image no larger than 3 MB. Upload a portrait of one consenting adult, or one existing photo of two consenting adults.
Choose visible faces, even lighting, and little obstruction around the mouth. Prefer a front-facing image. Avoid a face hidden by a hand, a distant crowd shot, or heavy blur. These tips do not guarantee facial consistency.
Two separate portraits cannot be combined. Use a photo that already shows both people, or choose a workflow with support for separate character references.
2. Add a topic, or leave it blank
The topic is optional and accepts 0–240 characters. Leave it blank for an upbeat rap about confidence and having a good time, or give the rap a subject and mood. A 12-second clip works best with a simple idea.
- A playful birthday rap for Maya, celebrating her baking skills and terrible dance moves. Warm, upbeat, and friendly.
- Two friends celebrating the end of exam week. A cheerful rap about late-night snacks, study notes, and finally sleeping in.
- An upbeat rap about finishing my first 5K, starting slowly, and celebrating every small improvement.
- A lighthearted rap about our team finishing a difficult project. Thank everyone and keep the tone friendly.
Use these topics as starting points for your own rap. A topic guides generation; it does not lock the exact lyrics.
3. Pick a stage
Choose Orange Booth, City Rooftop or Blue Studio. Open Quality & length to select Standard, Fast, Pro or Ultra, then choose resolution, length and format. Standard and Fast support up to 15 seconds at 720p; Pro adds 1080p, and Ultra adds 20 and 30 seconds.
4. Generate, review, and download
Sign in and check the credit quote before submitting. The default is Standard, 720p, 12 seconds, 9:16 with generated audio, for 10 credits. Changing model, resolution or length updates the cost. Save your idea and settings in this browser to continue later; drafts do not include your photo.
A successful task provides a provider-hosted MP4 link. Download promptly; permanent hosting is not promised. Watch and listen before sharing: check faces, mouth movements, gestures, and what the vocals actually say.
Which workflow fits the video I want?
| Your goal | What to look for | Supported here |
|---|---|---|
| A short performance from a photo and a topic | Image input and generated audio | Supported |
| Two performers from separate portraits | Multiple character references or image composition | Not supported |
| A music video for an existing rap track | Audio import, scene planning, and timeline editing | Not supported |
| Exact delivery of written lyrics | Script or audio input with explicit speech control | Not supported |
| The choreography of a reference performance | Reference-video or motion-transfer controls | Not supported |
If you already have a finished song, start with an audio-driven workflow that accepts that song. A topic-based short clip does not preserve an uploaded track or create a full-song edit.
Common questions
How long does it take to generate a rap video?
Generation time varies with queue length and processing demand. Follow the status in your studio. A delayed status check does not by itself mean a task has failed.
Can I make a full-length rap music video here?
This generator creates short performances of 5–15 seconds, or up to 30 seconds with Ultra. It does not assemble a full-length music video or synchronize a whole song.
Can I add subtitles or edit the video here?
There is no built-in subtitle or timeline editor. Use a separate editor for captions, cuts, or additional audio after downloading a finished video.
Can I use the result commercially?
Do not assume commercial clearance. Before using a result in an ad or paid project, check the applicable service and model terms and your permissions for the photo, people, and any added audio. This page does not grant music, likeness, or other third-party rights.
Will my saved idea include the photo?
No. The saved idea contains the topic and stage in this browser. A separate sign-in continuation can temporarily retain the selected photo in the same tab for up to 10 minutes.
