How to Make an AI Rap Video from One Photo (3 Steps, 2026)

To make an AI rap video, tell the AI who raps and what about, let it write the lyrics (free) and make the full song (your first one each day is free), pick the 15 seconds you like, upload one clear photo and pay once ($9.90 per video). About 5 minutes later you get a 15-second, vertical 9:16 MP4 with sound in which the person in the photo raps your song to the camera, lip-synced. No app, no account and no editing.

What you need

• A name and an idea. Who is rapping, and what the song is about: inside jokes, hobbies, a birthday, why they are the GOAT.
• One photo of one person, or one pet (a dog or cat with a clear face), with the face clearly visible. JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC all work; the photo must be at least 300 pixels on each side.
• The right to use it. A photo of yourself, or of an adult who agreed. No celebrities, no real rappers, no minors.
• An email address for checkout. The link to your video is sent there.

Step 1: Get your lyrics and your song (free)

On the home page, fill in three things:

• Who's rapping? A name, like "Mia" or "Coach Dave".
• What's it about? Optional, but details make the song. "Always late, loves tacos, best goalie on the team" beats "my friend".
• Vibe: hype, funny, roast, love, birthday or Christmas.

Tap Write my lyrics. The AI writes a verse and a chorus with the name and details you gave. Edit anything: swap a line, fix a nickname, add a joke. Keep the [Verse] and [Chorus] tags on their own lines. If you already wrote your own bars, choose I have my own lyrics and paste them. More on this in tips for better AI rap lyrics.

Then pick a beat (trap, boom bap, drill, pop rap, latin trap or comedy) and a voice (male or female), and tap Make my song. It takes about a minute. Listen to the whole song before you pay for anything. Your first song each day is free, and each rap video you buy adds 2 more songs; songs that fail don't count, and songs you made today stay available, so you can come back to one.

Step 2: Pick the 15 seconds the video raps

A video follows 15 seconds of your song. The selector starts a little past the intro; slide it to the part you like and tap Play this part to check it. Good picks:

• The chorus, because it repeats the name and is the catchiest part.
• The first lines of the verse, if they introduce the person.
• A clear punchline for roasts and funny songs.

Step 3: Add a photo, pay and get your video

Upload one photo and confirm you have the right to use it. The best photos are a selfie or a head-and-shoulders shot, facing the camera, in good light, with no sunglasses or mask. See which photos work best.

Pay once on the secure checkout page. There is no subscription and no sign-up. Back on the page, your video starts by itself, and the link is also emailed to the address you used at checkout. You can close the page and open the video later from that email.

The person in your photo raps your 15 seconds to the camera in a recording booth with a studio microphone, lip-synced, and the song is the soundtrack. Download the MP4 and post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

Settings at a glance

If something goes wrong

• "You've used today's free song. Each video you buy adds 2 more songs, or come back tomorrow." You can also use a song you made today.
• "Some words aren't allowed here." Keep it friendly and leave out real celebrities' names.
• The face does not look like the person. Use a sharper, front-facing photo with even light.
• Very fast lines look a bit off. Pick a part with clear, punchy lines, such as the chorus.
• The video failed. Its credits come back automatically, so you can make it again.
