Hotel Lobby AI: questions and answers

Hotel Lobby AI turns two photos into a 10-second video of two performers trading rap verses in an orange studio booth with one hanging microphone. The look comes from a viral TikTok trend. The song in your video is original and generated for you. Read more in What the Hotel Lobby AI trend is.

Add one photo for the left performer and one for the right, optionally type a theme, and press Generate video. In a few minutes you can play and download the result. There's a Step-by-step guide with photo tips.

The first two videos are. A new Google account gets two free videos at full quality. Free videos are limited each day across the whole site. After that, you can subscribe to a monthly plan. See Plans and pricing.

You don't need one. It runs in the browser on your phone or computer. On desktop Chrome there is also an extension that lets you pick photos by right-clicking and notifies you when a video is done.

One clear, front-facing photo per performer, with good light and nothing covering the face. Upper-body or full-body shots keep the outfit. Avoid group photos, heavy filters and tiny images. Files can be JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB, at least 240 pixels on the short side.

Yes. A performer can be a person or a pet, and a pet with its owner works too. Use a photo where the animal faces the camera and fills most of the frame. Results vary more than with people: markings and proportions can come out a little different.

No. You need the right to use every photo, and anyone shown has to be okay with appearing. In practice the model also rejects many photos of public figures and published professional photos. If that happens, the video fails and you aren't charged.

Only if you have the right to use it. If you do, the Chrome extension lets you right-click the image and cast it as the left or right performer. Some sites block outside access to their images. When that happens, save the photo and upload it instead.

An original one. The beat, the lyrics and the voices are generated by AI for each video, in English. The video does not contain the original “Hotel Lobby” recording or the original performance.

Platforms mute posts when they detect a copyrighted recording. Your video doesn't contain one, because the song is generated from scratch. We can't promise how any platform will treat a post. Here's Why we use an original song.

You can steer them. Type a theme of up to 80 characters, like a name, a birthday or an inside joke, and the lyrics are written around it. You can't enter full lyrics yet.

Usually 3 to 5 minutes, and up to 8 when the model is busy. You can close the page and come back. With the Chrome extension you get a notification when it's ready.

The most common reason is a photo the model won't accept: a public figure, a published professional photo, or an image that is too small or unclear. Failed videos are never charged. For 24 hours you can retry with the same photos in one click.

They are used only to make your video. We delete them from our storage as soon as the video is made. If a video fails, we keep them for 24 hours so you can retry. Photos and videos are never shown to other users.

90 days. Download the MP4 if you want to keep it longer.
