The short answer
Choose a theme, upload one clear portrait per person, set the length and format, then optionally describe an audio topic. Check the quote before confirming. AIRAP creates a new scene and performance, and saves the task in My Videos so you can return to check progress and download the result.
Open the generatorHow to make an AI rap video in six steps
Choose the performance before the settings
Compare the available performances in the theme library. Check the number of people, photo requirements and duration shown for your selected theme before preparing the inputs.
AI video photo requirements: one person per photo
Use a front-facing, well-lit portrait with visible eyes and some room around the head and shoulders. Avoid group photos, strong beauty filters, masks and deep shadows. Supported files are JPEG, PNG and WebP, up to 2 MB each. Only use photos you have permission to use.
Describe one audio idea
Enable audio and enter an optional topic of up to 500 characters. Include the occasion, one specific detail, the mood and a preferred language if needed. Leave the field blank for the theme's default sound direction, or turn audio off. The field steers original sound; it does not upload or license a named song.
Set the format for where you will share
Choose the format for where you will share: a vertical phone clip, a landscape frame or a square post. The settings show supported aspect ratios and durations; some themes use a fixed length.
Review the model and credit quote
Seedance 2.0 Mini and Fast offer 480p and 720p. Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 also offer 1080p. Start with the settings you actually need: the exact credit quote updates with model, resolution and duration. Native audio is included. Review the final quote before you confirm generation.
Check the result before publishing
Follow the saved task in My Videos. Processing time varies with model, settings and queue. Check each face, hand movement, cut and spoken word before downloading the MP4. Confirmed failures and rejected output receive a full credit refund; check an uncertain task's status before creating another request.

| Theme | Photos | Length | Good starting idea |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hotel Lobby | 2 photos | 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 seconds | Friends, couples and two-person shout-outs |
| 679 / On The Radar | 2 photos | 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 seconds | Conversational duets and shared memories |
| Tiny Desk | 1 photo | 10, 12, 15 seconds | People, pets, illustrated characters and melodic greetings |
| Halloween | 1 photo | 10 seconds | Halloween greetings and solo party clips |
Audio topic examples you can adapt
These are creative briefs, not guaranteed lyrics. Replace the details with your own and keep the whole topic under 500 characters.
An upbeat rap in English about two friends who always turn up late to game night. Friendly teasing, a catchy short hook and a celebratory mood.
A relaxed back-and-forth in Spanish between two friends celebrating their first marathon. Mention early training mornings and crossing the finish line together.
A warm soul-style birthday dedication in Italian. A keyboard-led vocal about a friend who makes everyone feel at home, with a joyful refrain.
A playful Halloween freestyle in English about hosting a backyard party. Pumpkins, homemade costumes and the friend who ate all the candy. Funny, not frightening.
If the result misses your idea
Change the input that controls the problem. Adding more instructions to the audio topic will not fix a blurry face or change the selected aspect ratio.
- The face does not look enough like the person
- Try a sharper portrait with even light, visible eyes and fewer filters. Keep one person in each image and avoid a face partly hidden by a hand or accessory. Better input helps, but likeness is not guaranteed.
- The words or language are unexpected
- Put the main subject first, state the language and remove competing requests. The topic directs original audio rather than exact word-for-word lyrics. Listen to the full result before sharing.
- The frame cuts off something important
- Choose the ratio in Video settings before generating. Use a source portrait with room around the head and shoulders. Writing 'vertical' in the audio field does not change the video ratio.
- The job is slow, failed or uncertain
- Check its saved status in My Videos. A slow queue is different from a confirmed failure. Avoid submitting duplicates while the outcome is uncertain. Confirmed failure or rejected output receives a full credit refund.
AI rap video questions before you start
Can I make an AI rap video from one photo?
Yes. Tiny Desk and Halloween use one portrait. Hotel Lobby and On The Radar use two separate portraits, one for each performer.
Can I use the AI rap generator for free?
You can browse themes and prepare an idea without purchasing. Video generation uses credits and shows the cost before confirmation. Check Pricing for the current packs; do not assume a free render is included.
Can I use my own song or exact lyrics?
The public generator currently accepts an audio topic for original generated sound. It does not provide a song-upload workflow or promise an exact performance of supplied lyrics.
Does a theme include the original artist's song?
No. Theme names describe visual references and performance directions. They do not include the named recording or imply an artist's endorsement.
