What model powers this Grok AI video generator?

Videos are generated with Grok Imagine 1.5, xAI's video model, accessed through our platform with your existing credits.

Is the Grok AI video generator free? Do I need a subscription?

Video generation is not free — every clip costs credits: 2.4 credits per second at 480p and 4.5 at 720p, so a 5-second 480p clip is 12 credits. You do not need a subscription though: credits can be bought as a one-off pack and spent per clip, and the exact cost is shown on the Create button before you generate.

Is there a daily limit on how many videos I can make?

There is no daily cap and no hourly rate limit. The only constraint is your credit balance — as long as you have credits you can keep generating, without waiting for an allowance to reset. That differs from Grok's own plans, which hand out a quota per period.

How is the Grok AI video generator different from Veo or Sora?

All of them now generate native audio, so the difference is trade-offs. Veo 3.1 pushes higher resolution but caps clips at 8 seconds. Kling 3.0 goes up to 4K. Reach for Grok Imagine 1.5 when you want a full 15 seconds, sound included, at a lower cost per clip. That makes it well suited to testing ideas quickly.

How many credits does a video cost?

A 480p second costs 2.4 credits, a 720p second costs 4.5 and a 1080p second costs 8, so a 5-second 480p clip is 12 credits. Cost scales with resolution and duration, and the exact price is always shown on the Create button before you generate.

How long does a video take to generate?

Most clips finish in under a minute — a 6-second 720p video takes around 40 seconds. Longer clips and higher resolutions take a little more. You can refresh or step away while it renders; your video is saved to My Assets as soon as it is ready.

What resolutions and durations are supported?

Clips run from 1 to 15 seconds, at 480p, 720p or 1080p. You can upload up to 7 images per clip (1080p takes a single image), and picking an aspect ratio needs at least 2 of them. The smallest one-time credit pack unlocks 720p, and every larger pack unlocks 1080p too. On subscriptions, 720p needs Starter and 1080p needs Pro or Ultimate.

Can I turn my own images into video?

Yes — that's exactly what this tool does. Upload any photo or artwork, describe how it should move, and Grok animates it into a short clip.

Can I use the generated videos commercially?

Videos you generate are yours to use, including for commercial projects, subject to our terms of service.

How do I delete my photos and videos?

Everything you create on ImagesArt — images, videos and the photos you upload — is saved in My Assets. To delete something, open My Assets from the menu at the top of the page, click the "…" button on its card, choose Delete and confirm. Deleted items are removed from your account and can't be restored.

What You Can Make with the Grok AI Video Generator

Short-form social video

Turn a single hook or product shot into a vertical clip for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Generate at 480p to test which idea lands, then re-run the winner at higher quality.

Product motion for e-commerce

Give a flat catalog photo some life — a slow orbit, steam rising off a drink, fabric moving. Listings and ads convert better when the product moves.

Storyboards and pre-viz

Sketch out shots before you book a crew. A few seconds of rough footage communicates a camera move faster than any written shot list.

Bringing portraits and art to life

Animate an illustration, an AI-generated character, or an old photo. Consistency in 1.5 keeps the face recognizable through the whole clip.

What Makes Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Different

The Grok AI video generator is a pay-per-clip image-to-video tool that turns your photos into a clip of 1 to 15 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p, with native audio and lip sync generated in the same pass.

xAI's latest video model: Grok 1.5
480p, 720p or 1080p: Up to 1080p
Pay only for the length you pick: 1–15 sec
Sound generated with the video: Native audio

Sound Included

Audio That Matches the Action

Every clip comes out with its soundtrack already in place. Footsteps, impacts, and ambience are generated together with the visuals, and spoken lines stay in sync with lips. What you download is ready to post — not a silent draft waiting for an editor.

True-to-Image Motion

Your Picture, Moving Like It Should

Grok 1.5 understands what's physically in your image. Steam curls, liquids pour, fabric sways, and glass stays translucent while the scene moves. The original look of your photo is preserved, and you can direct the camera — pan, zoom, orbit — in plain words.

One Workspace

From First Idea to Final Clip

Video is the last step of a pipeline you already have here: generate an image, refine it with AI editing, then animate it — all with one account and one credit balance. No exporting between tools, no juggling subscriptions.

What's New in Grok Imagine 1.5

The version running in this Grok AI video generator, and what it improves over earlier releases.

Faster generation

1.5 renders noticeably quicker than earlier Grok Imagine versions, so you can try a prompt, see the result, and adjust without losing your train of thought.

Better motion physics

Liquids, smoke, cloth, and falling objects behave the way they should. Earlier versions drifted or warped once a scene got busy.

Dialogue with lip sync

Spoken lines are generated with the video and matched to mouth movement — not just background music and sound effects.

Stronger consistency

Faces, outfits, and props hold their look from the first frame to the last, which is what makes longer 10–15 second clips usable.

Grok AI Video Generator vs Veo 3.1, Sora 2 & Kling 3.0

Every top model now generates native audio, so the real question is speed, length, and cost — not who has sound.

Model	Max length	Resolution	Native audio	Best for
Grok Imagine 1.5	Up to 15s	480p – 1080p	Yes, with lip sync	Fast, sound-ready clips at low cost
Veo 3.1	Up to 8s	1080p – 4K	Yes, 48kHz	Short, high-polish cinematic shots
Sora 2	Up to 15s	1080p	Yes	Physics-heavy, realistic simulation
Kling 3.0	15s (extendable)	Up to 4K 60fps	Yes	Maximum resolution and long clips

If you need 4K hero footage, Kling or Veo will serve you better. Pick Grok when you want to test a lot of ideas quickly, get usable audio in the same pass, and keep the cost per clip low.
