Grok Imagine AI Video Generator — Free Online
Grok Imagine turns prompts and photos into fast, sound-on clips inside Grok — behind a paid plan. Make the same kind of clips right here with comparable engines, first videos free, no account.
Grok Imagine is developed by xAI and lives inside Grok (grok.com). SeedDance is an independent platform and is not affiliated with xAI — the generator below runs comparable engines, labeled as such.
Grok Imagine-style clips, made here
Fast, sound-on, slightly unhinged — the prompts Grok Imagine is known for, generated on SeedDance. Click to view the prompt.
The Grok Imagine energy, without the subscription
Sound-on by default
Grok Imagine's signature is audio in the same pass. Veo 3.1 — the default engine here — generates native audio too: prompt the sound like you prompt the shot.
Photos that talk back
Upload any photo and give it a line — lip-synced portraits, confessing pets, winking statues. The i2v playground Grok made viral.
No paywall to try
Grok Imagine now requires a paid plan. Here your first videos are free to try with no card required.
Comparable engines, honest labels
Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0 — pick per shot, compare with one prompt.
Make a Grok Imagine-style video in 3 steps
Start with a photo or a punchline
Grok Imagine clips are short and high-concept: one photo plus one line of dialogue, or one absurd scene.
Prompt the audio too
"Engine roar and seagulls audible" — describing the soundtrack is half the Grok Imagine feel.
Generate & download
About a minute. Clean MP4 with audio, no watermark.
What is Grok Imagine?
Grok Imagine is xAI's built-in visual generator — text-to-image, image editing and image-to-video in one feature, living inside Grok on grok.com, the Grok mobile apps and X. It runs on xAI's Aurora engine and is known for speed and sound: short clips arrive in tens of seconds with audio — dialogue, ambience, effects — generated in the same pass.
The current video model generation is Imagine Video 1.5, with a Fast variant that produces short 720p clips in well under a minute. The catch is access: image and video generation have moved off Grok's free tier, so regular use means a paid SuperGrok subscription.
SeedDance doesn't host xAI models — the generator on this page runs comparable engines (Veo, Seedance, Kling), clearly labeled, so you can make the same kind of fast, sound-on clips without a Grok subscription. When xAI access lands here, this page gets it.

Grok Imagine, answered
Is Grok Imagine free?
Not anymore — image and video generation have moved off Grok's free tier, so full Imagine access requires a paid SuperGrok plan. On SeedDance your first videos are free to try with no card required — generated on comparable engines, clearly labeled.
What is Grok Imagine?
Grok Imagine is xAI's visual generator inside Grok — text-to-image, image editing and image-to-video with native audio, powered by the Aurora engine. The current video model is Imagine Video 1.5.
Is this the official Grok Imagine site?
No — Grok Imagine lives at grok.com and in the Grok apps by xAI. SeedDance is an independent platform; this page explains Grok Imagine and offers comparable generation directly.
Does this page use the real Grok Imagine model?
Not currently — xAI models aren't hosted here. The generator runs Veo/Seedance/Kling, labeled as similar. We'd rather say that plainly than pretend.
Can Grok Imagine make videos with sound?
Yes — audio is its signature: dialogue, ambience and effects generated with the clip. You can get the same here by picking Veo 3.1 and describing the soundtrack in your prompt.
Grok Imagine vs Veo — which is better?
Both generate video with native audio. Grok Imagine is built for speed and casual, meme-fast creation inside Grok; Veo leans more cinematic. Since Veo runs here, test your prompt on it directly.
How do I access Grok Imagine officially?
Through grok.com/imagine, the Grok iOS/Android apps, or Grok inside X — with a paid xAI subscription for image and video features. Developers can use the Imagine API.
How long does generation take?
Grok Imagine's Fast model is famous for clips in tens of seconds. Here, expect around 40–90 seconds per 5-second clip depending on the engine and load.
