Create stunning AI images and videos for free with Grok Imagine.

For the past seven years, I have tracked consumer tech through constant shifts in hardware, platforms, and the way people actually use devices. Covering everything from budget gear to flagship hardware, I focus on what readers need to know, not on buzzwords or launch cycle hype. My expertise spans gaming laptops and chairs, high-performance PCs, gaming monitors, printers, smartwatches, earphones, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, tablets, and more, with a particular emphasis on how these products hold up in daily use. Reviews, explainers, buying guides, and news pieces all share the same goal: giving readers enough detail to make confident decisions without wading through fluff. Away from deadlines, I spend a lot of time gaming and watching films and anime, which naturally filters back into the work. Performance, comfort, display quality, and sound are judged the way players and viewers experience them, not just by lab numbers, which keeps my coverage grounded in real scenarios rather than just benchmarks.

The best part is that it's super fast, and the video generation is also free to use, including the controversial “Spicy” mode. Here’s everything about Grok Imagine: its features, the limits of the free version, and how to use it.

Grok Imagine features

Grok Imagine is a multimodal AI model that generates images and videos from text. It can create content across multiple domains. Here are all the features:

• Text-to-image generation with a long feed of generated images
• Short video clips with audio that can be generated from the images
• Image-to-image editing for custom transformations
• Developer API access for developers
• A special “Spicy Mode” for adult-oriented content

How to use Grok Imagine

Download the Grok app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your smartphone.

1. Log in to the app and locate the "Imagine" tab at the top-right corner of the chat window.
2. Input a text prompt describing what you want to generate.
3. The tool will instantly generate an image from your description with a scrollable feed that generates variations of the images from your prompt.
4. To create a video, open the image you like and tap the “Make video” option. Here, you can select from video styles like Normal, Fun, Custom, or Spicy mode.
5. Your video will come with sound or music that you can download and share online.
6. The videos that you created will be available inside the favourites gallery on the Imagine tab.

Limitations of the Imagine free mode

The free version of Grok Imagine is limited to video generation. During my usage, I was able to generate about 20 videos, while image generation seems to have a bigger limit. The Spicy mode can only be used on images generated from the text prompt, not on uploaded images. Video generation is only available through the images and not with a text prompt.
