What is Grok Imagine?
Grok Imagine is xAI’s family of image and video models. Video 1.5 turns a picture into a short clip with motion and sound, and Image 2.0 makes the picture.
On Imgveo, Video 1.5 starts from an image you upload and makes a clip of 5 to 15 seconds at 480p or 720p, for 5 credits per second at 480p. Every clip comes with sound, at no extra cost.
xAI made Video 1.5 generally available on its API in June 2026 and calls it its best image-to-video model so far.

How to use Grok Imagine in 3 steps
From a picture to a finished clip in about a minute of your time.
01
Upload a start frame
A JPG, PNG or WebP picture. The clip keeps its look and its shape, so pick the frame you want to open on.
02
Describe the motion
Say what moves, what moves around it and how the camera moves. Add what you want to hear, too.
03
Pick length and resolution
5, 8, 10, or 15 seconds at 480p or 720p. Press Create; failed clips are refunded.
How to pick a good start frame
On an image-to-video model the first frame decides most things: the look, the light, the framing and the shape of the clip. These habits help.
01
One clear subject
A single person, animal or object that the motion can belong to. Crowded frames leave the model guessing what should move.
02
Room in the direction of motion
If the dog should run to the right, leave space on the right. Subjects cropped at the edge have nowhere to go.
03
The frame sets the shape
The clip takes your image’s aspect ratio. Crop to 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 before you upload.
04
Start with the look you want
Light, colors and detail carry over from the picture, so a sharp, well-lit frame gives the model more to work with.
A motion prompt that works
The model can already see the picture. Spend your words on what changes.
- 01
What moves
The main action: “she turns toward the sea”, “the boat drifts to the right”.
- 02
What moves around it
Secondary motion that sells the scene: hair in the wind, rain, falling leaves.
- 03
How the camera moves
Slow push-in, pan left, orbit, or a locked-off shot.
- 04
What you hear
Every clip has sound, so name it: waves, rain on the street, a bark.
Copy-ready motion templates

Three common mistakes
01
Describing the picture again
“A golden retriever in a field at sunset” tells the model nothing new. Say what the dog does.
02
Asking for a different scene
A start frame of a beach won’t become a city street. Big changes fight the picture; small, natural motion works best.
03
Too much for a short clip
Five seconds fits one or two actions. For a longer story, choose 10 or 15 seconds.

How the price works
Seconds × the rate for your resolution: 5 credits per second at 480p, 6 at 720p, and at least 20 credits a clip.
Making the start frame
Image 2.0 costs 6 credits per image, so a fresh still plus a 5-second 480p clip is 31 credits.
Failed clips are refunded
If a clip fails, the credits go back to your balance automatically. You pay only for videos you get.
Grok Imagine vs other image-to-video models
