Grok Imagine — xAI's model for animating photos and generating video

Our most popular video model: tens of thousands of generations a month. No monthly subscription — pay per use, video from ~$0.01 per second.

Grok Imagine is the generative model from xAI (Elon Musk's company) that creates both images and video. Its killer feature is photo animation: upload a picture, describe the motion, and a minute later you get a video where the person in the photo smiles, waves, or turns their head. That's exactly why Grok Imagine became the most popular video model on NeuralBox — over 13,000 video generations a month.

Its second strength is price and speed. Video starts at about $0.01 per second (several times cheaper than Veo or Kling) and renders faster than most competitors. For short social clips, memes, and animated photos it's the optimal choice. Duration runs from 6 to 30 seconds — enough for both Reels and Shorts.

Officially Grok Imagine is available only through the xAI API, which means developer setup and per-second billing. On NeuralBox everything works right in the browser: no monthly subscription — top up one balance and pay only for what you generate, by card (Stripe) or crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH). Tokens never expire, and the same balance unlocks 300+ other AI models.

Frequently asked questions

What is Grok Imagine?

It's the generative model from xAI (Elon Musk's company) for creating images and video. The most popular use case is animating photos: the model turns a static picture into a short video with natural motion.

How do I animate a photo with AI?

Upload your photo on the Video tab, pick Grok Imagine, describe the motion you want ("the person smiles and waves") and hit Generate. A minute later you get a video. It costs from about $0.08 for a 6-second clip.

How do I pay?

By card via Stripe or with crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH and more). No subscription — you top up a balance and tokens are spent only on generations.

How much does a video cost?

In 480p — about $0.013 per second (a 6-second clip ≈ $0.08); in 720p — about $0.025 per second (≈ $0.15 for 6 seconds). An image is about $0.03.

How long can a video be?

6 to 30 seconds in a single generation — longer than most video models (Veo and Kling give 5–10 seconds).

Do tokens expire?

No. There's no monthly subscription and no credit burn — tokens stay on your balance until you spend them, and one balance covers 300+ AI models.

How is Grok Imagine different from Veo and Kling?

Grok Imagine is noticeably cheaper and faster, makes clips up to 30 seconds, and excels at animating photos. Veo 3.1 delivers a more cinematic picture with audio, Kling is strongest in motion and effects — all three are on NeuralBox, so you can compare.

Is there an API?

Yes, Grok Imagine generation is available through the NeuralBox API — docs at neuralbox.io/api.
