Details
Grok Imagine was released on July 28, 2025, initially generating six-second video clips with audio from text prompts. A February 2026 update (v1.0) extended clips to 10 seconds at 720p resolution with improved audio. The tool also supports image-to-video generation: on X's mobile app, users can long-press any photo in their feed and tap 'Make video with Grok' to animate it. The tool offers multiple generation modes, including Normal, Fun, Custom, and Spicy. The post-composer integration for video creation was live on iOS by late 2025, with broader platform rollout continuing.
