What is Grok Image Video?

Grok Image Video is xAI's first AI video generation model, part of the Grok AI ecosystem. It generates videos from text prompts or reference images at 480p or 720p resolution, with durations of 6 or 10 seconds. Its unique feature is 3 style modes: Fun, Normal, and Spicy.

Fun mode produces playful, creative, exaggerated visuals. Normal mode creates balanced, natural, realistic output. Spicy mode generates bold, dramatic, high-contrast aesthetics. You can switch between styles without changing your prompt to get different visual interpretations of the same scene.

Grok Image Video uses flat per-video pricing: 480p 6s = 5 credits, 480p 10s = 10 credits, 720p 6s = 10 credits, 720p 10s = 15 credits. This makes it one of the most affordable models on Kensa, great for bulk content production.

Yes. Grok Image Video supports both text-to-video (describe your scene) and image-to-video (upload a reference image). In image-to-video mode, the model animates your input image into a video clip.

Seedance 2.0 is more feature-rich (free audio, lip-sync, first+last frame, 15s, 7 aspect ratios) but costs more (7+ credits/s). Grok Image Video is simpler and cheaper (5-15 credits flat) with unique style modes. Choose Grok for budget production and creative variety; Seedance 2.0 for audio-visual content and precise control.
