Overview

Grok Imagine, built by xAI and reachable both inside the Grok app and directly on X, combines text-to-image generation, image editing, and image-to-video animation in one product, powered by xAI's Flux-based image stack for image generation and a dedicated Aurora-based video model for animating stills into clips.

Its more distinctive positioning is bundling: rather than a standalone subscription, Grok Imagine comes included with an X Premium subscription, so anyone already paying for X Premium for the social platform itself gets image and video generation access without an additional signup or separate bill, a different distribution model than every standalone generation tool covered elsewhere in this directory.

Free and paid tiers set different daily generation caps that refill on a rolling window, and X Premium subscriptions start around $8 a month. For an X user who wants image and video generation bundled into a subscription they may already have, rather than signing up for and paying a separate standalone generation tool, Grok Imagine's X-bundled distribution addresses that directly.
