Video APIHOTGrok Video API gives teams an API-first way to use Grok Imagine video generation inside production workflows. It supports prompt-driven text-to-video, reference-based image-to-video, video upscaling, and video extension from one model family.
Use the playground to validate prompts, source images, task IDs, duration, aspect ratio, and payload behavior before connecting Grok video generation to your app, creative tool, or content pipeline.
Lowest cost starts at $0.01/s
480p: 2 credits/s - Text to Video - Output seconds × 2
720p: 3 credits/s - Text to Video - Output seconds × 3
480p: 10 credits/s - Text to Video - Output seconds × 10
720p: 14 credits/s - Text to Video - Output seconds × 14
USD estimates use $0.005/credit with the best annual plan. Final billing follows the selected Grok video variant and output settings.
Core request fields

The page follows the same API-first structure as the reference: test the model, understand the fields, then move into integration.
Text-to-video generation
Turn detailed prompts into short-form video concepts for social posts, ads, product moments, and fast creative exploration.
Image-to-video motion
Animate source images while preserving the subject, composition, and visual direction that your team already approved.
Upscale and extend
Improve successful Grok clips with video upscaling, or continue an existing generation with an extension task.
API-ready payloads
Work with model IDs, prompts, image URLs, task IDs, aspect ratios, callbacks, and task polling in one integration path.
From Grok video test to production request
A compact path for teams that want to validate output quality before wiring Grok video generation into an app.
1. Choose a mode
Select text-to-video for prompt-only creation, image-to-video for source image animation, or a follow-up mode for upscale and extend.
2. Submit generation
Call the API with your account key, model ID, prompt, optional image URLs or source task ID, and callback URL.
3. Poll and reuse
Track the task until it succeeds, then reuse the output URL in your product, campaign workflow, or follow-up video task.
What you can create with Grok Video API
Use the API when your product needs repeatable Grok video output, not just one-off manual generations.
Successful Grok video generations from the community
Browse public Grok video outputs that finished successfully, then open any case to inspect the prompt, settings, and result.

Use the uploaded image as the only reference. Create an 8-second vertical (9:16) ultra-realistic cinematic fashion video. The woman must remain exactly the same person as in the reference image. Preserve her facial features, skin tone, hairstyle, body proportions, natural expression, and overall appearance consistently throughout the entire video. The dress must remain exactly the same dress shown in the reference image. Do not redesign, restyle, or modify it in any way. Preserve the exact yellow color, the same cotton fabric texture, embroidery, covered buttons, stitching, round neckline, sleeves, waist seam, silhouette, length, wrinkles, folds, and every visible detail exactly as in the original image. The back of the dress is extremely important. Keep it exactly the same as the reference image. It has a simple, clean back with only the waist seam. There must be NO belt, NO sash, NO ribbon, NO bow, NO back tie, NO pleats, NO gathers, NO decorative elements, NO extra seams, and NO redesign of the back. The woman begins sitting naturally on the sofa in the seaside lounge. She smiles gently, stands up naturally, then slowly walks through the elegant Mediterranean seaside corridor beside the ocean. The corridor has white walls, blue wooden railings, Mediterranean flowers, green vines, and beautiful coastal plants. The sea remains visible beside her during the walk. Her walking is slow, elegant, and completely natural. She has realistic posture, subtle arm movement, natural breathing, and soft hair movement from the sea breeze. The dress moves only with realistic fabric physics while keeping its exact original shape and design. The camera starts with a medium shot, then smoothly follows behind her with a stabilized cinematic tracking shot, clearly showing the original back of the dress while she walks. At the end of the corridor, she gently stops, turns her head toward the sea, and smiles softly while looking at the horizon. Bright Mediterranean afternoon sunlight, realistic shadows, natural ocean reflections, crystal-blue water, gentle waves, subtle movement of flowers and leaves in the breeze. Professional luxury fashion commercial, photorealistic, 4K HDR, full-frame cinema camera, natural skin texture, sharp details, stable camera movement, no AI look. Negative Prompt: No dress redesign, no color change, no fabric change, no belt, no sash, no ribbon, no bow, no pleats, no gathers, no extra seams, no accessories, no body reshaping, no face changes, no identity drift, no clothing deformation, no flickering, no warped hands, no distorted anatomy, no AI artifacts.

Start with text or image generation, then move promising outputs into upscale or extension workflows when needed.
Grok Video API questions
What is Grok Video API best for?
It is best for repeatable short-form video generation, including prompt-led clips, animated source images, video variants, upscaled outputs, and extended creative sequences.
Which Grok video modes are available?
The current page exposes Grok Imagine Text to Video, Grok Imagine Image to Video, Grok Imagine Video Upscale, and Grok Imagine Video Extend.
What is the difference between Text to Video and Image to Video?
Text to Video starts from a prompt only. Image to Video uses one or more source images plus a prompt, which is better when you need subject or composition continuity.
When should I use upscale or extend?
Use upscale when you already have a successful Grok video and want a higher-quality version. Use extend when you want to continue a completed generation into a longer sequence.
Where can I test it before integrating?
Use the playground on this page to test prompts, image URLs, source task IDs, aspect ratios, callbacks, and API payload behavior before moving into production.
Does the API support callbacks?
Yes. The request schema includes callback settings where supported, so your service can receive task completion notifications.
Can I use Grok Video API for commercial workflows?
This page is configured for production video workflows. For commercial use, review your account plan, credit balance, model availability, and applicable content policy requirements.
Can I animate an existing product image?
Yes. Use the image-to-video mode with a source image URL and a prompt that describes the motion, camera behavior, and final visual direction.
How should I manage cost?
Start with quick prompt or image-to-video tests, then reserve upscale and extension tasks for clips that are already close to your target.
Can I inspect the actual API fields?
Yes. Select a Grok video mode on this page and the request JSON, field list, and pricing panel will update to match that model.
Turn Grok video into your production workflow
Open the generator, test a Grok video prompt or source image, then use the API docs when you are ready to wire it into production.
