Image‑to‑video in Grok Imagine takes a single image (photo or AI render) and animates it into a short clip by adding motion, depth, and audio around what’s already in the frame.
What image‑to‑video is
You upload a still image, optionally add a short prompt describing how it should move, and Grok generates a 6–10 second video that keeps the original look while adding camera motion, parallax, and effects.
It’s designed to “bring photos to life” (portraits, product shots, art, thumbnails) without needing a full text‑to‑video scene setup or manual editing.
Key features
Photo animation: Adds camera moves (zoom, pan, orbit), depth, and subtle physics like hair, cloth, or environmental motion to a static picture.
Built‑in audio: Auto‑generates matching music and ambient sound effects, so your animated image is immediately social‑ready.
Preserved style and identity: Tries to maintain the subject’s appearance and the original image style while introducing motion, useful for portraits and branded artwork.
Fast generation: Typically produces short clips in seconds, with the ability to preview, regenerate, and download quickly.
Multi‑format output: Can render in square, portrait, or landscape aspect ratios for TikTok/Reels (9:16), YouTube (16:9), or feed posts.
Typical use cases
Portrait animation: Make subtle moving portraits or “living photos” from selfies, character renders, or old photos (e.g., eyes blinking, camera dolly‑in, hair and background moving).
Product and logo motion: Take a static product shot or logo and add slow rotations, parallax, lighting shifts, or environmental effects for ads and intros.
Thumbnail and key art upgrades: Turn static thumbnails or cover art into short motion intros or looping headers for video platforms and social posts.
Concept B‑roll: Animate key concept art frames (environments, vehicles, UI mockups) into light‑motion clips you can drop into edits as B‑roll.
High‑level workflow
Choose a clear, high‑resolution source image with a strong subject and clean lighting for best motion and depth extraction.
Upload it in Grok Imagine’s image‑to‑video mode, pick aspect ratio and duration, and optionally add motion instructions (e.g., “slow zoom‑in on the character, subtle wind in hair, soft camera sway”).
Generate, review the variants, then refine: tighten your motion description, limit unwanted elements (“no extra characters, no text”), or adjust style/mode until the motion feels natural.
