Elon Musk’s AI platform Grok has introduced an impressive new tool that transforms ordinary photos into short animated video clips — and social media is already buzzing. Musk himself showcased the feature on X, sharing a clip generated from a simple image using the playful prompt: “add a boyfriend and they transition into muppets.” He called the new capability nothing short of “magical.”

Now officially live, the image-to-video generator is available to all Grok users on X and through its standalone app on both iOS and Android. The feature is designed to be extremely user-friendly: just long-press any picture inside Grok, add a prompt, and watch the static image come to life.

This latest update expands Grok’s growing suite of creative tools, which already includes writing support, image generation, and real-time data access — positioning it as a strong competitor in the fast-evolving AI space.

How to Use Grok’s Image-to-Video Tool

  1. Open Grok and choose or upload the picture you want to animate.
  2. Press and hold the image to activate the animation engine.
  3. Enter your prompt to guide the animation — Grok will interpret your instructions and create a short, AI-generated video.
  4. Preview, save, or share the completed clip directly from the app.

Grok Access and Subscription Plans

Grok’s latest model, Grok 4, is now available for free worldwide, including in the UAE. However, free access comes with daily usage limits. For users who want more power and faster performance, Grok offers two paid tiers:

  • Free Tier – Basic access with limited prompts and slower responses.

  • SuperGrok Heavy (AED 1,599/month on iOS) – A premium plan for enterprise users needing maximum performance, expanded usage caps, and priority support.

With AI creativity becoming more accessible than ever, Grok’s new image-to-video tool is set to spark a wave of fun, quirky, and highly imaginative content online. Gold 101.3 FM will keep you updated as more features roll out.
