Complete guide to using grok-imagine
Animate static imagery into coherent, short-form video assets via the asynchronous grok-imagine/image-to-video endpoint, seamlessly accessible through the ApiPass platform. Built to handle complex temporal consistency, the Grok model preserves source depth maps and lighting physics while generating fluid camera motion—engineered for programmatic embedding inside creative platforms and automated asset pipelines.
The Grok Imagine Image-to-Video model (accessible via ApiPass API) animates reference images into high-quality video outputs while preserving the original look, composition, and visual fidelity of the source asset.
Provide image_urls to animate uploaded or externally hosted images. The API supports up to 7 reference images, each 10MB or smaller, in JPEG, PNG, or WEBP format. Use prompt references like @image1 or @image2 to guide how each image should influence the generated video.
Use task_id from a previous grok-imagine/text-to-image generation and select a specific image with index. Valid index values are 0 through 5, with a default of 0. This workflow is useful when you want to generate images first and then animate the best result.
Control video generation with prompt, mode, duration, resolution, and aspect_ratio. Choose fun, normal, or spicy mode; set duration from 6 to 30 seconds; and output at 480p or 720p. External image_urls mode does not support spicy mode, so use normal or fun for that workflow.
Transform a still image into a smooth short video while preserving the original composition and visual identity.
Choose fun for more playful results, normal for balanced motion, or spicy for more dynamic and intense generation. When you use external image_urls, spicy mode is not supported; use task_id mode when you need access to all mode values.
Generate short video clips from 6 to 30 seconds at 480p or 720p. Aspect ratio options include 2:3, 3:2, 1:1, 16:9, and 9:16, making the API suitable for landscape previews, square content, and vertical social clips.
Create short, shareable videos from product images, portraits, concept art, or campaign visuals. Use motion prompts to add camera movement, background dynamics, and rhythmic visual changes for engaging social-ready clips.
Embed image-to-video generation into creative tools or developer platforms to create dynamic banners, animated previews, background videos, and personalized motion content based on user-provided images or previously generated assets.
Turn still product photos, character designs, and creative concepts into short animated sequences. Add motion, perspective shifts, lighting transitions, and cinematic camera moves while preserving the original visual identity.
Quickly test motion ideas, storytelling beats, and visual directions before investing in full production. The API is ideal for design research, creative iteration, and generating animated samples from static imagery.
The API supports two mutually exclusive input workflows: external image URLs or a previous text-to-image task_id. Choose the workflow that matches your asset source and mode requirements.
Use image_urls when you already have external or uploaded images that you want to animate. This workflow supports up to 7 images, each 10MB or smaller, in JPEG, PNG, or WEBP format. Do not send task_id with image_urls, and do not use spicy mode with external images.
Use task_id when you want to animate an image generated by a previous grok-imagine/text-to-image task. index selects one of the six generated images, from 0 to 5, and defaults to 0. This workflow supports all mode values, including spicy.
New ApiPass users can use free credits to test image-to-video generation before moving into production. Try different prompts, modes, durations, resolutions, and aspect ratios to validate quality and integration behavior.
The createTask endpoint supports the optional channel parameter. auto lets ApiPass allocate tasks across available channels based on pricing and stability metrics, while starter, regular, and official provide different cost and reliability profiles.
Video generation is asynchronous. The createTask endpoint returns a taskId and queued status. For production workflows, provide callBackUrl to receive completion or failure notifications, and use /api/v1/jobs/recordInfo as a polling fallback.
Open the ApiPass Playground, select the grok-imagine/image-to-video model, provide your image_urls or a previous task_id, and enter a motion prompt.
Use exactly one input source. Choose image_urls for external images, or choose task_id with index for an image generated by a previous grok-imagine/text-to-image task. Never send image_urls and task_id together.
Send a POST request to the ApiPass endpoint /api/v1/jobs/createTask with the model parameter set explicitly to grok-imagine/image-to-video. Store the returned taskId for callback or polling.
All APIs require authentication via Bearer Token.
Authorization: Bearer
Create an asynchronous image-to-video task with grok-imagine/image-to-video. Provide either external reference image URLs or a previous Grok text-to-image task_id plus index, then describe the desired motion with an optional prompt.

channelOptionalstringDefault channel is auto. APIPASS automatically allocates tasks across available providers based on real-time pricing and stability metrics; starter is ultra-low-cost with limited quotas and weaker stability; regular is standard and much cheaper than official APIs with moderate stability; official uses the model native API with high stability, fast task execution, and official pricing.

image_urlsOptionalarray<string>External reference image URLs for video generation. Use this field when you want to animate uploaded or externally hosted images. Do not provide task_id at the same time.
Provide either image_urls or task_id. image_urls supports up to 7 images, each image must be 10MB or smaller, and supported formats are JPEG, PNG, and WEBP. You can reference images in the prompt with @image1, @image2, and so on. External image mode does not support spicy mode.

Valid values are integer seconds from 6 to 30, with a step of 1.
6
resolutionOptionalstringResolution of the generated video.
Default is 480p.
Available options:
