Getting Started with Grok

Open Grok.com, or use the X app or the Grok mobile app. Sign in and you will see a familiar chat box. The latest features are listed on xAI's Grok page.

• Write image prompts in Thai or English
• English often gives slightly more precise detail
• The Imagine menu is dedicated to images and video

Writing Image Prompts That Work

Clear instructions make beautiful images. Uncle Tee uses a five-part formula: main subject, action, background, lighting and style. For example: "An orange cat wearing glasses reading a book in a wooden café, warm evening light, film photo style."

• Specify the camera angle: high angle, close-up or wide shot
• Specify the mood: bright, warm or mysterious
• Specify the ratio, such as vertical 9:16 for Reels and TikTok
• For specific looks, see Image Prompt Styles

Turning Images into Video with Grok Imagine

Once you have an image you like, Grok can animate it into a short clip.
1. Pick a generated image or upload your own
2. Describe the motion, e.g. "The cat turns a page and smiles at the camera, steam rising from the coffee cup"
3. Generate and wait a moment for your clip
4. Not quite right? Add detail to the prompt and try again

Tips for Professional-Looking Clips

• Ask for one movement at a time for smoother, natural results
• Use camera language like "slow zoom in" or "slow pan from left to right"
• Make several clips in the same tone and join them into a story
