Elon Musk's Grok AI now provides its Imagine feature for free for Android customers, as iOS users are already enjoying the advantage. The release is another major milestone towards Musk's dream of making AI creativity software accessible to more individuals.

Grok Imagine allows users to create AI images and videos from simple text or voice instructions. In an X (formerly Twitter) tweet, Musk said the feature will remain free to use for a period of time, urging users to experience it before prices are changed.

Musk had said that users have already created more than 44 million images with Grok Imagine, and that number continues to rise. The new Android iteration of the feature could drive that number much, much higher.

What Grok Imagine Can Do

The app doesn't end there with static images. Grok Imagine free for Android also has a powerful feature to convert images into brief videos. If you start with an AI-generated image or upload one that already exists on your phone, the app can animate it in mere seconds.

There are four animation modes to choose from:

·         Normal – Smooth, natural appearing animations

·         Fun – Whimsical, playful effects

·         Custom – More control over style and pace

·         Spicy – A more assertive and innovative style

This live-to-motion functionality is appealing to producers who want compelling content without having to invest hours in sophisticated editing software.

How to Use Grok Imagine

To start using Grok Imagine for free on Android is easy:

·         Download the Grok app on the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS)

·         Open the app and choose 'Imagine' in the top menu

·         Say or write out your prompt for the picture you want to create

·         Or, use a pre-existing image and crop it with AI computer programs

·         To make the image a video, click on 'Make video' and choose a mode

·         In seconds, you'll have a quality AI image or animation to share

Competition in the AI Creativity Space

Grok Imagine's availability for free on Android puts Musk's AI head-to-head against other big guns like OpenAI and Google. ChatGPT is capable of generating images and videos, and Google Gemini is capable of the same. But the real-time interactivity and play modes of Grok Imagine make it possibly more appealing to general consumers and social media content creators.

The timing is also noteworthy. OpenAI just released GPT-5, which is reported to cut AI hallucinations — a chronic problem in the field. Musk's own Grok 4, released in July, was proclaimed to be "the world's most powerful AI model" before GPT-5 was released. Musk has established Grok 5, coming before the end of 2025, as being "crushingly good."

Why It Matters

By offering Grok Imagine free for Android, Musk is inviting tens of millions of new users to experience high-quality AI creativity at no cost. The free offer for a limited time may build loyalty before the platform may eventually turn paid.

It also implies Musk's willingness to engage other technology giants in direct competition — not only in language models of AI, but in the rapidly expanding industry of AI-generated imagery.

Now, both iOS and Android users are able to access the creative power of Grok Imagine free for Android. Whether taking incredible stills or turning them into short, compelling videos, the app is going to make a gigantic splash in the mobile AI universe.

If you've been curious about AI art, now is your best opportunity to test out Grok Imagine for free on Android before the timer runs out on this special offer.
