How to Save Grok Images and Videos Automatically (2026)

Grok is one of the fastest AI image and video generators available. But the workflow has a major gap: saving your work is completely manual. Right-click, save as, rename, repeat. And if you forget? Your images might vanish entirely. There have been multiple reports of Grok deleting generated videos from user accounts without warning.

The Manual Workflow Problem

A typical Grok Imagine session looks like this:

1. Type a prompt
2. Wait for generation
3. Right-click the image, save as, pick a folder
4. Type the next prompt
5. Repeat

At roughly 2 minutes per cycle (prompt, wait, save), generating 50 images takes about 1.5-2 hours of active clicking. And that's assuming nothing gets flagged by moderation, which has gotten significantly more aggressive in 2026.

Auto-Save with Grok Suite

Grok Suite is a free Chrome extension that eliminates the manual save step entirely. Here's how it works:

Auto-favourite: The extension automatically clicks the heart button on every generated image, saving it to your Grok library in the background. You see real-time status indicators on each image: yellow means it's queuing, green means saved, red means something went wrong.

This happens instantly as each image generates. No clicking, no forgetting, no lost work.

But Saving Is Just the Beginning

Auto-save solves the immediate problem, but the real time savings come from automating the entire workflow:

Batch Prompt Sending

Instead of typing prompts one at a time, paste a list of 10, 50, or 200 prompts into the batch sender. The extension sends each one automatically with configurable delays between them. Walk away and come back to a full library of results.

Time comparison for 50 images:

• Manual: ~2 hours of active clicking
• Batch send + auto-save: ~5 minutes of setup, then unattended

Auto-Retry for Moderation

Grok's moderation system has gotten stricter in 2026, and it's notoriously inconsistent. The same prompt might get rejected three times and work on the fourth try. During a batch run, a single moderation flag would normally stop everything.

Auto-retry handles this automatically: when a prompt gets the "content moderated" message, the extension resubmits until it goes through. The queue keeps moving.

Prompt Templates

Write a single template with bracket variables:

A [subject|woman,man,child] in a [setting|forest,desert,city] during [time|sunset,sunrise,midnight], [style|cinematic,watercolor,oil painting]

Each generation randomly picks from the options. One template produces dozens of unique variations without you typing each one.

Image-to-Video Batch

Once you have a library of favourited images, select the ones you want and batch-convert them all to video. Set prompts per image or use a template.

Because auto-favourite keeps images native inside Grok (they were never downloaded and re-uploaded), Grok almost never rejects them for video conversion. If you've tried feeding external images into Grok's image-to-video, you know the rejection rate is high.

The Full Pipeline

Here's what the complete automated workflow looks like:

1. Set up prompts (2-5 minutes): Paste a list or load a template
2. Start the batch: Prompts send automatically
3. Auto-retry: Moderation rejections get retried automatically
4. Auto-favourite: Every result gets hearted and saved
5. Batch image-to-video: Select the best images, convert to video in one click

Steps 2-4 run completely unattended. You set it up and walk away.

Getting Started

1. Install Grok Suite from the Chrome Web Store
2. Open grok.com and you'll see the Grok Suite panel
3. Toggle on auto-favourite in settings
4. Generate as usual, or use batch mode for volume

The extension is free during early preview with all features unlocked.

Why Not Just Use Grok's Built-In Save?

Grok does let you manually heart images. The problem is:

• You have to remember to do it for every single image
• It doesn't work during batch generation because you're not there to click
• There's no batch image-to-video in the native interface
• There are no prompt templates or auto-retry for moderation
• There's no task queue to manage large generation runs

Grok Suite automates all of this into a single hands-free pipeline.
