What it is
Groki is a browser-based AI meme generator for creating still images and short animated memes. It offers meme templates, AI-written captions, face swapping, and image-to-video animation in a canvas editor. Still memes export as HD PNG, while animated creations export as MP4. The editor also works in mobile browsers on phones and tablets, without requiring an app installation. AI actions use credits: caption generation costs 1 credit, face swapping costs 12 credits, and turning a meme into a five-second video costs 30 credits. The Free plan includes 20 welcome credits, and free exports carry a small “made with groki.meme” mark; subscribers can switch it off in Account settings. A Credit bundle costs $1, paid once for 100 credits. Starter costs $4.99 a month for 550 credits monthly, and Connoisseur costs $14.99 a month for 1,800 credits monthly. Memes stay private unless published. Submitted media and prompts may be sent to service providers, and saved media may remain in the gallery until deleted.
