Batch Imagine work without unofficial extensions
Batch Imagine work without unofficial extensions
People search for “mass generate” and “bulk download” for Grok Imagine. Third-party browser extensions advertise those buttons. xAI’s documented consumer path is different: generate in Imagine, keep files with the per-item download controls, and use official Automations for scheduled jobs. Automations do not export your Imagine library in bulk.
What official docs cover
- Imagine on grok.com/imagine and in the apps creates stills and video into your library.
- Per-item download / save keeps a still or MP4 on your device. Steps live in Download and keep media from your Imagine library.
- Automations at grok.com/automations run a described job on a schedule or email trigger, then open a real conversation and report back. Scheduled Automations are available to everyone; email triggers need SuperGrok. See Create a scheduled Grok Automation.
- Watermark stays on generated media. The product FAQ says there is no setting to remove it, and altering provenance signals violates the Acceptable Use Policy.
Practical batch patterns that stay on-product
- Put related gens in an Imagine Project so you can find the set later with Search.
- Download each keepable still or clip as you finish it, or in a short pass through the Project grid.
- For recurring research or brief jobs that should fire while you are away, create an Automation with clear instructions and Run now once before you trust the schedule.
- Watch Settings → Usage when paid Imagine work shares the weekly pool with Chat, Voice, Build, and API.
What to skip
Browser extensions and “mass generate” UIs that drive grok.com for you are not xAI Automations. They are third-party UI automation. They can break on layout changes, fight rate limits, and sit outside xAI support. Prefer the documented Imagine + download + Automations path above.
There is no consumer FAQ entry for a one-click bulk ZIP of your entire Imagine library. Until xAI documents one, treat per-item download as the supported export.
Pitfalls
- Automations open full conversations on each run. Treat them as scheduled jobs. They do not silently pipe bulk images out of your library.
- Extra Usage Credits and plan upgrades are the documented ways past a weekly Imagine cap — not an unofficial queue tool. See Check your weekly Grok usage.
- Free-space cleanup for uploaded and generated files is on grok.com/files, separate from downloading keepers to your device.
