What is GenTok?

GenTok is a web app for making short AI videos and images for social media. You pick one of 58 effects, such as a tornado, melting or an action figure, or start from text, a photo, your product and logo, a talking photo or a start and end picture. Images are free up to 10 a day; videos cost pay-as-you-go credits, with the price shown before each job. You can also create videos from Claude or ChatGPT through its connector.

What you make with GenTok

GenTok targets short social videos. The fastest path is an effect: choose one, such as Tornado, Turn to gold or Collectible figure, type what is in the shot or add your photo, and get a clip to post on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. The site says every effect shows five real examples and a video is ready in one to two minutes.

For brand work, you can upload up to three pictures, label each as a person, product, logo, place or style, and describe the scene, for example a product hero shot or a logo reveal. A talking photo makes a face say your script with captions, and a three-scene story plays scenes one after another in a 10-second video with the same characters.

Videos come in vertical 9:16, wide 16:9 or square 1:1, can be upscaled to twice the resolution, and text-to-video clips run 5 or 10 seconds. With Premium video quality you can save a character and a place once and reuse them, so the same face, outfit and room appear across videos. A connector for Claude, ChatGPT (developer mode) and Claude Code lets you ask for a video in plain words; the chat shows the price in credits and uses the same account.

Pricing and access

A free account, with no card needed, includes 10 AI images per day, reset at midnight UTC; premium images cost credits. Videos always cost credits, at $0.01 each: the site lists about 20 credits for a 5-second Fast video, 42 for a 5-second Premium video, 23 for a talking photo, 64 for a 10-second three-scene story and 4 for an HD upscale. The terms say credit prices follow the cost of the underlying AI models, so they change over time, and the app shows the exact price before every job.

Credit packs cost $10 for 1,000 credits, $25 for 2,750 and $50 for 6,000, or a custom amount from $5. Purchased credits are valid for 12 months. There is no subscription; the terms say one may be offered later.

Operator, models and rights

GenTok is operated by CoinAxe Ltd, a company registered in Malta (no. C 94976). Jobs run on deAPI, which the privacy policy describes as another CoinAxe service that passes them to the provider running the chosen model. The privacy policy names OpenAI's GPT Image 2 for character, place and scene images; the public sources we inspected do not identify every video model. GenTok says it sends providers only the job content, never your name, email or IP address, and does not use your prompts, uploads or creations to train AI models.

Provider rules also apply: OpenAI, for example, may keep API data for up to 30 days to detect abuse. The policy asks you not to put confidential material, such as passwords, ID documents or health information, into prompts, scripts or uploads. You can ask to see, download or delete your data by writing to [email protected]. Creations stay in your account unless you turn on a public link, but this is not described as encrypted private storage.

You must be 18 or older. You own your creations and may use them commercially, but the terms warn that AI-made content may not be protected by copyright and results are not unique. Only upload photos of people who agreed, and label realistic AI videos as AI-generated when you post them.

A first workflow to try

Create a free account and make a few free images to learn the prompts. Then check that checkout is open and read the current price quote, buy the smallest pack you need, and try one 5-second Fast effect video, about 20 credits or $0.20, and the same idea as Premium, about 42 credits, to compare motion quality. If you sell a product, test a product-and-logo scene with your own photos and check whether the logo stays legible before you post it.
