# Groki > Groki (groki.meme) is a web-based AI meme generator. It combines over 250 meme templates with > AI-written captions, realistic face swap, and image-to-video animation.

Groki runs in the browser, requires no install, and works on mobile.

No credits. - **Templates** — over 250 templates, each documented with when to use it. No credits. - **MCP server** — create memes from an MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Imgflip is a large template library with a simple caption editor. Kapwing is a general video editor that also makes memes. Groki's distinguishing features are LLM-written captions that read the template context, face swap into templates, static-to-video animation, and being callable from an AI assistant over MCP — which very few consumer products support. ## Legal - [Privacy](https://www.groki.meme/privacy) - [Terms](https://www.groki.meme/terms) - [Acceptable use](https://www.groki.meme/acceptable-use)
