Grok Imagine — AI image generator

The everyday xAI model — quick, sharp, and cheap enough to iterate on.

Grok Imagine is the standard tier of xAI's image family and the sensible default for ordinary work. It renders quickly at up to 2K, handles reference images for editing, and costs a fraction of what the 2.0 and Quality tiers do, which matters more than any single-image quality gap when you are still finding the shot.

The workflow it suits best is exploratory: fire off six variations of an idea here, decide which composition is actually the one, then re-render the winner on a heavier model if the final needs it. Paying flagship prices to discover that your prompt was wrong is the most common way to waste credits, and this tier exists to stop that.

What Grok Imagine is good for

Worth knowing before you spend credits

Text inside the image is hit and miss at this tier. If the words matter, go to Grok Imagine 2.0 rather than re-rolling here.
