AI image model
Grok Imagine AI Image Generator
Choose Grok Imagine when one source image is enough to set the visual starting point and the Standard or High mode should be selected before generating.
Grok Imagine task directions
These local references help turn the current Grok Imagine input and control contract into a concrete task direction. They are not presented as output from this model.
Every card identifies whether it is a verified model-family example or a visual reference. Reference cards are not model benchmarks or before-and-after claims.

When to choose Grok Imagine
A text or single-reference image direction with Standard or High mode selection.
Current workflow fit
Choose Grok Imagine when one source image is enough to set the visual starting point and the Standard or High mode should be selected before generating.
When to compare another model
Choose a multi-reference model when details from several source images must inform one result. Choose a model with manual 1K, 2K, or 4K tiers when the delivery size must be selected in advance.
How to create an image with Grok Imagine
Decide whether the prompt alone or one approved image sets the visual direction, then choose the current Standard or High mode and frame.
- 1
Choose text-only or one-image direction
Use the source image only when it establishes the subject or composition; otherwise write a full prompt and select the frame and mode.
- 2
Add references when needed
Upload approved reference images only when a defined visual starting point will help the result.
- 3
Confirm the framing
The model selects the output tier; confirm 5 aspect-ratio choices before generation.
- 4
Generate and review
Before public use, inspect visible text, product details, people, marks, and framing in the result.
Checks before you create and publish
