Grok Imagine Image is an image generation and editing model from xAI. It takes a text prompt, optionally with a reference image, and returns an image. It is part of xAI's Imagine API for image and video generation and editing, and it is billed per image rather than per token.
It accepts text and image input and returns images. It was released on March 2, 2026. Billing is per image, not per token.
Capabilities
Grok Imagine Image accepts text and images as input and produces an image as output. A text prompt alone creates a picture from scratch, while adding a reference image lets you guide or edit the result.
Because it returns images rather than text, it is called for visuals, not for chat or code, and each result is billed per image.

Grok Imagine Image is available through RealRelay's OpenAI-compatible API.
