Grok Imagine on reAPI serves xAI's Grok Imagine image models at one flat price per image. Pick the standard or high tier, ask for up to 10 images per request at 1k or 2k, and edit an existing image with a single reference — all on the shared images endpoint.

One sample at the cheapest tier (1 image).
Grok Imagine is xAI's image line inside the Imagine API: prompt in, finished images out, with editing on the same models. On reAPI, Grok Imagine is offered as a single endpoint with two quality tiers and one flat price per image on each. The standard tier is the volume tier — the cheapest way on the platform to turn a prompt into a usable image. The high tier spends more on every image for finer detail. Both tiers take up to 10 images per request, fourteen aspect ratios including auto, and 1k or 2k output, and neither the ratio nor the resolution changes what you pay. Send one reference image and the same call becomes an edit: describe the change, get the edited image back. Grok Imagine is the page to use when the job is a lot of images at a predictable cost — thumbnails, social creative, product mockups, quick concept boards — rather than a single hero render. The console on this page is connected, and every request is billed per delivered image.
Real-world workflows and production use cases you can build and ship with this model.
A catalog, a feed, a thumbnail set — when the job is hundreds of images, the price of each one matters more than any single render. Grok Imagine charges one flat rate per image on the standard tier, and the aspect ratio and resolution you pick do not move it, so a 2k banner from Grok Imagine costs exactly what a 1k square does.

Exploration is where image budgets leak. Grok Imagine returns up to 10 images from one prompt in a single request, billed per delivered image, so a creative team can review a full set of Grok Imagine options and pick one — then switch to the high tier for the final render.
Add a reference image and Grok Imagine edits instead of generating: restyle a photo, change a background, turn a product shot into a sketch. It is the same endpoint and the same flat price per image, so editing fits inside a volume workflow instead of needing a second tool.
Every image on a tier costs the same whatever the aspect ratio or resolution, so a Grok Imagine bill is images times rate — nothing to model, nothing to reconcile.
Switch Grok Imagine between standard and high with a single field. The request shape, the ratios, the batch size and the editing path stay identical, so a pipeline can trade cost for detail without a code change.
A single reference image turns Grok Imagine generation into editing on either tier, at the same flat rate. No separate endpoint, no separate pricing scheme, no second integration.
Both are xAI Grok Imagine image models and both run on reAPI. The difference is what you pay for: Grok Imagine sells a flat rate per image in two tiers; Grok Imagine 2.0 sells a richer control surface priced per combination. Here is how they line up on what each page documents.
Comparison reflects the request surfaces documented on reAPI's model pages and xAI's public Imagine documentation at the time of writing (September 2026). Rates for both models are on their respective pricing tables and are not restated here.

OpenPOST to the shared images endpoint with model grok-imagine, your prompt, and optionally quality, n, aspect_ratio, resolution or a single reference image. The response returns a task id.
OpenPoll the task until it completes and read the image URLs from the result — one entry per image Grok Imagine delivered. Failed tasks refund their credits automatically.
