Quick answer

Grok Imagine Image 2.0

Grok Imagine Image 2.0 includes six functions: Precise prompt following, Sharper typography, Precise editing, Multiple visual references, Smart resize, and Consistent visual worlds.

Grok Imagine Image 2.0 sends Text to Image from the description alone. Image to Image keeps a source picture in the frame and can use up to five references. Pick one aspect ratio, generate, and check the still before you download. Each run uses 20 credits. A new account gets 30 credits, enough for one still.

Capabilities

Which functions can you use?

Grok Imagine Image 2.0 covers precise prompts, sharper type, precise edits, several references, a new frame size, and a look that stays consistent.

Precise prompt following

Put the subject, setting, composition, style, written words, and a small scene detail in the same prompt.

Precise prompt following keeps the subject, setting, composition, style, written words, and a small scene detail visible as the picture gets more detailed.

Use Text to Image for a new still, or Image to Image when a reference has to remain.

Sharper typography

Plan posters, infographics, editorial graphics, and illustrated guides with a headline and a short supporting line.

Sharper typography treats the headline and the short supporting line as part of the layout, next to the picture and the other design elements. Check the spelling after the run.

Put the exact headline in quotes and say where it sits, such as a large title on the left.

Precise editing

Change one area and leave the rest of the composition. Magic Wand means you point at a region. Segmentation means you separate a part, such as a person, a bicycle, or a sign.

Precise editing in Grok Imagine Image 2.0 happens in Image to Image. Name the Magic Wand region or the segmented part, and say what must stay. There is no separate mask picker.

Input: the source still plus the part to change. Output: one edited still.

Multiple visual references

Let a character, clothing, a location, an object, a prop, or a style reference shape different parts of one result.

Multiple visual references can assign a person, an outfit, a place, or a look to different files. Image to Image accepts up to five files. Say which file controls which part.

One file is enough for a local change. Add files only when each one has a job.

Smart resize

Fit the same scene to a portrait, square, landscape, or wider frame instead of only cropping the edges.

Smart resize on Grok Imagine Image 2.0 offers 9:16, 2:3, 1:1, 3:2, and 16:9. Pick the ratio before you generate or edit.

A new ratio asks the still to recompose around the subject. It is not a separate 2K export.

Consistent visual worlds

Keep a recognizable character, mood, prop, and color story from one still into the next scene.

Consistent visual worlds keep a recognizable character, mood, prop, and color story from one still into the next. When a result looks right, use that still as the next reference.

Consistent visual worlds repeat the same outfit, prop, and palette in the next prompt so later scenes belong together.

Workflow

How do you create or edit a still?

Four steps cover the mode switch, the prompt, the ratio, and the review.

  1. Step 1

    Choose Text to Image or Image to Image

    Text to Image on Grok Imagine Image 2.0 is for a new frame. Image to Image opens the reference slot and will not run until at least one picture is attached.

  2. Step 2

    Name the subject, light, type, and the part that must not move. Grok Imagine Image 2.0 still asks for at least 5 characters.

  3. Step 3

    Set the aspect ratio

    Open Advanced settings on Grok Imagine Image 2.0 and choose 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 16:9, or 9:16 before you spend credits. The price stays at 20 credits.

  4. Step 4

    Inspect, then continue

    Read edges, faces, and any short type. Download the still from Grok Imagine Image 2.0, continue the edit, upscale it, or send it to image-to-video.

FAQ

Common questions before you generate

These answers cover the two modes, local edits, the official API, and the file limits.

What is Grok Imagine Image 2.0 on this site?

Grok Imagine Image 2.0 is the still tool at this URL. Text to Image creates a new frame from a prompt. Image to Image revises pictures you upload, including a local change, a new background, or a mix of up to five references. It is a separate page from the Grok image editor and from the Grok Imagine 2.0 explainer.

Is this the official xAI Image 2 API?

No. Grok Imagine Image 2.0 here is not grok.com Quality Mode and not the official xAI API. Use xAI docs when you need that API. A local change is a prompt in Image to Image: name the Magic Wand region or the segmented part. This page has no mask-number picker and no 2K size.

How is Text to Image different from Image to Image?

Text to Image hides the upload slot and sends the prompt with an aspect ratio only. Image to Image shows the reference slot, requires one picture, and can take up to five. Switching back to text does not delete the files, but they are not sent.

Can I edit one part and keep the rest?

Yes. In Image to Image, name the region that changes and the parts that stay. Grok Imagine Image 2.0 uses that prompt with your references. This page does not ask you to pick mask numbers.

Does this include 2K or a quality switch?

No. Grok Imagine Image 2.0 on this page has one credit price, 20 credits, and five aspect ratios. It does not offer 2K, a quality tier, or an automatic ratio.
