Generate images with Grok Imagine
Grok Imagine is xAI's image model, and its argument is speed: quick answers, low cost, built for rapid back-and-forth where you adjust the prompt on every try. The look is modern and direct, less precious than the flagships but plenty for social visuals, concept tests and series. A good iteration companion, before handing the final version to a heavier model if needed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an image generated with Grok Imagine cost?
3 credits per image, about $0.04 (1 credit = $0.012). The exact cost shows on the Generate button before you click, and any failed generation is refunded automatically within seconds.
Can Grok Imagine edit an existing image?
Grok Imagine generates from text only. To retouch an existing render, one click creates a pre-wired Flux Kontext node dedicated to editing: both models draw from the same credits.
Can I try Grok Imagine for free?
Yes: signing up grants trial credits, no credit card required. Enough to test Grok Imagine in real conditions before deciding on a plan or a top-up.
Do I need to install anything to use Grok Imagine?
No: Grok Imagine runs server-side, in the browser, mobile included. Imaginode's node canvas wires its renders to the other models (references, camera, styles) with nothing to install.
