About Grok Imagine Image Quality

Grok Imagine Image Quality is the higher-fidelity tier of xAI's first-generation Imagine image line. It takes text and reference images and returns a finished picture, either a new image or an edit of one you supply. Pick it over the standard Grok Imagine Image model when detail matters more than cost, and use the same aspect ratios and 1K or 2K sizes.

Where it works well

Aimed at higher fidelity than the standard Imagine tier, for final art rather than quick drafts.
Generates from text and edits from supplied images in a single model.
Wide aspect ratio list, including tall phone shapes and an auto mode, covers feed, story and banner formats.
1K and 2K output sizes let you match resolution to the destination.
Suits visual design work where prompt details such as materials and lighting must show up.

When to choose another model

It is the heavier tier, so exploratory batches are better run on the standard model first and only the keepers re-rendered on this model.
Still images only; video needs a Grok Imagine video model.
Some fine details such as small text can still need regeneration.

FAQ

What is Grok Imagine Image Quality?

It is xAI's higher-fidelity Imagine image model for prompt-driven generation and editing. It accepts text and images, and returns still images in your chosen aspect ratio at 1K or 2K.

Quality or standard grok-imagine-image?

Use the standard model for drafts and large batches, and quality for the final render when detail matters. The two accept similar inputs and options, so you can move a prompt between them without rewriting it.

Does it support image editing?

Yes. Provide an image and an instruction, and the model returns a revised picture. It also generates from text alone. One model handles both jobs, so a design can go from first generation to revision without changing tools.

What aspect ratios can I choose?

Options run from square to wide and tall, including 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16 and phone-height ratios such as 9:20, plus an auto setting. Pick a ratio that fits the placement, such as a vertical one for stories and a wide one for banners and hero sections.

Can it make video?

No. It outputs still images. To animate one, send it to a Grok Imagine video model that supports image-to-video. Animation happens in a separate step, so keep the approved still as the starting frame for the clip.
