Grok Image 2.0
xAI · AI imageGrok Imagine Image 2.0 is xAI's current image model for text-to-image and image-to-image editing. It accepts a text prompt and optional reference images, and returns a still with controllable aspect ratio.
On VidMachine we always generate at 1K resolution and low quality so each image stays at xAI's $0.04 output price, billed at 9 credits per image.
Key features and benefits
Text-to-image and editing
Generate from a prompt alone, or edit with up to three reference images on the Imagine edits endpoint. The same model covers both workflows, so you can iterate on a still without switching providers.
1K output on VidMachine
The API supports 1K and 2K. VidMachine locks resolution to 1K and quality to low so cost stays predictable. Aspect ratios include 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, and other common social and web formats.
Photorealistic and stylized stills
Use it for key frames, thumbnails, and social posts that need coherent lighting, materials, and composition before you animate the frame with a video model.
