Grok Imagine Image API (xAI)
grok-imagine-imageGrok Imagine Image is xAI Grok's image model, focused on synchronous text-to-image and image editing (19s median in production) with strong in-image text rendering and an unusually wide aspect-ratio set (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, 2:1, 1:2, 19.5:9, 9:19.5, 20:9, 9:20, auto) — square, standard portrait/landscape and ultra-wide all covered. It is the speed-and-cost standard channel; for higher precision and finer detail with multi-round optimization, step up to Grok Imagine Image Pro. A common pattern is to draft at volume here and refine key images on Pro.
