Grok Imagine Image 2.0 AI Image Generator
Grok Imagine Image 2.0 is xAI's newest image model, built for images you can put into real work — designed typography, layouts that hold together, and the same subject carried across generations. Run it here at 1K or 2K with up to five reference images, from a browser.

What is Grok Imagine Image 2.0?
xAI's image model, released on 2026-08-07 as the Quality Mode inside Grok. It was built around following instructions closely — planning typography and layout, and holding what you feed it across generations and edits.
xAI states the design goal plainly in its announcement: make images you can use in real work. That shows up in three places. It follows instructions down to the details rather than treating them as mood. It plans typography and layout the way a designer would, so a dense multi-part visual holds together and small text comes out sharp instead of dissolving into letter-shaped noise.
And it preserves what you put in — the same character, the same product, the same palette — across a run of generations, which is what turns a single lucky image into a set you can ship.
The company reports it ranking second in the world on both the text-to-image and image-editing Arena leaderboards as of its launch day, where xAI's entries are listed under SpaceXAI. On Veida AI it runs from the browser at 1K or 2K, in five aspect ratios, with up to five reference images in a single generation and up to four images per run.
Credits are shared with every other model here, so trying it costs nothing extra beyond the run itself.
Creative engine
How it runs here
Prompt in, 1K or 2K out, with optional reference images. The credit estimate updates before you generate.
Built for the second draft
The first generation is rarely the final asset, so the model is trained to change what you name and keep the rest.
Multi-reference in one pass
Up to five input images per generation, which removes a round of manual compositing.
When to reach for Grok Imagine
Pick Grok Imagine when the picture has a job to do and a second version is coming.
The image contains words
Posters, packaging, ads, thumbnails, UI mockups — anything where a misspelt headline makes the whole render useless.
You need a set, not a shot
A character across locations, a product across formats, an icon family. Consistency across generations is what it was trained for.
You have references to combine
A face, a garment and a setting can go in together rather than being composited by hand afterwards.
Grok Imagine features
What the model accepts here, and what each control does.
Text-to-image and image-to-image
Start from a prompt, or upload something you already have and describe the change you want made to it.
Five aspect ratios
16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2 and 9:16 — the frame is decided before generation rather than cropped afterwards.
1K or 2K output
1K for drafts and feeds, 2K when the result is going to print or needs to survive a crop.
Batch of up to four
Four variations of one prompt in a single run, which is the cheapest way to find the composition you want.

How to get a usable asset out of Grok Imagine
Four habits that decide whether you get a picture or something you can actually ship.
Write the words in full
Put the exact headline, the exact date line and the exact small print in the prompt, in quotation marks. Guessed wording is the one thing it cannot get right for you.
Describe the layout, not just the subject
Say where the headline sits, what goes underneath it and what fills the footer. Layout instructions are what this model was built to follow.
Bring your references in
Upload the character, the product or the palette rather than describing them. Five slots is enough to pin down a whole look in one pass.
Change one thing at a time
Once a composition works, re-run it with a single clause changed. Holding the rest steady is exactly what it is good at, and the comparison stays readable.
What people generate with Grok Imagine
Mostly work with a deadline attached — the jobs Grok Imagine gets pointed at.
Posters and event graphics
Where the credit block, the date and the venue all have to be readable at the size it prints.
Product and e-commerce shots
One bottle, one lighting setup, and a label that stays legible across every crop the listing needs.
Character and asset sheets
Game sprites, mascots and icon families that have to look like they came from one hand.
Thumbnails and social frames
Five ratios cover the feed formats, so the same idea is generated to fit rather than cropped until the text falls off.
One credit balance for every image model

Model credit guide
What each model costs in credits
You're only charged for successful generations, and the price of a model does not change with resolution — a 4K run costs exactly what a 1K draft costs.
| Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|
| Veida AI Image v1 | 4 credits. The house model, for a picture or an edit of your own photo, and the cheapest run on the site. |
| Nano Banana 2 Lite / Nano Banana 2.1 | 30 credits. Nano Banana 2 Lite and the newer Nano Banana 2.1, both of which also edit a photo you upload. |
| Seedream 5.0 Lite / Seedream 4.0 / Qwen Image 3 | 35 credits. Fast drafts and iteration passes, and the model built for legible text. |
| Seedream 4.5 / Seedream 5.0 Pro / Qwen Image 3.0 Pro | 40 credits. Photoreal detail and the Qwen text tier, flat across every aspect ratio. |
| Nano Banana 2 / GPT Image 2 / GPT Image 2.5 / Grok Imagine Image 2.0 | 50 credits. Both OpenAI models, GPT Image 2.5 included, plus Nano Banana 2 and Grok — 4K costs the same as 1K. |
| Nano Banana Pro | 70 credits. Nano Banana Pro, for fine detail that has to hold at print size. |
Grok Imagine questions
Common questions about generating with Grok Imagine online.
You can start in the generator on this page, and every new account gets a credit balance to spend on it. Credits are shared across every model on Veida AI, so nothing is locked to one of them.
Yes — Image 2.0 is the model xAI shipped on 2026-08-07 as the Quality Mode in its own apps. What differs here is the surface around it: a browser generator with the aspect ratio, resolution and reference slots exposed as controls, and one credit balance across every model on the site.
Five in a single generation. That is enough to pin a character, a garment, a prop and a palette at once, which is the case where compositing by hand used to be the only route.
The three examples on this page are the honest answer: a gig poster with four credit lines, a date line and a street address, all generated here on 2026-08-16, none of it typeset afterwards. Write the exact wording into your prompt and it renders that wording.
A flat 50 credits at either resolution. The aspect ratio does not change it, and a batch of four costs four runs.
Yes. Upload a source image in the generator and describe the change. Editing was treated as a first-class capability in this generation rather than as an afterthought bolted onto a text-to-image model.
xAI reports it second in the world on both the text-to-image and image-editing Arena leaderboards as of its launch day, with OpenAI's GPT Image 2 first in both. Both models run here, so you can put the same prompt through each and judge for your own use case rather than take either company's word for it.
Grok renders at medium quality by default and has a distinct, less airbrushed look that suits meme-adjacent and editorial images. The Banana line is more controllable for edits. Use Grok when you want its texture, not as a substitute.
