Grok Imagine by xAI is powered by Aurora — an autoregressive mixture-of-experts model trained on billions of examples. It excels at photorealistic rendering, precise text instruction following, and generating complex multi-person scenes with natural spatial relationships.
Grok Imagine is xAI's AI image generation platform built on the Aurora engine — an autoregressive mixture-of-experts transformer that generates images patch-by-patch, giving each part contextual awareness of the entire composition. Unlike diffusion models, Aurora's architecture produces superior text rendering, natural multi-person scenes with distinct faces, and consistent lighting. Ranked #1 on Artificial Analysis Text-to-Video benchmarks, Grok Imagine also supports image editing and video generation through a unified API.
Unlike diffusion models, Aurora generates images patch-by-patch where each part knows about previously generated parts — resulting in superior compositional consistency.
Accurately render readable text, logos, signs, and labels within images. Aurora's architecture inherently understands typography and character placement.
Generate complex scenes with multiple people, each with distinct faces, natural spatial relationships, and realistic proportions.
Generate up to 10 image variants per prompt in a single request. Perfect for A/B testing, exploring creative directions, and finding the ideal composition.
Upload existing images and transform them with natural language. Grok Imagine Edit supports background replacement, restyling, and targeted modifications.
From photorealism to anime, digital painting to cyberpunk — Grok Imagine handles diverse visual styles with consistent quality and creative fidelity.
Single pricing tier for this model.
Write a detailed text prompt. Include specifics about lighting, composition, and style. Aurora's MoE architecture precisely follows complex instructions.
Select your preferred aspect ratio from 5 options (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3, 3:2). Grok Imagine automatically optimizes for the highest photorealistic quality.

Grok Imagine is xAI's AI image generation platform powered by Aurora, an autoregressive mixture-of-experts model. It excels at photorealistic rendering, text/logo rendering in images, and complex multi-person scenes. It also supports image editing and video generation.
Grok Imagine costs 5 credits per image generation. The image editing mode (Grok Imagine Edit) is also available at the same credit cost for image-to-image transformations.
Grok Imagine uses an autoregressive architecture (not diffusion), generating images patch-by-patch with full contextual awareness. This produces superior text rendering, natural multi-person scenes with distinct faces, and better compositional consistency than diffusion-based alternatives.
Yes, Grok Imagine Edit is available on the Image-to-Image page. Upload an image and describe changes using natural language. The AI can restyle, replace backgrounds, and make targeted edits while preserving the overall composition.
Aurora is xAI's autoregressive mixture-of-experts transformer model trained on billions of text and image examples. Unlike diffusion models that work with noise, Aurora predicts image patches sequentially — giving it deep understanding of composition, lighting, and spatial relationships.
Yes, Grok Imagine has best-in-class text rendering capabilities. It can accurately generate readable text, logos, signs, and labels within images — a significant advantage over many diffusion-based models that struggle with typography.
