API README

Grok Imagine Image 2.0 Text To Image

Grok Imagine Image 2.0 Text To Image is a specialized SandBase endpoint built to render original images directly from detailed natural-language direction. It is most useful when teams need fast visual ideation and polished image generation, with the route’s inputs defining a repeatable production contract instead of leaving critical delivery choices to an ad-hoc manual workflow.

Use this exact route when its input mode matches the creative asset already in hand: describe the visual or spoken result clearly, set only the controls that support the intended delivery, and keep the subject, action, environment, camera or performance direction internally consistent. The result is returned asynchronously as a downloadable media URL suitable for review, automation, or downstream finishing.

Highlights

Prompt-native composition. Build a new visual from subject, environment, lighting, camera, materials, and mood without preparing a reference image.
Quality-tier iteration. Low mode supports economical exploration, while medium mode is available when the selected concept needs a more resolved pass.
Two resolution tiers. Generate at 1K for everyday use or 2K when fine detail and larger placements matter.
Ten delivery shapes. Aspect ratios from 21:9 through 9:16 let the model compose for cinematic, editorial, square, portrait, and mobile canvases.

Pricing

Billed per generated image at xAI list price.

Resolution	Quality	Price per output
1K	Low	$0.04
1K	Medium	$0.06
2K	Low	$0.06
2K	Medium	$0.08

When to Use

Scenario	Why this route fits
Concept development	Choose Grok Imagine Image 2.0 Text To Image when its text to image workflow matches the starting material and you need several clearly directed variations.
Production iteration	Use explicit duration, resolution, ratio, seed, or quality controls to compare versions without changing the core creative brief.
Channel adaptation	Generate directly in the landscape, square, portrait, or vertical format required by the destination whenever that control is available.
Automated pipelines	Integrate the asynchronous media URL into review queues, asset libraries, publishing tools, or a later finishing stage.
Alternative route	Pick a related text-, image-, reference-, edit-, or turbo route when the available source media or required degree of control is different.

Prompt Guide

Lead with the main subject or source asset, then describe the intended action or transformation, environment, composition, camera or vocal delivery, lighting and mood. Keep instructions concrete and compatible; use the route’s explicit fields for duration, resolution, ratio, quality, voice, or reproducibility instead of burying those settings in prose.
