Grok Imagine Image 2.0 AI Image Generator
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.

How to get a usable asset out of it
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 is xAI's Image 2.0 model?
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 SayMaker 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 it
Pick it 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.
Feature overview
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 fastest way to find the composition you want.

What people generate with it
Mostly work with a deadline attached.
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.
SayMaker pricing — you pay per generation, never per seat
One credit pool covers Nano Banana images and Seedance and Veo video. The cost shows before every run, the safety check runs before the model does, and a failed run is refunded automatically. Use a subscription for ongoing work, or a one-time pack when you just need to top up.

Model credit guide
What each model costs in credits
A failed run is refunded automatically. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.5 | The long-take tier, priced per second: 5s 480p ≈ 525 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 1,185. A full 30s take runs ≈ 3,150 at 480p and ≈ 7,090 at 720p. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | Supplying a starting frame or clip costs less than starting from words alone: 6s 720p ≈ 565 credits from an image, ≈ 925 from text. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 6s 720p text-to-video ≈ 745 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest tier of the Seedance 2 family. 6s 720p ≈ 465 credits, 6s 480p ≈ 215 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Audio doubles the rate. 6s 720p ≈ 85 credits silent, ≈ 160 with audio; 1080p ≈ 175 and ≈ 340. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second, and the tier you pick is the whole price: Lite ≈ 115 credits at 720p and ≈ 135 at 1080p, Fast ≈ 225 at 720p, Quality ≈ 940 at 720p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate by about half. 6s 720p ≈ 320 credits silent, ≈ 455 with audio; 1080p ≈ 405 and ≈ 610. |
| Video | MiniMax H3 | Fixed 2K, no resolution ladder. Priced per second — a 5s clip ≈ 395 credits. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 | Generate or edit from text and images. 20 credits per 1K image, 30 at 2K, 45 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. 30 credits per 1K or 2K image, 55 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant, and the everyday editing price: a flat 15 credits per image at every resolution. |
| Image | GPT Image 2 | The lowest-cost premium image model here. 10 credits per 1K image, 15 at 2K, 30 at 4K. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Flare | OpenAI's newest image model, on the fast tier. 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K — same price whether you generate or edit. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | The 2.5 tier for edits that touch only what you named. Same price as Flare: 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K. |
| Image | Seedream 5.0 Lite | Flat pricing — 20 credits per image whether you generate or edit. |
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about generating with this model 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 SayMaker, 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.
45 credits at 1K and 60 at 2K. The aspect ratio does not change either number, 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.
