What is the Grok Imagine API?

The Grok Imagine API gives applications programmatic access to xAI's Grok Imagine model family. Generate images and video from a text prompt, edit an existing image with natural-language instructions, or animate a still image into a cinematic clip with synchronized ambient audio.

Muapi exposes the complete Grok Imagine endpoint catalogue through one REST API. Use the image and video playgrounds to compare endpoints, then combine generation, editing, and video extension in your own workflow.

Key Capabilities

Text-to-Image Generation

Turn a prompt into vivid, stylish images, with a dedicated high-fidelity Quality mode and 6 images per call.

Precise Instruction-Following

Image 2.0 follows detailed prompts down to fine layout and typography, ideal for posters and dense compositions.

Natural-Language Image Editing

Edit an existing image or chain a targeted follow-up edit to a prior Image 2.0 generation by its request_id.

Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video

Generate 6-30 second video clips from a prompt or an image, with synchronized ambient audio and fluid motion.

Video Extension

Continue an existing Grok Imagine video generation while maintaining its visual style and motion.

Async REST, No App Required

Every endpoint uses Muapi's standard asynchronous submit-and-poll pattern — no chat interface or manual prompting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I generate images from a text prompt with Grok Imagine?

Yes. grok-imagine-text-to-image returns 6 images per call; grok-imagine-text-to-image-quality trades speed for higher fidelity and detail.

What's different about Grok Imagine Image 2.0?

Image 2.0 (grok-imagine-image-2) focuses on precise instruction-following, sharp typography and layout planning, and has a dedicated chained follow-up edit endpoint (grok-imagine-image-2-edit) that edits by request_id rather than a re-uploaded image.

Can I edit an existing image with Grok Imagine?

Yes. grok-imagine-image-to-image accepts an uploaded image plus natural-language instructions. grok-imagine-image-2-edit instead chains a targeted edit off a prior Image 2.0 generation's request_id, optionally scoped with mask_indexs.

Can Grok Imagine generate video?

Yes. grok-imagine-text-to-video and grok-imagine-image-to-video generate 6-30 second clips with synchronized ambient audio. grok-imagine-video-1-5-preview is a preview of the next video model, and grok-imagine-extend continues an existing video generation.

How much does the Grok Imagine API cost?

Image endpoints (text-to-image, quality mode, Image 2.0, image-to-image, and Image 2.0 edits) cost $0.05 per call. Text-to-video, image-to-video, and video extension cost $0.15-$0.05 per call depending on the endpoint. The video 1.5 preview model costs $0.64 per call.

Do I need to prompt Grok Imagine through a chat interface?

No. Muapi exposes Grok Imagine as standard asynchronous REST endpoints. Create an API key, submit JSON, and poll the returned request ID without a chat UI or manual prompting.
