Overview

About this model

Grok Imagine Quality is xAI's accuracy-first text-to-image mode. It runs the same Grok Imagine engine in pro/quality mode, prioritizing fidelity, sharper detail, and stronger lighting over generation speed. You still receive 6 unique images per generation across your chosen aspect ratio, but each image is rendered with greater visual precision — making it the right pick when the result needs to feel polished rather than fast.

Use Quality mode when you want concept art, marketing visuals, character designs, or detailed scenes that hold up under close inspection. The standard grok-imagine-text-to-image endpoint is the better fit when you want fast iteration; switch to this Quality variant when the output is the final deliverable.

1Final-quality concept art for films, games, and advertisements

2High-fidelity character and environment design

3Marketing visuals and hero imagery for campaigns

4Polished portfolio pieces where detail and lighting matter

5Hero shots that follow up on a faster speed-mode draft

How to Use Grok Imagine (Quality)

Prepare Your Input:
- Write a detailed text prompt describing the image you want. Specify lighting, mood, composition, and style for the best results.

Submit Your Request:
- Send the request to the endpoint grok-imagine-text-to-image-quality. Quality mode is enabled automatically — you do not need to pass any extra flag.
Receive Your Images:
- Each generation returns 6 unique images rendered in quality mode.
- Quality mode trades a small amount of speed for noticeably more accurate detail and lighting.
Refine if Needed:
- Adjust your prompt or aspect ratio and resubmit. Use the standard grok-imagine-text-to-image endpoint when you want faster iteration drafts.
