Grok Image
Generated on PixelDojo with Grok Image. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Grok Image costs 1 credit per output on its default fast tier, and our sticker-style test came back in about 111 seconds on August 26, 2026, run inside a batch alongside four other model tests. Two pricier tiers exist above it: quality at 2 credits (1k) or 3 (2k) for sharper detail and text, and Imagine 2 at a flat 2 credits at either resolution. This page covers the three tiers, what the fast tier actually returned, and how the price scales when you ask for more than one image.

The three pricing tiers
Fast: 1 credit, the default
The original Grok Imagine model. Our test used this tier and cost 1 credit for one image.
Quality: 2 credits at 1k, 3 at 2k
Higher fidelity and stronger text rendering, at a resolution you choose explicitly.
Imagine 2: a flat 2 credits
The newest backbone, priced the same whether you request 1k or 2k output.
What the sticker prompt returned
A corgi in a full astronaut suit, cartoon-round face inside the helmet visor, floating against a dark navy starfield with a ringed planet and scattered stars. Bold white die-cut outline around the whole figure, flat cel-shaded coloring throughout, matching the sticker style the prompt asked for.
1 to 10 images per request, priced linearly
num_outputs scales the credit cost directly, so 3 fast-tier images in one call is 3 credits, same as three separate requests but in one round trip.
Seven aspect ratios
1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, and 2:3. We used the square 1:1 default, which fit the sticker composition well.
Fast tier: 1 credit, about 111 seconds for our test. Quality tier: 2 to 3 credits. Imagine 2: a flat 2 credits.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Grok Image
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
1 credit on the fast tier
The cheapest way into the Grok Imagine family, and the tier our test used.
Sticker-style prompts hold up well
Bold outlines, flat colors, and a clean die-cut edge all came through on the first result.
Cost scales linearly with output count
Request 1 to 10 images in a single call and the price multiplies cleanly, no separate per-batch fee.
How It Works
How we ran the 1 credit sticker test:
Leave quality on fast
The default tier is 1 credit. Naming quality or imagine-2 explicitly moves the price and the model.
Describe the style, not just the subject
Our prompt named bold outlines, flat colors, and a die-cut sticker style, and all three showed up in the result.
Generate in the app or over the API
From the tool page, or POST to /api/v1/models/xai-image/run. Ours charged 1 credit and returned in about 111 seconds.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Grok Image
How much does Grok Image cost?
1 credit per image on the fast tier, the default. The quality tier is 2 credits at 1k or 3 at 2k, and Imagine 2 is a flat 2 credits at either resolution.
How fast is Grok Image?
About 111 seconds in our August 26, 2026 test on the fast tier, run inside a batch of five concurrent model tests. It returned synchronously, with no job polling needed.
Does requesting more than one image cost more?
Yes, and it scales directly: num_outputs multiplies the per-image rate, so 3 images on the fast tier is 3 credits in one call.
What is the difference between the fast, quality, and Imagine 2 tiers?
Fast is the original model at 1 credit. Quality renders sharper detail and stronger text at 2 or 3 credits depending on resolution. Imagine 2 is the newest backbone at a flat 2 credits regardless of resolution.
How does Grok Image compare with Grok Video?
Grok Video costs 2 credits a second of clip length, so a 5 second video runs 10 credits against 1 credit for a fast-tier still. Pick Grok Image for a single frame and Grok Video only once you need motion.

POST to /api/v1/models/xai-image/run with your API key and a prompt. Add quality and resolution fields to move up to the pricier tiers. Same key as every other model in the catalog.
