AI Image Generation with xAI Grok Image
xAI's new entrant in AI image generation. Grok Image creates and edits images from text prompts with flexible aspect ratios. A fresh competitor bringing xAI's reasoning capabilities to visual content creation.
What makes Grok Image different
Generate and edit in one node
Grok Image covers both directions: prompt-only text-to-image, or attach an input image and describe the change you want — the model rewrites the picture instead of starting from scratch. One node on your Scenetra board handles fresh generations and edit passes alike.
Two cents per image
At a flat $0.02 per image, Grok Image is one of the cheapest generators on Scenetra — a dollar buys roughly 50 images. That price point changes how you work: generate wide, keep the best frames, and spend your budget on the video models those frames feed into.
Eight aspect ratios, including 2:1
Square, portrait, landscape, and the wide 2:1 banner format are all native options — 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 9:16, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, and 2:1. Pick the frame your content actually ships in rather than cropping a square render afterward.
A natural first stage for video pipelines
Because Scenetra is a node board, Grok Image slots in as the cheap ideation stage of bigger workflows: generate stills at $0.02 each, wire the keeper into Grok Imagine Video v1.5 or any other image-to-video node, and the whole pipeline lives on one canvas.

What is Grok Image?+
Grok Image is xAI's image model from the Grok Imagine family. It generates images from text prompts and can edit an existing image when you attach one and describe the change. On Scenetra it runs as a node in the visual workflow editor — in the browser, no X app or API key required.
Is the Grok image generator free to use?+
On Scenetra you can try it free: new accounts get free welcome credits and a 7-day trial, and at $0.02 per image those credits go a long way. After the trial it's pay-per-generation from your credit balance — no subscription tier gates the model.
How much does Grok Image cost?+
A flat $0.02 per image on Scenetra, regardless of aspect ratio — about 50 images per dollar. That makes it one of the cheapest image models on the platform, well suited to generating in volume and curating afterward.
Can Grok Image edit existing images?+
Yes — attach an input image to the node and describe the change in your prompt. The model applies the edit rather than generating from scratch, which covers background swaps, restyles, and iterative touch-ups. Edits cost the same $0.02 per output image.
Do I need X Premium to use Grok Imagine for images?+
Not on Scenetra. Free access to Grok Imagine inside the X app has come and gone with subscription changes, but on Scenetra the model is simply pay-per-image with no X account involved — and it sits next to every other image model on the same board.
Is Grok Image better than Nano Banana or Seedream?+
They serve different jobs. Grok Image's edge is price — $0.02 versus roughly $0.04-$0.07 per image for Nano Banana 2 or Seedream 4.5 — which makes it ideal for volume ideation. The pricier models tend to win on fine detail, text rendering, and higher resolutions. On Scenetra all of them are on one board, so you can run the same prompt through each and judge with your own eyes.
What aspect ratios does Grok Image support?+
Eight: 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 9:16, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, and 2:1. That includes vertical formats for stories, standard photo ratios, and the wide 2:1 banner shape.
