What parameters does it take?

images (Images): required

prompt (Prompt): required

resolution (Resolution): optional, default "2k"

quality (Quality): optional, default "medium"

n (Image Count): optional, default 1

How do you write prompts for xAI Grok Imagine Image v2.0 Edit?

1. Subject first: lead with the actor and action, then add environment, lighting and style ("an astronaut sprinting through a neon street in the rain, cinematic, shallow depth of field").

2. Concrete nouns beat stacked adjectives: "85mm portrait lens, golden-hour backlight" works far better than "very beautiful, ultra high quality".

3. Change one variable per iteration: pin the seed to reproduce a result, tweak a single phrase at a time so you know what actually moved the output.

4. State negatives positively: instead of "no blur", ask for "sharp focus, crisp details".

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-use in credits. A typical run costs about $0.090 ($1 = 100 credits); the exact price varies with parameters like resolution or duration, and the playground shows the exact quote before you submit.
