Grok Imagine: AI Image Editor Online

Grok on VdoBloom comes as three models with three price rules. The two image editors are flat-priced: Grok Imagine is 5 credits per edit, Grok Imagine Pro is 10 credits per edit at 1K or 2K. The video model, Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Preview, is priced per second and per resolution, at roughly 1.5 credits a second at 480p, 3 at 720p and 5 at 1080p, rounded to whole credits for each length.

Dollar figures below use the Lite one-time pack (300 credits for $19.50, about 6.5 cents a credit). The same 300 credits on the $15 monthly Lite plan cost less per credit, but subscription credits reset each billing cycle; only one-time pack credits never expire. The exact cost of your settings is always shown before you press generate, and a failed job is refunded.

These are the limits the VdoBloom code enforces for this model, not the limits of xAI's own app.

Both are single-image editors from xAI with the same MODERATE content label, and in the Image Edit tool both take exactly one reference photo. The difference is price, provider route and resolution control. Grok Imagine runs through KIE at one fixed quality for 5 credits. Grok Imagine Pro runs through Runware's xai:grok-imagine@image-pro endpoint, adds a 1K or 2K preset, and costs 10 credits either way.

Pick Grok Imagine when the edit is for social posting, a draft, or a variant you will judge on a phone screen. Pick Pro when the image has to hold up at 2K, for print, a product page hero, or a crop you will zoom into.

Open Image Edit, choose Grok Imagine in the model picker, upload one photo, write what should change, and generate. The credit cost (5) is shown before you confirm, and the result lands in My Creations, where you can download it or send it to another tool.

Because the output is an ordinary image in your library, a common next step is the Image to Video tab: upload the edited still there and animate it with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Preview, starting at 2 credits for a 1-second 480p test.

Grok Imagine edits the photo you give it rather than composing a new scene from several sources, so prompts work best when they name one change and say what stays the same.

The whole flow takes a minute, and the price never moves from 5 credits.

Because the price is flat, budgeting is simple arithmetic. The figures below use the 10 free signup credits and the 300-credit Lite pack ($19.50 one-time, credits never expire; or $15 a month, where credits reset each cycle).

A practical split many people use is edits plus short animations: for example, 20 Grok Imagine edits (100 credits) plus thirteen 5-second 720p Grok videos (195 credits) fit inside one Lite pack with 5 credits to spare.

Grok Imagine is the low-cost, single-photo option in VdoBloom's image editors. It fits creators who post a lot of quick variants, sellers who want a new background on one product shot, and anyone testing an idea before paying for a higher-resolution pass.

It is the wrong pick when the job needs several source photos merged into one image, a guaranteed 2K file, or a brand-new image from text with no photo at all. In those cases, move to a multi-reference editor, to Grok Imagine Pro for the 2K preset, or to a text-to-image model in the Image Generate tool. Every model's price is shown in the picker before you commit, so switching costs nothing until you generate.

These come from how VdoBloom calls the model today, so they are worth knowing before you spend credits.
