Grok Imagine: AI Image Editor Online
Bottom line
xAI's image editor on VdoBloom: upload one image, describe the change, five aspect ratios, flat 5 credits. Open the Image Edit tool, select Grok Imagine, upload your image, and the exact credit cost appears before the edit runs.
Grok Imagine is xAI's image model, and on VdoBloom it runs specifically as an editor: upload one reference image, describe the change in a prompt, and it applies the edit. There's no from-scratch text-to-image mode on this listing — if you want to generate an image with no starting photo, a dedicated generator model is the better fit; Grok Imagine's job here is transforming an image you already have.
It covers five aspect ratios — 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 16:9, and 9:16 — with no resolution selector, so output renders at one fixed quality tier. That keeps the interface simple: pick a ratio, upload, prompt, generate. VdoBloom rates it 4.2 and prices it at a flat 5 credits per edit regardless of aspect ratio, with the exact cost confirmed before you run it.
Content filtering carries a MODERATE label — standard rules, not the strict provider-side lockdown some Google and OpenAI models apply, and not the more permissive HOT tier either. It's a proprietary xAI model with no open-weight release, so this VdoBloom listing (or xAI's own product) is the only way to use it — there's no local or self-hosted option.
What it costs on VdoBloom
Grok Imagine is flat-priced at 5 credits per edit — the same regardless of aspect ratio, since there's no resolution selector to scale the price. That matches the cost of Nano Banana Edit, the closest comparable model on the platform.
Grok Imagine vs. Nano Banana Edit
Both are single-price image editors on VdoBloom at 5 credits per run, but they trade off differently. Nano Banana Edit accepts up to 10 reference images per job and offers ten aspect ratios including 4:5, 5:4, and 21:9, but carries VdoBloom's STRICT content label — Google's firm provider-side filters. Grok Imagine is limited to one reference image and five standard aspect ratios, but its MODERATE content rating gives it more room on prompts that Nano Banana Edit's stricter filter would refuse. Pick Nano Banana Edit for multi-image composites; pick Grok Imagine for single-image edits where you've hit a wall with stricter filtering elsewhere.
What creators use Grok Imagine for
- Quick single-image edits — changing an outfit, background, or object — without a multi-reference workflow.
- Vertical 9:16 edits for social content at a predictable flat cost.
- Testing edit prompts cheaply at 5 credits before moving to a higher-reference-count model for a final composite.
- Photo-orientation edits using the 3:2 aspect ratio that many editors skip.

Frequently asked questions
What does Grok Imagine cost on VdoBloom?
A flat 5 credits per edit, regardless of which of the five aspect ratios you choose. The exact cost is shown before you generate.
Is Grok Imagine free to use on VdoBloom?
VdoBloom runs it as a paid, credit-based tool like every other model on the platform — there's no separate free tier specific to Grok Imagine here. New accounts get 10 free credits at signup, which covers two edits at 5 credits each.
Does Grok Imagine generate images from text, or only edit?
On VdoBloom, this listing is edit-only — it requires one uploaded reference image plus a prompt describing the change. It doesn't create an image from a text prompt alone.
How to use Grok Imagine on VdoBloom?
Open the Image Edit tool, select Grok Imagine from the model picker, upload your reference image, write a prompt describing the change, pick an aspect ratio, review the 5-credit cost, and generate.
How strict is Grok Imagine's content filter?
VdoBloom rates it MODERATE — standard filtering, not as permissive as the HOT tier or as strict as the STRICT tier some other models on the platform carry. Clearly restricted material is still blocked.
Grok Imagine vs. Nano Banana Edit — which should I use?
Both cost the same on VdoBloom (5 credits flat). Nano Banana Edit accepts up to 10 reference images against Grok Imagine's one, so it's the better fit for multi-source composites. Grok Imagine carries a looser MODERATE content label versus Nano Banana Edit's STRICT rating, so it has more room for stylized or unconventional edits that Google's filters would reject outright.
Does Grok Imagine have a daily limit on VdoBloom?
No separate daily cap beyond your credit balance — you can run as many 5-credit edits as your credits allow. Any limits you've seen referenced elsewhere apply to xAI's own consumer product, not to this VdoBloom listing.
What happens if my edit fails?
VdoBloom refunds failed generations automatically, so a failed attempt doesn't cost you credits.
