Grok Imagine Image Quality

Grok Imagine Image Quality

Grok Imagine Image Quality extends the Grok image family with stronger fidelity and edit support. Use it when concepts need a more polished finish or iterative refinement from a reference still.

Pair with Grok Imagine Image for cheap exploration, then move winners here for higher-end stills and edits.

Why choose Grok Imagine Image Quality

Key strengths

• The fidelity-focused Grok image tier for cleaner detail and more polished output.
• Supports reference-based editing as well as new image generation.
• A practical finishing step after a direction has been established with faster exploration.

Good fit for

• Polished key art, beauty, fashion, product, and cinematic stills.
• Refining texture, lighting, material, or background from an existing image.
• Higher-quality versions of concepts first explored in Grok Imagine Image.

Inputs and output settings

This table reflects the model routes and controls currently exposed by MachGen.

Using Grok Imagine Image Quality

1. Choose a supported generation mode in Playground.
2. Add the required prompt and source or reference assets.
3. Select output settings from the controls shown for that mode.
4. Generate, then inspect the returned asset before reusing the settings through the API.

Practical guidance

• Describe the subject, action or composition, environment, and visual direction in a clear order.
• For image editing, state what should change and what should remain unchanged.

What you can make

Text to image

Higher-fidelity stills from prompts when the draft look is locked and you want cleaner detail.

Image editing

Refine an existing frame with natural-language direction while preserving composition where you ask it to.

Prompting notes

• Bring a strong reference when editing - describe only the delta.
• Call out detail priorities (skin, fabric, product edges) for final frames.
• Avoid packing multiple unrelated scenes into one prompt.

How to get better Grok Imagine Image Quality results

• Bring a strong source image to an edit and describe only the intended delta.
• Name the detail priorities, such as skin texture, fabric weave, product edges, or reflected light.
• State which face, pose, silhouette, and composition details must remain unchanged.
• Avoid combining unrelated scenes or several large transformations in one edit.

Limits and availability

• MachGen admits only the modes and settings listed above for this catalog model.
• Source assets must finish uploading before a request can be submitted.
• Generated results can vary between requests, including when the same prompt and settings are reused.
• Grok Imagine Image Quality is pass-through. MachGen sends the request through its upstream provider integration and returns the generated asset.
