Grok Imagine is xAI's creative AI suite built on Grok, covering image and video generation. Through RunAPI, all Grok Imagine endpoints share a single API key.
A single RunAPI API key unlocks the whole model catalog across all providers. No separate accounts to create, no API keys to rotate per integration, and no credential management overhead. Add a new model to your app by changing one parameter.
Per-call pricing in USD, billed monthly into a single invoice. No subscription tiers, no minimum spend, and failed generations are never charged. The pricing page and check_pricing API show exact costs before you commit to a model.
Typed schemas, parameter constraints, and setup notes are packaged in the model skill so your implementation starts from the right contract. The skill loads into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and VS Code — your agent knows the correct request shape before you write a line of code.
Text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, and image-to-video — covering still images, prompt-guided image edits, and motion generation.
Yes — text-to-video generates synchronized native audio including dialogue with lip-sync.
The edit_image endpoint handles image-to-image tasks — it accepts one source image for prompt-guided style transfer and composition editing.
Realistic, artistic, and anime styles across 5 aspect ratios. Style is controlled via the prompt and style parameter.
6 to 15 seconds per generation (up to 30 seconds on the fast variant) for both text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints.
Pick the cheapest variant that meets your quality bar. Most teams start on the fast variant and graduate to pro for production.
