How to get the best result
Grok Imagine Image 2.0, xAI's newest image model: 2K photoreal images (people, products, scenes) with legible short text, and edits from a reference image that keep the rest of the picture. Pick instead: grok-imagine-image for 2¢ drafts; nano-banana-2.1 for designs and in-image text; flux-1-schnell for 1¢ exploration.
Prompting
- Describe the subject, composition, lighting, style and camera angle in plain sentences.
- For an edit, pass referenceImageUrl and describe only the change.
Settings on Varosity
- Always 2K at medium quality; 8¢ an image, 9¢ as an edit with referenceImageUrl.
- aspectRatio 1:1, 16:9 or 9:16; an edit follows the reference image's shape.
Avoid
- Other shapes such as 4:5 or 21:9: REST /v1/images and MCP generate_image refuse them before anything is charged.
Example prompt
A ceramic coffee mug on a sunlit kitchen counter, steam rising, soft morning light from a window, shallow depth of field, product photo.
