What will a month of Grok Image 2.0 cost?
Images × unit price is your bill. There are no resolution tiers to split out:
| Images per month | Text-to-image | Image-to-image |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | $5.2 | $6.5 |
| 1,000 | $52 | $65 |
| 10,000 | $520 | $650 |
A team producing 1,000 2K social graphics a month spends $52. Move half of them to image-to-image recolors and background swaps, and the bill is $58.5.
How do you get the most out of the flat price?
- Ship at 2K. 1K and 2K cost the same, so set
resolution: 2kfor finals and skip a second paid upscale pass. - Iterate on
quality: low. Same price, faster turnaround. Lock the composition, then switch back to medium. - Use wide formats at no extra charge. 2:1, 19.5:9 and 20:9 cost the same as 1:1, which suits hero banners and campaign headers.
- Edit with image-to-image. Pass one public JPG, PNG or WebP URL in
input.image; the output keeps the reference framing. - Submit each task once. Poll with the
taskIdor receive the result oncallback.url. Every repeated POST creates and bills a new task.
