Grok is an artificial intelligence assistant developed by xAI. It is built into the X platform. It not only answers questions, but also has powerful image generation capabilities. Its image generation capabilities were originally based on the FLUX.1 model and have been upgraded to the Aurora model to provide a higher quality and realistic image generation experience. Here are detailed usage guides to help you get started with Grok image generator quickly.
To use the Grok image generator, you need:
X Account : Grok is integrated on the X platform and must have an X account.
Access permissions :
Free Users: From December 2024, Grok is open to all X users for free, generating up to 10 pictures every 2 hours.
X Premium/Premium+ Users: Subscription fees are $8/month or $16/month respectively, with higher usage limits (such as unlimited generation) and priority experience new features.
Device : Supports desktop (X website) and mobile (X application, which needs to be updated to the latest version, such as iOS 10.56 or higher).
Desktop :
Log in to the X website (x.com).
Find the "Grok" option in the menu on the left and click to enter.
Mobile :
Open the X app and make sure it has been updated to the latest version.
Find the "Grok" button (which may appear as a chat icon) in the sidebar or in the home page timeline.

Grok's image generation process is simple and intuitive:
Enter the Grok interface :
After clicking "Grok", enter the chat window.
Enter the prompt word (Prompt) :
Describe the image you want to generate in the text box, the more specific the better. For example, “generate a cyberpunk-style city night view with neon lights and tall buildings.”
Chinese prompts are supported, but English may be more accurate (such as "A cyberpunk cityscape at night with neon lights and skyscrapers").
Submit a request :
Click the "Send" icon (usually in the shape of a paper aircraft), and Grok will generate images based on the Aurora model.
View the results :
After a few seconds, Grok returns 4 images to choose from (the quantity may vary by subscription level).
Adjust or save :
If you are not satisfied, you can continue to enter the adjustment request (such as "Add more neon lights").
Click the "Share" or "Three Dots" icon below the picture to download or publish directly to X.
"Draw Me" function :
Type "Grok, draw me!" and Grok will generate a personalized portrait based on your X profile.
You can try it by clicking "Create your version with Grok" under someone else's "Draw Me" post.
Prompt word optimization :
Specify styles (such as “realistic” and “cartoon”), colors, compositions (such as “close-up” and “wide angles”) and lights (such as “soft morning light”).
Example: "Generate a picture of a golden retriever wearing a green sweater on a beach skateboard with sunset in the background".
Long press to edit :
Press and hold the prompt word to edit the submitted description, and hold the generated image to select text or feedback.
limit :
Images of nude or excessively violent cannot be generated, but there are fewer restrictions on celebrities, politicians and copyright roles (such as "Trump Wearing Sunglasses" can be generated).
Usage limit :
Free user: Generate 10 times every 2 hours.
Premium+ User: No obvious upper limit.
Network and Gas Fee : No additional blockchain fee is required, and the generation is based entirely on the X platform.
Ethics and Law :
Avoid generating misleading or infringing content (such as in-depth forgery) to avoid violating policy X or local regulations.
Quality differences :
Aurora models are good at realistic images, but hand details or text may still be imperfect.
Example 1: Basic Generation
Enter : "Generate a picture of a cat sitting on the windowsill with the autumn city in the background."
Results : Grok generates 4 pictures showing cats at different angles, with orange leaves and city skyline outside the window.
Subsequent adjustment : "Let the cat become an orange cat, add raindrops to the window." Grok regenerates pictures that are more consistent with the description.
Example 2: Creative Generation
Enter : "Generate a picture of a cyberpunk-style astronaut standing on Mars with red dunes and spacecraft in the background."
Results : 4 images of astronauts with neon tones are returned, with rich details on the Martian landscape.
Example 3: Draw Me
Enter : "Grok, draw me!"
Results : Generate a cartoon or realistic personal portrait based on your X avatar and profile.
