Grok Image — An image from text, or your photo edited with one sentence.
Grok Image is Deepnia’s name for Grok Imagine, the image model from xAI, the company behind the Grok assistant. It creates an image from text in one of 5 aspect ratios (1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16), or edits a photo you add by following a plain-language instruction; the edited image keeps your photo’s aspect ratio.

What Grok Image does best
Edit a photo with one sentence
Add a photo and describe the change in plain language: a new backdrop, another season, different light, an object added or removed. xAI documents this instruction-based editing for Grok Imagine.
Your photo’s framing is kept
When you edit, the result automatically keeps the original photo’s aspect ratio, whether it is vertical, square or horizontal: nothing to set.
Edit in several rounds
xAI describes step-by-step editing: you start again from the image you got to ask for the next change. On Deepnia, add the generated image as a reference from your library, then write the new instruction.
Detailed prompts
Up to 5,000 characters to spell out the subject, composition, light and style, whether you create an image or edit a photo.

Prompt ideas to try
Copy a prompt, open the tool and adapt it to your project.
Comic book cover
- Text only
- 2:3
A superhero comic book cover: a young heroine in an orange and midnight-blue suit glides above a big city at dusk, her cape snapping in the wind, neon signs lighting up below. Bold inked lines, saturated colors, 1980s comic halftone texture. No text or title.
New backdrop for a product photo
- 1 photo: your product
- Photo’s own ratio
From your photo, replace the background with a white marble counter in a bright kitchen, with a blurred green plant behind. Keep the product exactly the same: shape, colors, label and reflections. Add a soft, natural shadow under the product.
Travel postcard
- Text only
- 3:2
Travel photo of a small fishing harbor at sunrise: colorful boats on calm water, white houses with blue shutters on the hillside, light mist, golden reflections. Travel photography style, wide angle, natural colors.
Birthday party visual
- Text only
- 1:1
Square visual announcing a rooftop birthday party: string lights, gold and navy balloons, a table of colorful cocktails, the city lit up behind. Festive, elegant mood, with empty space at the top to add text later; no text in the image.
Turn a street photo into winter
- 1 photo: your scene
- Photo’s own ratio
From your photo, turn the scene into a winter day: fresh snow on the roofs and sidewalks, falling snowflakes, soft cold light. Keep the composition, the buildings and the people exactly where they are.
Photo for a fitness coach
- Text only
- 9:16
Realistic photo of a fitness coach cheering on a group during an outdoor session at sunrise in a city park: golden light, smiles, upbeat energy. Advertising photo style, shallow depth of field, vertical framing for a story.
Tips for better results
- When editing, describe only the change you want, then what must stay the same: face, product, framing or light.
- One change at a time gives cleaner edits: start the next step from the image you got, added as a reference from your library.
- Describe the scene in a simple order: subject, action, setting, light, style, then framing.
- Pick the aspect ratio for where the image will go: 9:16 for a story, 1:1 for a post, 16:9 for a banner or a thumbnail.
- If an instruction is ignored, rephrase it more simply and concretely rather than adding more detail.
Good to know
- When editing, the result keeps your photo’s aspect ratio: crop the photo before adding it if you want a different one.
- Each generation gives 1 image: click “Regenerate” to get another version of the same request.
- To keep a product identical across several visuals, start from the same photo each time and describe only the new setting.
- Use photos you have the rights to: xAI applies its own moderation and may refuse some requests.
