X (formerly Twitter) has enhanced its Grok AI chatbot with a new image editing feature. Discovered on February 1, 2025, this update significantly expands Grok’s image manipulation capabilities.
Users can now modify Grok-generated images by tapping an “Edit” button. This prompts users to input specific editing instructions. While not yet as advanced as OpenAI’s in-painting tools, the feature provides a functional and user-friendly way to refine visuals. The editing process is powered by the Aurora model, which also drives Grok’s image generation, producing photorealistic and detailed images from user prompts.
The image editing feature is accessible directly within the Grok interface on X after an image is generated. While the rollout appears global, access to certain advanced features may be limited to specific subscription tiers or regions. This enhancement reinforces X’s ongoing development into a versatile platform for AI-driven creativity and user interaction.
