How many images can Grok generate per day?
Grok's per-day image generation capacity depends on your plan: Free ~5 images/day, SuperGrok Lite ~20 images/day, SuperGrok Heavy ~50 images/day. All tiers share the same midnight UTC reset. These figures are based on reported user experience — xAI has not published official tier limits.
Is there a limit to how many pictures I can upload to Grok?
