Why Choose Seedream 4.5
Seedream 4.5 represents the evolution from 'random generation' to 'controllable productivity', solving the last-mile problems preventing AI from commercial deployment.
Unified Architecture
No more jumping between tools. Seedream 4.5 integrates text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, outpainting, and multi-image fusion in one engine. Creation and refinement happen in the same pixel space.
Breakthrough Text Rendering
Industry-leading typography capabilities. Seedream 4.5 renders complex Chinese characters and English text with design-aware styling. Generate posters with perfect layout hierarchy, no manual typesetting needed.
Multi-Reference Consistency
Upload up to 14 reference images to lock character identity or style. Seedream 4.5 maintains facial features, brand elements, and visual consistency across unlimited variations - perfect for campaigns and storytelling.
Native 4K Resolution
Generate 4096x4096 pixel images directly without upscalers. Every detail from eyelashes to fabric textures is precisely calculated. Print-ready quality for billboards, packaging, and commercial photography.
Semantic-Level Editing
Edit with natural language commands. Change 'silver metal dress to transparent water material' and Seedream 4.5 recalculates light refraction and reflections while preserving pose and atmosphere. It understands physics and lighting.
Cinematic Quality
Trained for commercial aesthetics with film-grade color grading, high contrast, and rigorous lighting logic. Every image feels like a key visual from an advertising campaign, not an AI experiment.

Seedream 4.5 FAQ
Common questions about the unified visual production engine
Traditional AI tools separate generation and editing - you generate in Midjourney, then edit in Photoshop, losing visual coherence. Seedream 4.5 integrates text-to-image, inpainting, outpainting, and multi-image fusion in one engine. When you edit 'change dress to water material', it recalculates physics and lighting in the same pixel space, maintaining perfect visual logic.
Seedream 4.5 has native Chinese language support - a huge advantage for Asian markets. It renders complex hanzi characters with correct stroke order and can mix Chinese and English in the same design with appropriate font styling. This is critical for bilingual marketing materials and localized campaigns.
Yes, up to 14 images. More references mean stronger feature extraction. Upload your brand mascot from multiple angles, and Seedream 4.5 'memorizes' facial structure, clothing details, and style. This enables unlimited consistent variations - essential for serialized comics, brand campaigns, and character-driven marketing.
Upscaling adds artificial sharpness but can't create true detail. Seedream 4.5's native 4096x4096 generation calculates every eyelash, fabric thread, and skin pore during creation. The result is print-ready quality for billboards and packaging without the 'oil painting' artifacts common in upscaled images.
API access costs approximately $0.04 USD per 4K image through aggregator platforms. For an e-commerce store needing 500 product scene variations monthly, that's only $20 - compared to $5000+ for traditional photoshoots. The ROI is transformative for high-SKU businesses.
Seedream 4.5 is design-first: it understands visual hierarchy, poster layouts, and brand aesthetics. Nano Banana Pro is knowledge-first: it excels at factual accuracy and photorealism. For marketing posters and e-commerce, choose Seedream 4.5. For scientific diagrams and technical accuracy, choose Nano Banana Pro.
Absolutely. Use Inpainting mode to select areas and describe changes: 'remove background people' or 'add sunglasses'. Seedream 4.5 understands context and automatically adjusts lighting, shadows, and reflections to make edits look natural. It's like having a professional retoucher who understands physics.
No limit. Seedream 4.5's unified architecture means you can iteratively refine: change background, adjust lighting, swap materials, add text - all while maintaining visual coherence. This is the core advantage over 'generate-only' models that force you to start over for each change.
