What is Seedream 4.5?
Seedream 4.5 is ByteDance's flagship image generation model, built for photorealism and precise editing. It handles both text-to-image creation and image-to-image editing, so you can conjure a brand-new scene from a written prompt or upload an existing photo and reshape it without losing the details that matter.
Where Seedream 4.5 stands out is fidelity. The model renders convincing skin texture, realistic lighting and material surfacesβglass, fabric, metalβthat hold up at full resolution. Choose Basic quality for fast 2K results, or switch to High quality for 4K output sharp enough for print, ad creative, and large-format display.
With eight aspect ratios spanning square 1:1, portrait 9:16 and 3:4, landscape 16:9 and 4:3, plus cinematic 21:9 and the photographic 2:3 and 3:2, Seedream 4.5 fits whatever canvas your project needs. Each generation costs 15 credits, with no watermark on the output.
