Frequently Asked Questions
Compare Seedream 4's strengths, ideal use cases, supported controls, and tradeoffs before you generate.
What is Seedream 4 best at?
Seedream 4 combines text-to-image creation and reference-based editing in a flexible 1Kâ4K workflow. It is strongest at detailed, aesthetically polished scenes, precise natural-language changes, style exploration, and compositions guided by multiple visual sources.
Which projects suit Seedream 4?
It works well for e-commerce retouching, advertising concepts, architectural visualization, film pre-production, illustrated explainers, and multi-image compositions. Choose it when you want one model for both quick drafts and high-resolution final variations.
What inputs and output settings are supported?
The workspace accepts up to 10 reference images, offers 1K, 2K, and 4K output, and supports eight common ratios from portrait and square to 21:9. Use clean references with compatible perspectives when identity, pose, product shape, or layout must remain stable.
Seedream 4 or Seedream 4.5âwhich should I use?
Seedream 4 is the more flexible choice when you need 1K, 2K, and 4K options in the same workflow. Seedream 4.5 is better positioned for quality-led 2K/4K delivery, while Nano Banana 2 offers longer prompts, more references, and additional output-format controls.
How should I prompt Seedream 4?
Describe the intended scene before the style: subject, action, composition, camera angle, and spatial relationships. Then add lighting, color, material, and finish. For edits, state both the requested change and the elements that must stay untouched.
When should I choose another model?
Choose Seedream 4.5 when every deliverable will be 2K or 4K and final polish matters most, Flux Kontext Pro for a tightly scoped edit to one source image, or Midjourney for open-ended, style-first concept discovery.
