Seedream 4.5 [image-to-image]

ByteDance's Seedream 4.5 transforms existing images through natural language instructions at $0.04 per edit, processing up to 10 reference images simultaneously for complex multi-source compositions. Trading simple single-image workflows for sophisticated context-aware editing, this unified architecture references multiple sources, copies specific elements between images, and maintains spatial relationships without manual masking. Built for e-commerce teams assembling product composites, designers prototyping layout variations, and marketing workflows requiring consistent brand element integration across visuals.

Built for: Multi-image product composites | Layout prototyping with text overlays | Brand asset integration workflows


Natural Language Editing Without Layers

Seedream 4.5 consolidates image generation and editing into a single architecture that interprets spatial references directly from your prompt. Instead of requiring layer masks or selection tools, you describe edits using natural language - "replace the product in Figure 1 with that in Figure 2" or "copy the text from Figure 3 to the top with clear contrast."

What this means for you:

  • Multi-source composition: Reference up to 10 images per edit, enabling complex workflows like product swaps, text overlay copying, and element positioning across multiple source files
  • Context-aware transformations: The model maintains depth, perspective, and lighting consistency when integrating elements from different sources - no manual blending required
  • Resolution flexibility: Output up to 4 megapixels (2048x2048 maximum) with configurable dimensions between 1920px and 4096px on either axis
  • Batch generation control: Run 1-6 separate generations per request, with optional multi-image output (up to 6 images per generation) for exploring variations

Performance That Scales

Seedream 4.5 processes edits in approximately 60 seconds on fal infrastructure, with pricing structured for production workflows requiring multiple reference images.

How It Stacks Up

Bytedance Seedream v4 Edit - Seedream 4.5 expands multi-image input capacity from v4's baseline while maintaining the unified editing architecture. Both versions handle natural language spatial instructions, with v4.5 prioritizing higher reference image limits for complex composition workflows.

Bytedance Seededit v3 - Seedream 4.5 consolidates generation and editing into a single model architecture, trading v3's specialized editing focus for broader capability coverage. Seededit v3 remains purpose-built for pure image-to-image transformation workflows without generation requirements.

NAFNet-deblur - Seedream 4.5 handles multi-image composition and semantic editing through natural language, making it ideal for layout assembly and element integration. NAFNet-deblur specializes in single-image restoration tasks like blur removal and artifact correction where semantic understanding isn't required.
