Seedream 4.5 FAQ
Everything you need to know about Seedream 4.5 - answered
Is Seedream 4.5 better than Midjourney?
In blind tests, reviewers found Seedream 4.5's lighting and anatomical accuracy (fingers, limbs) superior to many competitors. Its strength is consistency and spatial logic - if you need the same character across multiple images, Seedream 4.5 excels. For pure artistic randomness, other tools may offer more variety.
How much does Seedream 4.5 cost?
Seedream 4.5 costs 10 credits per image on our platform. Compared to premium "Pro" models that charge 15-20+ credits, Seedream 4.5 is approximately 4x more cost-efficient while delivering comparable or better quality. It's the best value for professional-grade AI image generation.
What's the difference between Seedream 4.0 and 4.5?
The jump is massive: Seedream 4.0 had "plasticky" lighting and poor character consistency. Seedream 4.5 introduces cinematic lighting (volumetric fog, realistic shadows), character identity preservation (change backgrounds without changing faces), better spatial logic (objects held correctly), and support for 14 reference images (up from 10).
What file formats does Seedream 4.5 support?
Seedream 4.5 accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF files up to 10MB each. The intelligent preprocessing adapts to any input quality, and outputs are delivered in high-resolution PNG or JPG format ready for professional use.
How long does Seedream 4.5 take to generate images?
Standard generations complete in 15-30 seconds. Complex compositions with multiple reference images or batch generation may take 30-60 seconds. Our distributed computing ensures consistent performance even during peak usage.
Can I use Seedream 4.5 images commercially?
Yes! Images created with Seedream 4.5 are yours to use commercially and personally. We maintain full copyright transparency - you own what you create. Check our terms of service for specific guidelines on attribution and commercial applications.
What is "character consistency" in Seedream 4.5?
Character consistency means you can take a generated character and ask Seedream 4.5 to "change the background to a snowy forest" without the model changing the character's face. In older models, this was nearly impossible without complex workarounds. It's the killer feature for storyboards, product shoots, and any multi-image project.
