Question 1

What is Seedream?

Accepted Answer

Seedream is the AI image generation model behind AI Seedance. It converts text prompts and reference images into high-resolution visuals — photorealistic, illustrated, or stylized — with industry-leading prompt fidelity and composition accuracy. Multiple versions are available: Seedream 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0.

Question 2

What resolution can Seedream generate?

Accepted Answer

Seedream 4.5 outputs images at up to 2K resolution. Seedream 5.0 supports up to 4K resolution. All outputs are watermark-free and ready for professional use.

Question 3

What is the difference between text-to-image and image-to-image?

Accepted Answer

Text-to-image generates a new image entirely from a text description. Image-to-image takes an existing image as a reference and transforms it — changing style, lighting, background, or composition while preserving elements from the original. Both modes are available in Seedream.

Question 4

How many credits does image generation cost?

Accepted Answer

Image generation costs 2 credits per image for standard resolution. Higher resolutions and certain model versions may use more credits. See the pricing page for a full breakdown.
