Selection guide

Use these decision points when choosing a model.

1
Test it for multi-image edits

Test it for multi-image edits — Seedream 4.5 is worth sampling when a brief combines several product, character, or style references. The 14-image capacity is the interface limit, not a recommended target.

2
Compare other versions when the controls or cost differ

Compare other versions when the controls or cost differ — If explicit 1K, 2K, and 4K selection matters, compare Seedream 4.0. If you want to assess basic 2K / high 3K settings at a lower fixed Kyeo price, add Seedream 5.0 Lite.

3
Run a controlled 2K-versus-4K test

Run a controlled 2K-versus-4K test — Keep the prompt and references fixed, then run `basic` and `high`. Compare detail, text, subject preservation, and usable dimensions. Both settings cost 7 credits, and the 4K label alone does not establish content quality.

Practical guidance based on public sources, current on-site limits, and representative tasks.

Quality

Seedream 4.5 / Quality — Keep the prompt and references fixed, then run `basic` and `high`. Compare detail, text, subject preservation, and usable dimensions. Both settings cost 7 credits, and the 4K label alone does not establish content quality.

Capabilities

Capabilities — ByteDance's official Seedream 4.5 material highlights multi-image editing, preservation of reference details, layout, and text rendering. The Kyeo workflow has its own concrete limits: prompts can contain up to 3,000 characters, 8 aspect ratios are available, and editing accepts up to 14 JPG, PNG, or WebP images at 10 MB each.

8 ratios and two output settings

8 ratios and two output settings — The workbench offers 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3, 3:2, and 21:9, with basic 2K or high 4K output. Each request currently costs 7 credits.

Prompt and reference limits

Prompt and reference limits — Prompts can contain up to 3,000 characters. Editing accepts up to 14 JPG, PNG, or WebP references at 10 MB each; text-to-image generation requires no image upload.

Use cases

Multi-reference composition and editing

Combine character, product, wardrobe, or style references, while stating what each image contributes and which elements must remain unchanged.

Posters and text-led visuals

Create a set of images around one theme for a social content series or campaign visual system.

Product and campaign variants

Change backgrounds, materials, or composition from an existing visual, with human checks for product appearance, trademarks, and required information.

Prompt tips

List what to preserve and what to change

For each reference, explain its role and identify the subject, pose, color, material, or background details that must remain or may change.

Provide display copy verbatim

For posters or product images, specify the exact copy, language, hierarchy, and placement.

Begin with the fewest references you need

14 images is only the editing limit. Start with the minimum set required by the brief, then remove conflicting images or constraints if subjects become confused.

Why choose it

One Kyeo entry covers text-only generation and reference-based editing.
ByteDance's official page explicitly demonstrates multi-image editing, reference preservation, layout, and text rendering.
The integration offers 8 aspect ratios plus 2K and 4K output settings.
Fixed 7-credit pricing makes request-count estimates straightforward.

What to know first

Keep fixed samples for long-lived workflows so composition, text, and style consistency can be rechecked after version updates.
Generate one representative sample with the chosen settings and confirm that it meets the goal before expanding the batch.
For extremely stylized artwork, compare models from different families.
Generated text, product details, trademarks, and legally sensitive content require human review.
