Seedream 4.5 — AI Image Generator
Photorealism. The most convincingly photographic model here for people and everyday scenes.
Seedream 4.5 is made by ByteDance. The most convincingly photographic model here for people and everyday scenes. Skin, hair and fabric hold up under close inspection.
Where it struggles: That realism is exactly why it deserves care — photorealistic images of people that never existed carry obvious potential for misuse.
Reach for it when the job is photorealism. For anything else, the model directory has a comparison of the alternatives — picking by job rather than by version number is most of what separates a good result from an expensive one.

Prompting Seedream 4.5
- Describe the camera, not the picture. Lens, aperture and lighting setup produce more realistic results here than aesthetic adjectives.
- Put the subject in the first few words — every model here weights the start of a prompt most heavily.
- Describe the lighting explicitly. It is the change that most reliably moves output towards the photographic.
- Generate at the aspect ratio you need rather than cropping afterwards, which costs you pixels and composition.
