HD master quality for 20 credits

Seedream 4.0 delivers the line's signature realism — natural lighting, believable materials, clean detail — at the same credit cost as the entry fusion models. For everyday hero images and content work, it is the strongest quality-per-credit in the lineup.

Same image shown at multiple display sizes

2K and 4K at one flat price

Both resolution tiers cost the same, so you can default to the size your destination needs without budgeting tricks. Detail-critical work gets 4K; fast web work gets 2K — same 20 credits either way.

Image fusion built in

Combine reference images with prompts to restyle, recompose, or merge — the fusion workflow the Seedream family shares, at the 4.0 price point.

Faithful prompt following

Describe the scene, lighting, and mood and 4.0 follows it dependably — fewer rerolls, more usable firsts. That reliability is why it remains a daily driver even with newer flagships above it.
