Core Feature 1: Unified Generation & Editing Workflow

One of the most significant Seedream 4.0 features is its unified architecture. Unlike other tools that force you to switch between a generator and an editor, Seedream 4.0 integrates both into a single, seamless model. This means you can create a photorealistic scene and then, without changing tools, type "add a vintage car on the street" or "change the season to autumn." The AI understands your request in context, applying precise changes while preserving the rest of the image's integrity. This fluid, conversational process is a game-changer for rapid iteration.

Core Feature 2: Ultra-Fast, High-Resolution Generation

Speed is a standout feature of Seedream 4.0. The model's advanced architecture can generate stunningly detailed 2K (2048x2048) images in approximately 1.8 seconds. For projects requiring maximum detail, it also supports output up to a crisp 4K resolution. This incredible performance allows creators to brainstorm, prototype, and produce final assets at a pace that was previously unimaginable. Try it now in the Seedream 4 editor.

Core Feature 3: Intuitive Natural Language Editing (SeedEdit)

Perhaps the most talked-about Seedream 4.0 feature is its powerful editing capability, known as SeedEdit. This allows for an astonishing range of modifications using simple, natural language commands:

Object Manipulation: Add, remove, or replace any element in your image.
Style Transformation: Instantly change the entire aesthetic with commands like "Cartoonize," "3D Model," or "Oil Painting Style".
Attribute Adjustments: Fine-tune details like color, lighting, and texture with simple text prompts.

Core Feature 4: Flawless Character and Style Consistency

For commercial and narrative projects, consistency is key. This is another area where Seedream 4.0's features excel. The model can create a character and then "remember" their facial features across countless scenes, poses, and even art styles—from photorealistic to anime. This makes it the ideal tool for creating branded content, marketing campaigns with recurring mascots, storyboards, and comic book series.

Core Feature 5: Advanced Multimodal Inputs

The creative features of Seedream 4.0 go far beyond a single text prompt. The platform supports a multi-faceted approach to creation:

Multi-Reference Images: Upload up to six images to guide the AI. Use one for character identity, another for artistic style, and a third for composition.
Sketch to Reality: Upload a rough sketch or wireframe and watch the AI transform it into a fully rendered, photorealistic image while respecting your original layout and intent.
Batch Generation: Need to explore multiple options quickly? Generate up to nine consistent images from a single prompt, perfect for creating sequential art or A/B testing ad creatives.

These powerful Seedream 4.0 features combine to create a tool that is not just an image generator, but a complete, end-to-end creative partner. If you’re evaluating tools, compare Seedream with our other offerings on the homepage, or jump straight into hands‑on creation with Seedream 4.
