Seedream v4.5 Edit on Pixio is ByteDance's image-editing model built on Seedream v4.5: edit existing images with natural-language prompts while preserving coherence and detail. Use it when you have a source image and want to change content, style, or composition with Seedream quality.
Use this when
- You have a source image and want to edit it with a text prompt (change object, style, background, or mood).
- You want ByteDance Seedream quality for edits with good coherence and detail preservation.
- You need in-context edits (e.g. "add a hat", "change to sunset", "make it look like oil painting").
- You prefer Seedream over other edit models and want the v4.5 backbone.
- You are iterating on an existing asset rather than generating from scratch.

Prompt structure
[What to change] + [Style/mood if relevant]. Be explicit (e.g. "replace the sky with a sunset", "add snow", "make the style watercolor"). The image defines the starting content; the prompt defines the edit.
Example prompts
"Change the background to a rainy city street at night with neon signs. Keep the same person and pose. Cinematic, moody."
"Add a vintage film grain and warm color grading. Same composition and subjects. Nostalgic, 35mm look."
"Replace the sky with dramatic storm clouds and lightning. Keep the landscape and foreground unchanged. Epic, dramatic."
