Seedream 4.5 for clean 2K packshots and beauty shots

Seedream 4.5 is ByteDance’s 2K image model. On Blurbly it generates from text or a reference image, and every image comes out at 2K, because requests below about 3.7 megapixels are scaled up. It shares the lowest starting price in the Seedream family and handles glass, liquid and skin convincingly.

What 2K at a flat price means in practice

Seedream 4.5 charges the same per image whatever size you pick, and it does not go below 2K: ask for 1536×1024 and the request is scaled up to clear the 3.7-megapixel floor. In our skincare set we used 2048×2048 for square images and 1568×2352 for 2:3 portrait. Square suits marketplace galleries; the tall portrait suits Pinterest and most product pages.

That makes 4.5 a sensible default for packshots and simple scenes without much text: a bottle on a plinth, a texture swipe, a splash, a flat lay of a product range. It is not the model for copy beyond a short label (GPT Image 2 is), for placing your exact real packaging into new scenes (Nano Banana Pro holds references more strictly), or for very wide banners.

Short labels come out right, the layout moves

Seedream 4.5 spelled a brand name plus one product line correctly in every image of our skincare set, both from text and when the hero packshot was used as a reference. What it did not keep was the layout. A label set on two lines in the packshot became three lines in the splash and ingredient shots, and the type size changed. In the first splash attempt it also added a square logo mark and a gold divider line, and enlarged the label.

Spelling the label out in the prompt (“only the word … no logo mark, no divider line and no added text”) kept it plain on the second try. For a real product, use a photo of your actual bottle as the reference, compare the label across every image of the set, and regenerate any that reflow. We did not test small print such as ingredient lists; take those from a real photo of the pack.

Skin, hands and texture

Left alone, Seedream leans towards airbrushed skin. Asking for real texture (“visible pores, light freckles and fine lines at the eyes”) and stating an adult age range gave our model shot skin that looks photographed. Hands were where it went wrong: squeezing a dropper onto fingertips produced a drop on the cheek and an awkward grip. Two fingertips pressing serum into the cheekbone, with the closed bottle in the other hand, worked.

Texture claims need checking. We asked for a translucent, pale apricot gel cream and got a glossy, semi-opaque cream: attractive, but not a gel. If transparency is a selling point, describe what you would see through it (“clear enough to see the glass beneath”) and compare the result with your real formula. We did not run that variant, so treat it as a starting point.

A beauty launch set, in order

Our six-image set followed an order worth copying. Generate the hero packshot from text first, naming the volume, glass finish, tint, closure and the label words in quotes. Use it as the reference for the shots where that bottle appears in a new scene, a water splash and an ingredient story, and repeat the label text in each prompt. Generate the texture swipe and the product family flat lay from text, since they do not need the exact bottle. Do the model shot last, with the simplest action that shows the product in use.

Three of the six needed more than one attempt: the packshot and the splash took two tries each and the model shot three. The failures section of our tested skincare prompt guide, linked further down this page, gives the wording that fixed each one.

How to prompt Seedream 4.5 for ads

  1. Specify the shadow

    “Soft contact shadow, no reflection” or “mirror reflection on glossy white” changes the whole look.

  2. Ask for realistic water

    “Realistic water only: no star-shaped glints, sparkles or lens flares” removed cartoon sparkles from our splash shot.

  3. Frame for crops

    “Fills about 60% of the frame height, centred” leaves room around the bottle for a banner or website crop.

Example 1
A faceted glass perfume bottle on a mirror-glossy white surface, clean reflection, white paper sweep background, soft studio light, 2048×2048.
Example 2
A stainless steel chef’s knife on a dark walnut board with sliced tomatoes, moody side light, kitchen editorial look.
Example 3
Restyle image 1: the same pair of wool socks on a cream knit blanket next to a mug of cocoa, winter morning light.

Seedream 4.5 compared

  1. Seedream 4.5 vs Seedream 5.0 Lite

    Same 2K output and a flat price per image, with 4.5 slightly cheaper. 5.0 Lite is the newer generation and the one we used to try room sets; 4.5 is the one we used for a beauty launch.

  2. Seedream 4.5 vs Nano Banana Pro

    Nano Banana Pro costs more but preserves your real product from references far better.

Seedream 4.5 questions

What sizes does Seedream 4.5 output?

It works at 2K. 2048×2048, 1536×1024 and 1024×1536 are offered, and anything below about 3.7 megapixels is scaled up, so landscape and portrait files come out at roughly 2352×1568 and 1568×2352.

Is Seedream 4.5 good for Amazon main images?

It can make a white-background packshot. Generated backgrounds in our tests of other models came back a few levels short of pure white, so check the file with our free Amazon main image checker before uploading.

Can I use Seedream 4.5 for lingerie, swimwear, CBD or vape products?

Yes, as product marketing. Blurbly allows lingerie and swimwear on adult models, CBD, supplements, vape hardware, knives and alcohol. It blocks nudity, sexual content, anyone who looks under 18, undressing edits and face swaps of real people. Ad platforms have their own rules on top of ours, so check the policy for your category before you run the ad.

Is Blurbly affiliated with ByteDance?

No. Blurbly is an independent studio for online sellers that runs Seedream through model providers. Seedream is a trademark of its owner.
