High-fidelity image generation and editing

Seedream models in Recraft Studio support two core workflows: text-to-image generation and natural language image editing. Both Seedream V4 and V4.5 deliver vivid color, fine detail, and strong prompt fidelity. For editing, you can modify specific elements (clothing, background, lighting, objects) while preserving overall structure and style.

Seedream V4.5 adds structured, reference-driven generation for even higher fidelity. Both models are accessible in Recraft Studio's prompt panel under the Model selector.
