Generate images from a text description using SeeDream 4.5.

⚠️ CLAUDE.AI USERS: This tool WILL TIMEOUT on Claude.ai (takes 30-60 seconds). Use "seedream_submit" instead with mode="text" for Claude.ai compatibility.

This is the primary tool for creating images from scratch. Default: Generates 4 images per prompt using streaming for fast response.

Args:

• prompt (string, required): Detailed description of the image to generate

• size (string): '2K' (default), '4K', '4K-9:16' (2304x4096 high-res vertical), or aspect ratios: '1:1', '4:3', '3:4', '16:9', '9:16', '3:2', '2:3', '21:9'

• watermark (boolean): Add 'AI generated' watermark (default: false)

• download (boolean): Save to local directory (default: true)

• download_dir (string): Local save directory (default: ./generated_images)

• response_format ('markdown' | 'json'): Output format

Returns: Generated image URL(s), local file path(s) if downloaded, and performance timing.

Prompt Best Practices (per official docs):

• Structure: Subject + Action + Environment

• For aesthetics add: Style, Color, Lighting, Composition

• For text in images: use double quotes - 'poster with title "Hello World"'

• Specify application context: "Design a logo for...", "Create a poster for..."

• Keep under 600 English words; concise is better than verbose

Examples:

• "A girl in a lavish dress walking under a parasol along a tree-lined path, in the style of a Monet oil painting"

• "Design a logo for a gaming company. The logo features a dog playing with a game controller. The company name 'PITBULL' is written on it."

• "Vibrant close-up editorial portrait, model with piercing gaze, wearing a sculptural hat, rich color blocking, Vogue magazine aesthetic"

• "A cluttered office desk with an open laptop showing green code, a mug with the word 'Developer' on it, sunlight from the right"

Tips:

• Be specific: "golden retriever puppy" > "dog"

• Use natural language, not keyword lists

• Include style keywords: "oil painting style", "anime art", "photorealistic"

• Specify composition: "close-up portrait", "bird's eye view", "cinematic wide shot"

Edit an existing image based on text instructions using SeeDream 4.5.

⚠️ CLAUDE.AI USERS: This tool WILL TIMEOUT on Claude.ai (takes 30-60 seconds). Use "seedream_submit" instead with mode="multi" for Claude.ai compatibility.

Use this tool to blend 2-14 reference images together. Perfect for:

• Virtual try-on: Dress person from image 1 in clothes from image 2

• Face/Subject swap: Put face/subject from image 1 onto body/scene in image 2

• Style transfer: Apply style of image 2 to content of image 1

• Product visualization: Put product from image 1 into scene from image 2

• Character consistency: Combine character traits from multiple references

Args:

• prompt (string, required): Blending instruction referencing images by number

• images (string[], required): Array of 2-14 image URLs or local paths

• size (string): Output size (default: '2K')

• strength (number): Reference strength 0-1 (default: 0.7)

• watermark (boolean): Add watermark (default: false)

• download (boolean): Save locally (default: true)

• download_dir (string): Local save directory

Returns: Blended image URL, local path if downloaded, and performance timing.

Prompt Structure (per official docs):

• Reference Target: Clearly specify what to extract from each reference image

• Scene Description: Describe the output scene layout and composition

• Always reference images by number: "image 1", "image 2", etc.

Common Use Cases:

• Virtual try-on: "Dress the character in Image 1 with the outfit from Image 2"

• Subject replacement: "Replace the subject in Image 1 with the subject from Image 2"

• Style transfer: "Apply the style of Image 2 to Image 1"

• Product placement: "Place the product from Image 1 on the table in Image 2"

Examples:

• "Replace the clothing in image 1 with the outfit from image 2"

• "Put the face from image 1 onto the body in image 2, maintaining natural lighting"

• "Apply the linear minimalist style of image 2 to design icons based on image 1"

• "Generate four tops in different materials, based on the clothing style worn by the girl in the reference images"

Tips:

• Be specific about which elements to take from each image

• For best results, use similar aspect ratios for inputs

• Higher strength preserves more details from reference images

• Using 10+ reference images significantly impacts generation speed

Generate multiple variations of an image concept using SeeDream 4.5.

⚠️ CLAUDE.AI USERS: This tool WILL TIMEOUT on Claude.ai (takes 30-90 seconds). Use "seedream_submit" instead for Claude.ai compatibility.

Use this tool to create 2-15 coherent variations based on a prompt. Great for:

• A/B testing: Generate multiple options to compare

• Storyboards: Create a series of related images

• Product variations: Same product in different colors/styles

• Exploration: See different interpretations of your concept

• Social media: Multiple posts from one concept

Args:

• prompt (string, required): Base concept for generating variations. Include batch keywords like "a series", "a set", "Generate X images" for best results.

• count (number): Number of variations to generate (2-15, default: 4)

• base_image (string, optional): Reference image to create variations from

• size (string): Output size (default: '2K')

• watermark (boolean): Add watermark (default: false)

• download (boolean): Save locally (default: true)

• download_dir (string): Local save directory

Returns: Array of variation image URLs, local paths if downloaded, and performance timing.

Prompt Best Practices (per official docs):

• Include batch keywords: "a series of", "a set of", "Generate X images"

• Describe variations explicitly: "4 seasonal versions", "different color schemes"

• For storyboards: describe each panel's content in sequence

• Keep prompts under 600 English words for best results

Examples:

• "Generate a series of 4 seasonal variations of a cozy coffee shop interior"

• "Create a set of 6 color variations of this minimalist logo design"

• "Generate 4 different poses of this anime character in action"

• "Create a 4-panel storyboard: morning coffee, commute, work, evening relaxation"

Tips:

• The model maintains consistency across variations automatically

• Use count=4 for quick comparisons, higher for more options

• Adding a base_image helps maintain visual consistency

• Note: base_image cannot be combined with batch generation (API limitation)
