Seedream 4.5 on Elyum goes up to 4K, so campaign frames, product shots, and large stills do not have to start as a soft low-res crop.
Text to image and image editing sit on the same model. Prompt a new still or attach a photo and change it without hopping to a second tool.
Pick from five aspect ratios in the image studio so the first take already matches the feed, story, or banner you are filling.
Kept takes download at full quality with no watermark. Commercial use is included.
