Introducing ByteDance Seedream V4 Edit: State-of-the-Art Image Editing Now on WaveSpeedAI

The landscape of AI-powered image editing has just shifted. ByteDance’s Seedream V4 Edit brings enterprise-grade precision to image manipulation, delivering what many consider the most capable image-to-image model available today. Whether you’re swapping outfits on portrait shoots, testing product colorways for e-commerce, or reimagining interior finishes, this model handles complex edits while preserving the elements that matter—identity, lighting, and composition.

WaveSpeedAI is excited to offer Seedream V4 Edit through our inference platform, giving developers and creative teams instant access to ByteDance’s cutting-edge editing capabilities.

What is Seedream V4 Edit?

Seedream V4 Edit is a specialized image-to-image model built on ByteDance’s 12-billion parameter architecture. Unlike generic image generators, it’s designed specifically for precise modifications to existing images. The model excels at understanding what should change and what should remain untouched, making it ideal for production workflows where consistency matters.

Built on the same foundation as ByteDance’s acclaimed Seedream 4.0 generation model, the Edit variant focuses on controlled transformations: outfit swaps, material changes, background replacements, and interior finish updates. According to recent benchmarks, Seedream 4.0 has achieved the highest ELO score on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard for image generation, surpassing both Google’s Imagen 4 and Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image).

Key Features

High Fidelity Preservation Seedream V4 Edit maintains exceptional accuracy on the elements you want to keep—skin tones stay natural, fabric textures remain detailed, logos stay sharp, and fine edges don’t blur or artifact. This reliability is critical for commercial applications where brand consistency is non-negotiable.

Production-Ready Consistency Generate multiple variants rapidly while maintaining locked camera angles, consistent lighting, and brand color grading. Perfect for A/B testing campaigns or creating product shot variations without reshooting.

Structured Prompt System The model works best with clear, structured prompts following a pattern: action + object + target feature + constraints. This systematic approach scales beautifully for batch operations and team workflows.

Multi-Image Processing Process up to 10 images in a single request, dramatically accelerating workflows for catalog updates, campaign variants, or collection launches.

Native 4K Support Handle images up to 4096 × 4096 pixels, with optimized aspect ratio presets for common production formats from square social posts to ultrawide banners.

Natural Language Editing Describe your edits conversationally—“replace the wooden floor with white marble tiles” or “change the model’s outfit to a navy blazer”—and the model interprets your intent accurately.

Real-World Use Cases

Portrait and Influencer Workflows

Fashion and beauty teams can transform a single shoot into dozens of variations. Swap outfits without booking additional model time. Test makeup looks digitally before committing to production. Create branded key visual series with consistent color grading across an entire campaign.

E-Commerce and Product Teams

Seedream V4 Edit shines for product photography at scale. Generate colorway variations from a single hero shot. Swap materials—show the same jacket in leather, denim, and canvas. Update packaging designs across your entire catalog without reshooting. The model’s ability to maintain product accuracy while changing specific attributes makes it invaluable for catalog management.

Interior Design and Architecture

Visualize finish options for clients without expensive renderings. Replace wall treatments, flooring materials, and upholstery fabrics while preserving lighting and spatial relationships. The lighting-aware editing means swapped materials respond naturally to the scene’s existing illumination.

Marketing and Growth Teams

Run faster A/B tests with consistent creative variables. Generate campaign variants with different color schemes while maintaining identical composition. Create localized versions of global campaigns with culturally appropriate styling changes.
