It is a versatile choice for high-resolution editorial imagery, product concepts, illustrations, and layouts that benefit from multiple aspect-ratio options. ### Can Seedream 4.0 edit an image? The underlying workflow accepts image input. On this page, add a source image and describe the intended change or variation. ### Which resolutions does Made expose? Made’s current configuration offers 1K, 2K, and 4K resolution settings. ### Can it generate readable text? Our benchmark produced the requested short headline correctly, but dense copy and small decorative text still need review. ### Does Seedream preserve a reference exactly? No. A reference guides the result, but the model may reinterpret fine details, so use a specialized editor when exact preservation is essential. ### When should I choose Flux Kontext instead? Choose Flux Kontext when the main job is a targeted edit to an existing image and unchanged regions need stronger preservation. --- Markdown version of https://www.made.app/models/seedream-4-0.
