ByteDance's image model, on free daily credits
Seedream 4 from 3 credits per image · free daily credits work on it
The Seedream look
We do not have published images made with Seedream 4 itself. These two were made with Seedream 4.5, the paid-plan model in the same family, so you can see the family's style. Seedream 4 output will differ in detail.
A wide, cinematic scene with weather and depth.
Seedream 4.5 · 4–6 credits · needs a paid plan
Prompt: Two samurai facing off in a bamboo grove during falling snow, cinematic wide, cinematic warm-neutral color grade, soft directional key light, 35mm lens, shallow depth of field, natural skin tones, subtle film grain

How It Works
Seedream 4 is ByteDance's image model that handles both text-to-image generation and editing with reference images in one model. Seedream 4 costs 3 credits per image. Every Lovino account gets 3 free credits a day, which covers up to 1 image a day at the lowest price, with a watermark on free-plan output.
Describe the image or add references
Write a prompt, or upload one or more reference images to edit or combine.
Pick a shape
Choose an aspect ratio, from square to wide 21:9, then generate.
Compare and refine
Each image costs 3 credits. Change one element per attempt so you can see what helped.
What free means here
Seedream 4 costs 3 credits per image. Every Lovino account gets 3 free credits a day, which covers up to 1 image a day at the lowest price, with a watermark on free-plan output.
Free is metered, not unlimited: once the daily credits are spent you wait for the next day or add credits from a paid plan or, where your country allows it, a credit pack (plans start at $9.99 a month). A free Lovino account is required.
What Seedream 4 is
Seedream is ByteDance's image model line. Seedream 4 combines generation and editing: give it words for a new image, or add reference images and describe the change. That single model covers both jobs, which keeps a workflow simple.
On Lovino, Seedream 4 costs 3 credits per image, flat, with no resolution tiers to choose between.
Seedream 4 or Seedream 4.5?
Seedream 4.5 is the newer, premium model. It costs 4–6 credits per image, offers 2K and 4K options, and needs a paid plan. Seedream 4 is the version that works on the free daily credits, so it is the one to try first. If you outgrow it, the same prompt can be re-run on 4.5 after you upgrade.
What it suits
Because it takes reference images, Seedream 4 is useful for jobs beyond a plain prompt.
- Editing a picture with a written instruction while keeping its subject.
- Combining a subject from one image with a setting from another.
- Illustration and social visuals in a wide range of aspect ratios, up to 21:9.
Free credits in practice
Your 3 free daily credits cover exactly 1 Seedream 4 image a day, with a watermark. If you want to iterate several times in a day, credits come from a paid plan or, where your country allows it, a credit pack.
