Use Seedream 4.0 when you want a practical ByteDance image workflow for generation, prompt-guided edits, resolution-tier planning, and multilingual design drafts.
Use Seedream 4.0 when a project may start from a prompt, move into reference-guided image to image, and still keep the same general visual direction.
Choose 1K for quick exploration, 2K for everyday review, or 4K when the brief is mature enough for a higher-detail output check.
Seedream 4.0 is useful for short Chinese, English, or bilingual text directions, but exact copy should still be reviewed and finalized outside the generator.
Use up to 10 reference images for product variations, style studies, educational illustrations, and related outputs that need a shared prompt structure.
Use these Seedream 4.0 prompt ideas as starting points for text to image, image to image, and resolution-aware creative drafts.

A clean poster concept for [event/topic], short Chinese and English headline area, one strong visual metaphor, balanced negative space, modern editorial design, avoid tiny text.
Choose text to image or image to image first
Use text to image for a new concept from a written brief. Use image to image when an existing product, style, character, or composition should guide the result.
Pick resolution by review stage
Use 1K for rough exploration, 2K for everyday creative review, and 4K after the prompt, subject, and composition are close enough to inspect details.
Write short text requests carefully
For Chinese, English, or bilingual poster ideas, keep generated wording short and simple. Ask for a headline area when exact final copy matters.
Keep the reference set focused
When using up to 10 references, group images by one purpose: product shape, style direction, or subject identity. Mixed goals can make the edit harder to judge.
