Website: All Image AI

Language: English

Seedream 4 is built for output in sets. With Series Mode on, the images in one run share palette, lighting and compositional language, which removes a lot of manual matching when you are making a series of social posts or a multi-page deck. It also does native 4K and handles mixed-script layouts.
