What is AI image-to-image generation?

AI image-to-image generation transforms an existing image based on a text description. You upload a photo and describe how you want it changed — style transfer, artistic effects, creative modifications — and the AI generates a new image that applies your described transformation while preserving the composition and key features of the original.

How is image-to-image different from text-to-image?

Text-to-image creates images entirely from scratch based on text descriptions. Image-to-image starts with your existing photo as the foundation and transforms it according to your instructions. Use text-to-image when you want to create something new, and image-to-image when you want to transform or restyle an existing image. Try our text-to-image feature at /text-to-image.

What does the strength parameter do?

The strength parameter (0.3–1.0) controls how much the output differs from your original image. At 0.3, the transformation is subtle and preserves most of the original. At 1.0, the AI has maximum creative freedom to reimagine the image. The default of 0.8 provides a good balance between transformation and preservation. Experiment to find the sweet spot for your use case.

What image formats are supported?

Seedance AI image-to-image supports JPG, PNG, and WebP formats with images up to 10MB. For best results, use high-resolution source images (at least 1024px on the longest side). Higher quality input produces higher quality transformations.

Is image-to-image free to use?

Yes! We offer free credits for every new user — no credit card required. Each image-to-image transformation costs 4 credits. For professional and high-volume usage, we offer affordable credit packs starting from $4.99.

What kinds of transformations can I do?

The possibilities are virtually unlimited: anime/manga style transfer, 3D figurine conversion, oil painting or watercolor effects, double exposure art, cyberpunk restyling, vintage/retro filters, sketch-to-photo conversion, season/weather changes, and any creative transformation you can describe in text.

Will the AI preserve my original image's composition?

Yes! Seedance AI is designed to preserve the composition, pose, and spatial layout of your original image while applying transformations. The strength parameter lets you control exactly how much preservation vs. transformation you want. At lower strength values, the output closely follows your original; at higher values, the AI takes more creative liberty.

Are outputs watermark-free?

Absolutely! All images generated with Seedance AI image-to-image are completely watermark-free with commercial license included. Ready for social media, marketing, creative projects, or any commercial use at no extra cost.

How fast is image-to-image generation?

Seedance AI image-to-image typically generates a transformed image within 30–60 seconds depending on image complexity and transformation type. You can monitor progress in real-time with our live progress tracker.

Can I use image-to-image for commercial projects?

Yes! All transformed images include a commercial license. Many designers, marketers, and content creators use image-to-image for social media content, marketing materials, product mockups, and creative client work.
