AI Image Generator

Reference images

Add up to 10 images to guide or edit a generation, at no extra cost.

Reference images let Seedream 5.5 edit a photo or borrow its subject, style or colors. They are optional: with no references, the generator works from your prompt alone.

Add references

  • Add up to 10 images in the reference slots above the prompt.
  • Use JPEG, PNG or WebP.
  • Say in the prompt what to take from them, for example "keep the product from the first image, place it on a marble table".

Reference images are free: the cost depends only on resolution and the number of output images.

How references are stored

Reference images are uploaded to our cloud storage so the model provider can read them. They are kept in your reference library so you can reuse them, are linked to the Creation they were used for, and are sent to fal (the model provider) to process the request. This is different from the Image Splitter, which never uploads your image.

Your responsibility

Only upload images you have the right to use. Don't upload images of people without their permission, or anything the Terms of Service prohibit.
