Flux 2 vs Seedream 4.5
Top-down arranged compositions and aesthetic product flat lays — see how these models compare with real AI-generated outputs.
Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Flat lay content lives or dies by composition: clean top-down geometry, believable object scale, consistent shadows, and styling that feels intentionally arranged. In Influencer Studio, Flux 2 and Seedream 4.5 both handle text-to-image and image-to-image editing, making them strong options for creating aesthetic flat lays for product, lifestyle, and food-style layouts.
This comparison focuses on what matters most for flat lays: layout control, prop consistency, surface realism, typography/label clarity, and how efficiently you can iterate. We’ll also factor in pricing, since flat lays often require multiple variations to nail spacing, symmetry, and brand styling.
Flat Lay — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Top-down flat lay on a light oak café table: a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair leans into the frame from the edge, looking up toward the phone camera with a relaxed half-smile, wearing a cozy cream knit sweater and simple gold hoops. Neatly arranged around her are an iced latte, croissant on a small plate, a skincare serum bottle, lip balm, sunglasses, a paperback book, and an open planner with scribbled notes, all balanced and slightly “real” (a few crumbs, a receipt). Soft window daylight, casual Instagram story vibe, candid everyday moment rather than polished or editorial."
