Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Creating standout pet photography—whether it’s a studio-style dog portrait, a cozy cat lifestyle scene, or a playful action shot—depends on how well a model handles fur detail, natural lighting, believable anatomy, and expressive eyes. Flux 2 and Seedream 4.5 are both strong options in Influencer Studio for generating and editing pet images.
This comparison focuses on real-world pet workflows: text-to-image prompts for dogs and cats, image-to-image edits for fixing small issues (paws, ears, collars), style changes for seasonal campaigns, and producing high-quality outputs for social posts or product listings—while also factoring in credit costs.
Pet Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Casual phone-camera photo at a sunny neighborhood park: a woman in her mid‑20s with a messy bun, no-makeup makeup, oversized hoodie and biker shorts crouches at eye level behind her golden retriever, looking toward the camera like she’s filming an IG story. The dog sits in the foreground with sharp focus on its eyes, tongue slightly out, warm golden-hour light and soft background blur of grass and a path. Candid, everyday vibe—slight motion in her hand mid-pet, natural colors, not posed or editorial."

Flux 2 Strengths
- LoRA support for repeatable pet characters and consistent breed-specific looks across a series (e.g., the same golden retriever in multiple scenes)
- Versatile image-to-image editing for refining pet portraits—adjusting backgrounds, outfits, props, and composition without rebuilding the whole image
- Up to 4MP output for sharper fur texture, whiskers, and eye catchlights—useful for close-up portraits and crops
- Style transfer options for turning the same pet photo concept into multiple aesthetics (studio, film, editorial, seasonal)
- Face-swap support for pet-themed composites where you need controlled identity/face consistency (best used with care for realism)
Seedream 4.5 Strengths
- Strong all-around text-to-image quality for dogs and cats with versatile styles (lifestyle, studio, outdoor, product-adjacent scenes)
- High-resolution output suited to detailed pet portraits and social-ready crops
- Solid image-to-image editing for quick fixes (background changes, lighting mood, color palette) and iterative creative direction
- Simpler pricing at 16 credits per image, making it easier to budget for high-volume pet content batches
Verdict
If you need maximum control and repeatability for pet campaigns—especially consistent “brand pets,” specific breed looks, or a series that must match across many images—Flux 2 stands out thanks to LoRA support, robust editing tools, and up to 4MP output. It’s also a strong pick when you expect to do multiple rounds of targeted edits on the same dog/cat portrait.
If your priority is fast, high-quality pet images at a predictable cost, Seedream 4.5 is a practical choice. At 16 credits per image, it’s well-suited for producing lots of pet lifestyle variations (different rooms, parks, seasons, accessories) without over-optimizing the workflow.
