Prompt
"A mid-20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair in a casual oversized hoodie and leggings holds her phone at arm’s length for a front-camera selfie, glancing near the lens with a relaxed half-smile while walking past a neighborhood café patio. Morning natural light, clean stock-photo composition with bright even exposure, subtle background blur showing coffee cups and street greenery for an authentic Instagram story vibe."

Nano Banana Pro Strengths
- Industry-leading text rendering for stock-ready signage, packaging mockups, labels, and UI-style overlays
- Marketing-grade, production-quality visuals that can pass for polished commercial photography in common stock categories
- Up to 4K output for crops, multiple aspect ratios, and high-detail stock deliverables
- Strong multimodal understanding to better follow detailed briefs (props, setting, demographics, composition) for consistent stock sets
Seedream 4.5 Strengths
- Image-to-image editing makes it practical for stock workflows: iterate on a “hero” image while keeping composition consistent
- Versatile styles for covering a wider range of stock niches (lifestyle, editorial-ish looks, minimal product, abstract backgrounds)
- High-quality output at a predictable per-image cost, useful for rapid volume production and A/B variations
- Efficient for quick revisions (wardrobe, color palette, background swaps) without restarting from scratch
Verdict
Nano Banana Pro is the stronger pick when your stock photography needs clean, reliable text (signs, product labels, storefronts, presentation screens) and when you want high-resolution, marketing-polished images that hold up to cropping and reuse across multiple placements.
Seedream 4.5 is the better fit for creators who value editing and iteration as part of their stock workflow—especially when you need many variations of the same concept (seasonal changes, colorways, backgrounds) at a straightforward per-image credit cost. If your stock focus is variety and fast refinements, Seedream 4.5 tends to feel more flexible.
