# Seedance 2 Pro Image Generator

Generate images with current text-to-image and reference-capable models, using only the controls and limits shown for the selected option.

> Canonical: https://seedance2.pro/ai-image-generator

Choose a current image model, add only supported text or reference inputs, confirm output settings and credits, then inspect the returned image.

## What the Seedance 2 Pro Image Generator Does

This image generator uses a separate image-model catalogue. Input types, reference limits, aspect ratios, resolutions and access requirements change with the selected model.

### Text to image

Describe the subject, framing and lighting on a text-capable model, then inspect whether the returned image followed each required detail.

### Image to image

Supply a reference to a compatible model and describe the intended edit. The source guides the result but does not guarantee subject identity or layout preservation.

### Model-specific reference limits

Some image models accept references and others are text-only. The live upload control states accepted formats, file size and image count.

### Images for downstream video work

A downloaded still can become a source image for a compatible video model, but composition, identity and detail can still drift during animation.

## Why Generate Stills Here

The case for using the image generator rather than reaching for a general-purpose image tool.

### Image and video models remain separate

The still and its later video may use different models. Treat the image as a reference rather than a guarantee of predictable animation.

### Reference control instead of prompt guessing

References can guide style and subject more directly than prompt adjectives, but consistency must be checked in every returned image.

### Resolution is an output setting

Choose only a resolution exposed by the selected model, then inspect text, faces and fine details at full size before cropping or publishing.

## How to Generate an Image With Seedance 2 Pro

Four steps from a prompt or a reference to a finished still.

### Choose text-to-image or image-to-image

Start from a description when nothing is fixed; start from a reference when the subject or the look already exists.

### Describe the subject, then the frame

Say what is in shot before you describe treatment. Lighting and lens language refine a clear subject but cannot rescue a vague one.

### Add supported references

Use the reference count, type and size accepted by the selected form. Do not assume one model's upload allowance applies to another.

### Pick the ratio, then export

Choose the aspect ratio for where the still is going, generate, and download at full resolution.

## Seedance 2 Pro Image Generator controls

What the current multi-model image form can expose, with availability and limits determined by the selected option.

### Text-to-image generation

Finished stills from a written description, with no source asset required.

### Image-to-image restyling

Restyle, recompose or extend an existing image while holding the subject.

### Reference-image input where supported

Compatible models expose their own reference-image field and file limits; text-only models do not inherit it.

### Aspect ratio presets

Choose only from the aspect ratios exposed by the selected model; available ratios can change when the model changes.

### Model-specific resolution controls

Available output sizes differ by model and plan. A larger setting does not guarantee correct fine detail or text.

### Download for image-to-video

Download a usable still, then upload it only to a video model whose form accepts a source image.

## Frequently Asked Questions About Seedance 2 Pro

Answers about image-model choice, text and reference inputs, resolution, credits, consistency and downstream video use.

### Can I use a still as the first frame of a Seedance 2 shot?

Using a still as the first frame is the most common reason to generate one here. Fixing the opening frame decides framing and subject before any motion is involved, which is far more controllable than describing the same composition in a video prompt.

### How detailed should a still prompt be for pre-production?

Detailed about the frame, loose about everything else. Lens, distance and light decide whether the still can carry a shot; adjectives about mood rarely survive into motion.

### Why does the same prompt return different stills?

Sampling is random unless a seed is pinned. Early on that is the point - you are looking for a direction, not reproducing one.

### Can I match a still to an existing shot?

Supply the shot as a reference and change one attribute at a time. Colour and composition carry across far more reliably than they can be described.

### What resolution should I generate for video work?

Larger than the target frame. A still that will be pushed in on or stabilised needs headroom, and cropping down is free where upscaling is visible.

### How many credits does Seedance 2 Pro Image Generator use?

Seedance 2 Pro Image Generator draws between 50 and 150 credits per run, depending on the model and length chosen in the form.

### What limits should I check before using Seedance 2 Pro Image Generator?

Generated output from Seedance 2 Pro Image Generator can contain visual, audio, or factual errors. Review each result before publishing, and upload only material you are authorized to use.

### What happens to the files I upload to Seedance 2 Pro Image Generator?

An upload is stored against your own account, not pooled with other people's. Deleting the account removes it: the control is in Settings under Security, the request is confirmed by email, and the erasure removes the stored objects it owns. How long anything else is kept, and which processors handle it, is stated in the privacy policy.
