API README

HiDream E1

hidream-ai/hidream-e1/1 edits supplied imagery from natural-language direction while preserving requested content, identity, and composition. HiDream-E1 1 provides the standard instruction-editing checkpoint for balanced source fidelity, semantic change, and turnaround. This combination makes the model a practical choice when the creative outcome depends on those qualities rather than on a generic media conversion.

For production work with hidream-ai/hidream-e1/1, it suits retouching, object changes, restyling, background revision, product variation, and other workflows where an existing asset must remain recognizable after a meaningful transformation. The result is most reliable when the source material and creative brief clearly describe the intended subject, progression, visual or sonic character, and the qualities that must remain unchanged.

Highlights

Instruction-based editing applies semantic visual changes directly from natural language.

Source preservation retains requested identity, composition, and unaffected image regions.

Context-aware revision integrates new or changed content coherently into the scene.

Broad edit coverage supports restyling, replacement, cleanup, and structural adjustments.

When to Use

✅ Good fit	❌ Consider alternatives
The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output	A different input modality or model route is required
A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline	A synchronous, interactive editor is essential
The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format	The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema
Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure	Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory
A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable	Editable source layers or a native project file are required

Prompt Guide

For image-conditioned generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
