# Gemini to SeeDream v4.5 Migration Migrate AI image generation from Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image to BytePlus SeeDream v4.5 with this proven, production-ready workflow. ## Quick Start **Migration Overview:** - Replace Gemini SDK with BytePlus REST API - Update environment variables and validation - Migrate API routes to new client - Test and validate changes - Update documentation **Benefits:** - Higher resolution support (up to 4K vs 2K) - Better control over image dimensions and generation - Built-in prompt optimization for quality improvement - Potentially lower costs (check BytePlus pricing) - Broader format support (adds BMP, TIFF, GIF) **Prerequisites:** - Existing project using Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image - BytePlus API key (get from https://console.byteplus.com/ark/region:ark+ap-southeast-1/apiKey) - TypeScript/JavaScript project with image generation endpoints **Time Estimate:** 3-4 hours for complete migration --- ## Core Migration Workflow ### Phase 1: Environment Setup Replace Gemini environment variables with BytePlus configuration. #### Step 1.1: Update .env.example Find and remove Gemini configuration: ```bash # REMOVE GEMINI_API_KEY=your_google_ai_api_key_here ``` Add BytePlus configuration: ```bash # ADD BYTEPLUS_API_KEY=your_byteplus_api_key_here ``` #### Step 1.2: Update Environment Validator If you have environment validation (recommended), update it to check for `BYTEPLUS_API_KEY` instead of `GEMINI_API_KEY`.
