Auto — Smart Edit: AI Image Editor Online
Bottom line
VdoBloom's auto-routing editor: alternates Seedream 5.0 Pro and WAN 2.7 by retry — flat 7 credits. Open the Image Edit tool, select Auto — Smart Edit, upload your image, and the exact credit cost appears before the edit runs.
Auto — Smart Edit exists so you don't have to pick an editing engine before you know whether it can even finish the job. Submit an image and an instruction, and VdoBloom's routing takes over: on even-numbered attempts it tries Seedream 5.0 Pro first with WAN 2.7 Image as the fallback; on odd-numbered retries it flips that order and sends WAN 2.7 first. If both of those fail, the chain keeps going — WAN 2.7 Pro, then Qwen-Image-2.0, then Together AI, then KIE's Qwen2 Image Edit — before giving up.
That alternating order is deliberate: repeating the exact same failing request against the exact same engine rarely produces a different result, so a retry rotates which model leads. The Edit tab's Auto option accepts up to 9 reference images and works across seven aspect ratios — 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3 and 3:2.
Whichever engine ends up serving your request, the price stays fixed at 7 credits — the same flat rate as Seedream 4.5 Edit. VdoBloom shows that cost before you generate, and if every engine in the chain fails, the credits are refunded automatically rather than charged for a job that never came back.
How Auto routes your edit
Auto — Smart Edit is not a single model — it's a fallback chain. Even-numbered attempts lead with Seedream 5.0 Pro and fall back to WAN 2.7 Image; odd-numbered retries lead with WAN 2.7 instead. If neither succeeds, VdoBloom escalates to WAN 2.7 Pro, then Qwen-Image-2.0, then Together AI, then KIE's Qwen2 Image Edit, in that order.
This matters most on jobs that hit an edge case — an engine that rejects a particular instruction or image will get skipped in favor of the next one in the chain on your next retry, rather than failing identically every time.
What it costs on VdoBloom
7 credits per edit, flat, regardless of which engine in the chain actually produces the result. New accounts get 10 free credits at signup, enough for one Auto edit with 3 credits to spare. The cost is quoted before you submit, and a run that fails across the entire chain is refunded automatically.
When to skip Auto and pick an engine directly
Auto is the reliability-first default, but if you already know what you need, going direct can be faster or cheaper: Seedream 5.0 Pro for the highest-rated single engine (though it's priced separately at 10–19 credits by resolution tier), Seedream 4.5 Edit for consistent 4K output at the same 7-credit flat rate Auto charges, or WAN 2.7 Image if you specifically want that engine's behavior on every attempt instead of only sometimes.
What creators use Auto — Smart Edit for
- Day-to-day edits — object removal, background swaps, restyling — where you'd rather not research which engine is most reliable for a given request.
- Batch editing sessions where one engine's occasional failure shouldn't stop the run; the chain keeps trying other models automatically.
- Teams standardizing on a single edit entry point instead of training everyone on the differences between Seedream, WAN and Qwen.

Frequently asked questions
How does Auto — Smart Edit decide which model runs my edit?
It alternates by retry. On even-numbered attempts (the first, third, and so on) it tries Seedream 5.0 Pro first and falls back to WAN 2.7 Image if that fails; on odd-numbered retries it flips the order and sends WAN 2.7 first. If both fail, it escalates further to WAN 2.7 Pro, Qwen-Image-2.0, Together AI, and finally KIE's Qwen2 Image Edit.
How much does Auto — Smart Edit cost?
A flat 7 credits per edit, no matter which engine in the chain ends up serving the request — the same rate as running Seedream 4.5 Edit directly. The cost is shown before you generate, and it's refunded automatically if every engine in the chain fails.
Can I force Auto to use one specific engine?
Not through Auto itself — routing is automatic by design. If you want direct control, VdoBloom lists Seedream 4.5 Edit, Seedream 5.0 Pro, WAN 2.7 Image, and the Qwen editors as their own model choices on the Edit page.
How many reference images can I attach to an Auto edit?
Up to 9 on the dedicated Edit tab's Auto option.
What aspect ratios does Auto — Smart Edit support?
Seven: 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3 and 3:2 — square, standard photo, widescreen, vertical, and portrait/landscape photographic framings.
How strict is Auto — Smart Edit's content filter?
It carries VdoBloom's HOT label, the platform's more permissive filtering tier, since both lead engines in the chain (Seedream and WAN) are tagged HOT. Content the platform prohibits outright is still blocked regardless of which engine handles the request.
Is Auto — Smart Edit free to try?
New accounts start with 10 free credits. That covers one 7-credit Auto edit with 3 credits left over; after that, edits draw from your paid balance.
My Auto edit came back wrong or didn't apply the instruction — what happened?
Any engine in the chain can misread an ambiguous instruction or fail outright; a full-chain failure is refunded automatically rather than charged. If the result applied the wrong change, rewrite the instruction to be more literal and specific (what to change, what to keep) — that's more reliable than repeating the same wording and hoping a different engine in the chain gets it.
