Why Seedream5 AI

One Seedream 5 Workspace for Drafts, Sets and Layered Files

Seedream 5 comes in three tiers built for different jobs. Seedream5 AI puts all of them behind one prompt box and shows the cost of each run first.

Flash, Lite or Pro: choose by the job

Flash is the fast, low-cost tier for trying ideas. Lite takes exact pixel sizes up to 4K. Pro is for final work at up to 2K, with a choice of how far it rewrites your prompt.

Readable type on posters and packaging

Headlines, labels and prices come through well when you quote the exact words and say where they belong. Seedream 5 handles mixed English and Chinese layouts too. Proofread small print before it goes to press.

Edit with up to 10 reference images

Attach a photo and describe the change, or add a character, an outfit and a backdrop and ask Seedream 5 to combine them. On Flash and Lite, extra references cost nothing more.

Image sets and layer splits

Lite can return up to 8 matching images, with the same characters and palette across a storyboard or campaign. Flash and Pro can split one image into a base and transparent PNG layers.

FAQ

Seedream 5 Generator FAQ

  • Seedream5 AI is an online Seedream 5 generator and editor. Write a prompt for a new picture, attach up to 10 images to edit or combine them, make a matching set, or split an image into layers. Everything is kept in your library.

  • Seedream 5 is a family of image generation and editing models from ByteDance. It comes in three tiers: Flash for speed and low cost, Lite for pixel-exact sizes up to 4K and image sets, and Pro for careful final renders.

  • Flash is the quickest and cheapest. Lite is the only tier with 4K and matching image sets. Pro is the costliest and adds a choice between a full and a faster prompt rewrite. Flash and Pro can both split an image into layers.

  • Choose Flash or Pro, set the output to Layers and attach one image. You get back a base image and transparent PNG layers to use in your design software. It costs far more than one render and takes longer, so try it on images you have settled on.

  • Yes. New accounts get free credits, enough for one Flash image at the default settings. After that, credits come from a plan or a one-off pack, and each run shows its cost first.

  • Short titles, labels and prices usually come out as written, and English and Chinese can share a layout. Quote the exact words and say where they go. Dense small print still needs checking, so proofread anything headed to print.

  • Yes. Attach a photo and describe the change, such as a new background, different wording or another season. Add up to 10 references to bring in a character, a product or a style. Set a ratio if you need a specific shape.

  • Start with what the image is for, then describe subject, setting, light and style in full sentences. Quote any exact text. For a set, say how many images you want and what changes between them. Choose the ratio in the menu.

  • Flash and Pro render at 1K, 1.5K or 2K in 15 aspect ratios. Lite works in pixels: 2K, or 4K such as 3840 × 2160 at 16:9 and 4096 × 4096 at 1:1. Lite is the tier to choose for 4K.

  • Images made on a paid Seedream5 AI plan can be used commercially under our Terms of Service. You remain responsible for what you depict, so avoid real people's likenesses and other companies' trademarks.

  • No. Seedream5 AI is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by ByteDance. It runs Seedream 5 through a third-party inference platform.
