Features
What you can do with Seedream 5.0 Pro
Text-to-image generation
Describe a subject, scene, style, and composition in a text prompt and Seedream 5.0 Pro generates an image that follows it closely. It is designed for high-quality output across creative, marketing, and production workflows.
Image editing from references
Upload up to 10 reference images and direct the edit with text instructions. The references guide the model on content, style, and composition, so you can iterate toward a specific look instead of starting from a blank prompt.
1K and 2K resolution tiers
Pick the 1K tier for faster, lower-cost drafts while you experiment with prompts and references. Switch to the 2K tier for the final render when the result needs to hold up at full size or in print.
15 aspect ratios and JPEG or PNG output
Choose from 15 aspect ratios — square, portrait, landscape, tall, and wide formats — to match any target platform. Export as JPEG for sharing, or PNG when you need lossless output for further editing.
How to use
How to create with Seedream 5.0 Pro
Write your prompt
Describe the subject, scene, lighting, style, mood, and composition you want. Clear, detailed prompts give the model more to work with and produce stronger prompt adherence.
Pick resolution and aspect ratio
Choose 1K to iterate cheaply or 2K for a higher-resolution final. Select the aspect ratio that matches your target platform, from square to widescreen.
Add reference images for edits
For image-to-image, upload up to 10 reference images and describe the change in text. The references guide the edit toward your target look and composition.
Generate and iterate
Run the generation, review the result, then adjust your prompt, references, or settings and re-run. Keep what works and refine from there.
