Seedream AI Image Generator
On ImgToVid, Seedream opens Seedream 5.0 Lite: text-to-image or an edit at 2K, 3K or 4K, up to four stills per run, and an edit can take up to fifteen references. Seedream 5.0 Pro sits on the same prompt box — 1K or 2K, one still, up to ten references — and is not this button. Keep Lite selected and generate in Create.
01 — Capabilities
This page opens Lite: 2K–4K, up to 4 stills, edit up to 15 refs
Seedream 5.0 Lite is the ByteDance still on this page. Pro uses the same prompt box; the table is what changes.
01
2K, 3K and 4K — no 1K on Lite
Set the resolution for the job. Up to four images per run. 1K lives on Pro, not here.
02
A set of frames including 21:9
1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9 and auto. No 1:8 or 8:1 on this family.
03
Edits with up to 15 references
Upload a still and describe the change. Text-only stills start from the prompt alone.
04
Not Seedream 5.0 Pro’s 1K/2K one-still table
Pro on this site is 1K or 2K, one still per run, edit up to 10 references — no 3K or 4K. This button runs Seedream 5.0 Lite in Create.
02 — Prompt to output
A prompt, then the still
Each still ships with the prompt that made it. Open one in Create and change it.
01 · PortraitPromptClose photographic portrait of a young man with curly hair wearing a grey knit sweater, soft window light, he glances aside and smiles warmly, shallow depth of field.
02 · ProductPromptA clean white leather sneaker on a pale grey seamless studio backdrop, soft diffused light, three-quarter view, crisp stitching, minimal commercial photograph.
03 · StreetPromptPhotographic view down a cobblestone lane in an old European village, climbing roses on stone walls, café tables in morning sun, a few people strolling in the distance.
04 · CharacterPromptPhotograph of a young woman with shoulder-length brown hair in an olive t-shirt, golden late-afternoon light, she turns her head and looks into the distance, breeze in her hair.
03 — Where it fits
Where a 2K–4K still with several variations has to hold up
Work that needs 4K, or up to four stills in one run, or an edit that keeps up to fifteen references — not Pro’s one-still 1K/2K table.
Campaign stills that need 4K
One clean subject, controlled light. Lite is the 4K pass on this family.
Widescreen or story frames
21:9 and 9:16 are on this series. Place the subject so a caption can sit in a corner.
Several variations in one run
Up to four stills per generate. Each extra batch is another run.
Edits that keep a face or product
Bring up to fifteen references so the person or SKU stays put while the rest of the brief changes.
