I

Seedream is ByteDance's family of image generation models, built by the team behind TikTok and CapCut. The fifth generation ships in two versions. Seedream 5 Pro creates sharp, photorealistic images at 2K — detailed skin, fabric, architecture and product shots. Seedream 5 Flash runs faster and costs just 3 credits — perfect for drafts, batches and experiments.

Seedream's standout strength is reference handling. Upload up to 10 images — a character, a product, a style, a background — and the model blends them into one coherent scene. That's ideal for ad campaigns where the same product or character needs to appear across multiple shots.

Seedream renders a wide range of human features convincingly and is especially strong at atmospheric cityscapes — neon-lit streets at night, rain-soaked pavement. Prompts can be written in your own language, and the models are available right in the app.
