What Is Seedream 5.0?

Seedream 5.0 is ByteDance’s AI image generation and editing model family, supporting text-to-image creation and generation from single or multiple reference images. HeyTop AI uses the Flash version, which prioritizes faster, more cost-efficient generation, while Pro places greater emphasis on image quality.

Its capabilities include targeted image editing, multilingual text generation, and image decomposition into a base image and transparent layers. These tools support workflows such as adapting product visuals, revising promotional posters, and preparing artwork for further design work.

Seedream 5.0 Features for More Control over Your Images

Go beyond the initial image with more control over how your visuals take shape. From precise edits and multi-image references to flexible layers and multilingual text, explore creative possibilities tailored to your design needs.

Refine Specific Design Elements with Clear, Visually Guided Edits

Draw freeform sketches or bounding boxes directly on your image to pinpoint edits without lengthy positional descriptions. Ask the model to remove your markup and blend new content with the original lighting, even allowing you to composite subjects across entirely different images.

Visually Edit Image Regions

Transform Flat Images into Multi-Layer Assets for Granular Control

Split a rendered composition into a base image and up to 16 transparent PNG layers, separating subjects, typographic elements, and decorative accents. Each extracted layer comes with coordinate metadata and can be independently re-edited or recolored in design tools without altering the rest of your layout.

Extract Editable Image Layers

Blend Subjects, Styles, and Settings into One Cohesive Composition

Build More Consistent Visuals by supplying up to 10 visual references to independently define character identity, wardrobe, or environmental style. Assigning clear roles to each input helps the model combine complex stylistic requirements into a single, unified commercial visual.

Create from Multiple References

Design Commercial Posters and Campaign Visuals with Native Multilingual Text

Embed headlines and labels directly into your scenes rather than applying them as an afterthought, with native support for Chinese and English plus 14 additional languages, including Japanese, Arabic, and Thai. Seedream 5.0 supports these different writing systems, helping you explore localized versions of your campaign visuals.

Generate Multilingual Visuals

Generate High-Fidelity 2K Images Sized Perfectly for Your Projects

Tailor your outputs to project requirements by generating crisp 1K, 1.5K, or high-fidelity 2K assets across customizable aspect ratios within the supported range. Export directly to standard PNG or JPEG files for your next stage of production.
