Question 1

What does Seedream 5.0 Pro Edit do?

Accepted Answer

It edits an existing image using a natural-language instruction and one or more reference images, powered by ByteDance's flagship Seedream 5.0 Pro model.

Question 2

How is it different from Seedream 5.0 Lite Edit?

Accepted Answer

Pro uses a larger visual reasoning backbone for sharper 2K detail, stronger prompt adherence, and more consistent multi-image composition. Lite Edit is optimized for speed and cost.

Question 3

How many reference images can I provide?

Accepted Answer

Up to 10 images via the images_list field. The first is included in the base price; each additional image adds a $0.003 surcharge.

Question 4

How much does Seedream 5.0 Pro Edit cost?

Accepted Answer

$0.045/image at 1K resolution or $0.09/image at 2K resolution, plus $0.003 for each reference image beyond the first.

Question 5

What resolution and aspect ratios are supported?

Accepted Answer

1K or 2K output across 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 2:3, and 3:2 aspect ratios. Note 16:9 and 9:16 do not support 2K.

Question 6

Is there a text-to-image version of this model?

Accepted Answer

Yes — see [Seedream 5.0 Pro Text to Image](/playground/bytedance-seedream-5.0-pro) for generating images from a prompt alone, with no input image required.
