Seedream 5.0 Lite generates images from a written brief and edits one to ten reference images. Assign separate inputs to a person, an object, a location or a visual style, then describe how they should appear together. Choose an aspect-ratio preset, a 2K or 3K size preset, or custom positive integer width and height, and request one to fifteen images with the batch-count setting. Use the text task to develop a new composition and the editing task to combine prepared material, expand a scene or reinterpret it in a referenced style.
Seedream 5.0 Lite is developed by ByteDance Seed. Vidgo provides access to the model. Model names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.Choose Text to Image for a complete written concept or Image Editing for prepared subjects, objects, scenery and style references. Explain each image’s role by its input order. Set the desired size and number of images on the task page so the output and estimate match the creative test you are planning.

Text to Image establishes the scene through your description. Image Editing combines that description with one to ten ordered images, allowing a person, their equipment and the setting to come from different sources. Both tasks accept size and batch-count settings.

A useful reference brief identifies what each image contributes and how the final scene should reconcile pose, scale, light and style. The existing records show an explanatory illustration, a three-source courtyard scene and a chess photograph interpreted as a relief print.
Describe the subject, title, labels and the relationship between diagram elements. The bee-map record requests an explanatory image at the 3K preset. Inspect the visual sequence and generated wording when preparing an educational graphic.
Supply separate images for each source and explain their relationship in the prompt. The courtyard example combines an elderly weaver, a backstrap loom and an adobe courtyard, then requests consistent afternoon light, perspective and working posture.
Use one image for the composition and another for the visual treatment. The chess example retains players, pieces, trees and pigeons from the photograph while requesting the carved lines, rust-red ink and paper texture of a two-color linocut. Compare the result for both content and style.
Write the activity, environment, surfaces and light sources in a text prompt. The glass-furnace record provides a scene for examining glowing heat, workshop illumination and material detail when developing an editorial image concept.
Choose a supported aspect ratio, the 2K or 3K preset, or custom integer width and height. Set n from 1 to 15 when requesting a batch. Use the resulting files to review composition and detail at the intended size, and check the total estimate for the requested count.
The courtyard record takes the woman, loom and location from three different images and describes how she should work within the combined scene. The chess record uses one photograph for all content and a second image only for the linocut style. All source images, complete prompts and actual outputs are retained so you can inspect identity, tool placement, lighting and the relationship between content and style.
Combine the three reference images into one natural documentary photograph. Use the elderly woman from image 1 with exactly the same face, wrinkles, eyes, braids tied with red yarn, black montera hat with the red band and magenta shawl with the silver pin. Use the backstrap loom and half-finished textile from image 2, keeping the same red, deep green and golden yellow diamond and zigzag pattern with the small white llama figures. Set the scene in the adobe courtyard from image 3 with its ochre walls, blue door, clay pot of geraniums and the terraces and snowy peaks beyond the low wall. The woman kneels on the straw mat in three-quarter view; the far end bar of the loom is tied to the wooden post, the near bar is attached to a strap around her waist, and her hands pass the weaving sword through the warp threads. Relight her and the loom with the same warm low afternoon sun from the left and matching long shadows, consistent scale and perspective, no text, no watermark.
Redraw image 1 in the exact visual style of image 2. Image 1 defines all content: keep the same composition and framing, the two elderly players with their facial features, poses and clothing, the standing onlooker with folded arms, the chess table with the pieces in the same positions, the jacaranda trees and the three pigeons. Image 2 defines only the style: a two-color linocut relief print on off-white textured paper with bold carved black lines, visible gouge marks, parallel hatching for shading, flat rust-red ink for the shirts, the cardigan and the jacaranda blossoms, slightly uneven ink coverage and visible paper grain. Do not copy any boats, harbor, lighthouse or seagulls from image 2. No text, no signature, no watermark.
Create explanatory illustrations, combine people and equipment in a new setting, expand a landscape or apply a referenced print style. Prepare the source material, identify the elements to retain and choose the size and requested image count. Review text, anatomy and spatial relationships before using the result in educational material, an editorial concept or an application.
Prepare the topic, title, labels and diagram sequence, then generate the image with the intended size preset. Check factual relationships and rendered text before using it as an educational concept.
Prepare a person, their tool and a suitable location as separate images. Explain posture, equipment placement and shared illumination, then review the combined image for a documentary scene proposal.
Provide a content photograph and a print reference, identify their distinct roles and describe the line work, ink colors and paper texture. Review the redraw for an illustration or visual treatment board.
Upload the source scene and select a wider aspect ratio. Describe the surroundings to add and the elements to retain, then inspect the expanded composition for a presentation or editorial layout.
Prepare a complete prompt and output size, set the requested count from 1 to 15 and review the total estimate. Inspect each returned image and retain the results that fit the project’s visual direction.
Test the ordered references, prompt, size and count online, then carry those inputs into the matching API task. Track the returned task ID and retrieve the completed image URLs for your application.
Seedream 5.0 Lite calculates the request estimate from its current image rate multiplied by the requested count n. The current configuration uses the same rate across supported size options. The dynamic table shows the current starting rate for one requested image; set the actual size and count on the task page to review the total before submission.
| Model | Provider | Workflow | Max image inputs | Resolution presets | Starting rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedream 5.0 Lite Text to Image | ByteDance | Text to Image | Not applicable | 2K / 3K | $0.025 / requested image |
| Seedream 5.0 Lite Edit | ByteDance | Image Editing | 10 | 2K / 3K | $0.025 / requested image |
Test your creative brief online, then bring the verified request into your application.
Enter the prompt and provide one to ten ordered references for editing. Choose an aspect-ratio or 2K/3K preset, or enter custom positive integer dimensions, then set n from 1 to 15. Review the estimate, generate and inspect every returned image for content, style and the requested changes.
Choose a task, inspect its settings and cost, and follow the result from an online test to an authenticated API request.
Choose Text to Image when the composition starts with a written brief. Choose Image Editing when photographs, illustrations or other references already define the subject, object, setting or visual style. Explain the role of each input and the result you want to create.
Open the matching task, enter your brief and supply the required images. Review the generated result against subject appearance, composition and the requested changes before carrying the workflow into a project.
Set the size and n on the task page to review the complete estimate. A batch requests multiple images and its estimate scales with that count, helping you budget exploratory and selected-size tests separately.
Read the actual prompt and inspect its source images and result together. Use those examples to understand how to assign input roles and describe the details to preserve or change in your own request.
Retain the task ID returned by the API to query status and retrieve completed file URLs. Use your online generation history to review earlier results and the creative direction you tested.
Use the documentation linked from each task for its exact model identifier, accepted inputs, authentication and response format. Integrate the same task you tested online so its media and settings match the request.
