Who makes Seedream 5.0 Flash?

Seedream is a family of image models from ByteDance. We are an independent website that runs Seedream 5.0 Flash through an inference platform. We are not affiliated with ByteDance.

How much does Seedream 5.0 Flash cost here?

Each image costs from 8 credits. Sign-up is free and comes with 20 credits valid for 30 days, and signed-in users get 5 free credits every day.

Do the images have a watermark?

Images made with free credits have a small watermark in the bottom-right corner. Images made with purchased credits don't, and you can also remove the watermark later by buying credits.

Do I need an account?

Yes. The AI Image Generator needs a free account. Without one, you can still try the HD Background Remover, Colorize Photo and the AI Photo Filter as a guest.

How is it different from FLUX.2 klein and Seedream 5.0 Pro?

FLUX.2 klein is the fast, low-cost option and is weaker on photorealism. Seedream 5.0 Pro is the premium option: it costs more per image, makes one image per run and takes longer, with sharper detail. Seedream 5.0 Flash sits in between and is the default.

How long are my images kept?

Generated images are kept for 30 days on a free account and for 365 days once you have bought credits or a subscription. Download anything you want to keep longer.

Are the images marked as AI-generated?

Yes. Every generated image includes metadata that says it was made with AI.

What is Seedream 5.0 Flash?

Seedream 5.0 Flash is a text-to-image model from ByteDance, and it is the standard model in our AI image generator. The Seedream 5.0 family replaced Seedream 4 and comes in Lite, Flash and Pro versions. We use Flash because it gives good image quality at a moderate price, which makes it a sensible default for everyday image generation. You write a prompt, choose an aspect ratio, and get one to four images back.

What you can make with it

Social media images. Square posts, vertical stories and wide banners from a single description.
Blog and slide visuals. Illustrations for an article or a presentation when you don't have a matching photo.
Product and mood ideas. Quick concepts for packaging, a room, an outfit or a scene before you commit to a photo shoot.
Starting points for other tools. Upscale a result for print, extend it to a new shape with the AI Image Extender, or turn it into a short clip with Image to Video.

Prompt tips

Describe one clear subject first, then add the setting, style and lighting. "A ceramic coffee mug on a wooden table, morning light from a window, soft shadows, product photo" works better than a list of loose keywords. If the first run isn't right, change one detail at a time so you can see what made the difference. Generating two to four images per run is an easy way to compare variations without rewriting the prompt.

Seedream 5.0 Flash vs. the other models

Our AI Image Generator has three models, and the right one depends on what you need:

FLUX.2 [klein] is the fast tier. It costs the least and is useful for drafts and testing prompts, but its photorealism is weaker.
Seedream 5.0 Flash is the standard tier and the default. It is the one to start with for most images.
Seedream 5.0 Pro, also from ByteDance, is the premium tier. It costs more per image, makes one image per run and is worth trying when a result really matters.

A common workflow is to test a prompt with FLUX.2 [klein], then run the final version on Seedream 5.0 Flash or Seedream 5.0 Pro.

Photo editing with Seedream 5.0 Flash

Seedream 5.0 Flash can also edit an existing photo, and it is good at keeping people recognizable while it makes the change. That is why it runs the AI Photo Editor, the AI Headshot Generator, the Hairstyle Changer, Change Background and Old Photo Restoration on our site.
