What is the difference between Seedream and Seedream 5 Pro?

Pro is the top tier of the same family: a more finished render across the same resolution range, up to 4K. Lite goes the other way — faster and cheaper, for iterating before a final pass.

Can Seedream edit an existing image?

Yes. Every variant exists in image-to-image form: you supply a start image and a written instruction, with no mask to trace.

Are Seedream and Seedance the same thing?

No, but they come from the same publisher: Seedream generates images, Seedance generates video. Both families are in the catalogue, so you can generate an image and then animate it while keeping a consistent look.

What is the maximum resolution?

All three variants output at 1K, 2K or 4K across eight formats from square to vertical. 4K is available directly, without an upscale step.

Model · ByteDance

Seedream, for photographic rendering

Seedream is ByteDance's image model. Where Nano Banana excels at text, Seedream excels at material: skin, fabric, stone, metal, raking light. It is the model to reach for on a product still life or an editorial portrait.

What Seedream is good at

Material and light

The grain of stone, the weave of a fabric, the way a hard light falls across a matte surface: that is where this model separates itself. On packshots and still life it produces images that hold up without retouching.

Editing by instruction

The image-to-image variants rework an existing picture from a written instruction, with no mask to draw. Useful for deriving one visual into several moods.

Up to 4K, eight ratios

All three variants output at 1K, 2K or 4K across eight formats from square to vertical. The resolution is available directly, without an upscale pass.

A matching video family next door

The same publisher makes Seedance, also in the catalogue. Generating a Seedream image and animating it with Seedance keeps a consistency of look that two different vendors do not.
