What is the difference between Seedream and Seedream 5.0 Pro?

Seedream 5.0 Pro, also written Seedream 5 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.

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

Seedream, Seedream 5 Pro and Lite 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.
