Ad-ready frames where the headline is designed into the layout, in about 14 languages, with up to 10 references fused into one image
How Seedream works
Choose a tier, describe the layout like an art director, set the canvas, and render. The same prompt box drives both text-to-image and reference-based edits.
Pick a tier and references
Start from text alone, or add up to 10 images and give each a job: subject, style, palette or layout.
Write the layout, quote the copy
Say where the headline sits, put exact words in quotes, and for edits state what to keep and what to change.
Set the canvas and render
Choose a fixed ratio or an Auto 1K to 4K size, draft cheap on Flash, then re-run the winner on Pro.
What Seedream is good at
Layout-aware type, reference fusion, keep-and-change editing and a canvas range from 1K to 4K, all with a clean, saturated, catalog finish.
Multi-reference fusion
Feed up to 10 images and assign each a role, such as the jacket from image 2 or the palette from image 3. Pro handles the complex merges; stacking near-identical references only averages them out.
Typography as layout
Headlines, subheads and labels come out as deliberate graphic hierarchy rather than a photographed sign. Quote the exact copy and name the style, and Pro is the tier tuned for multilingual type.
Keep-and-change edits
One prompt drives both generation and edit: supply an image and say what stays and what changes. Flash runs fast background swaps and recolors at a flat 37.2 credits, and Pro takes the final high-fidelity pass.
Sizes from 1K to 4K
Auto 1K to 4K options and fixed ratios let you match the canvas to the format. Draft small while exploring, then render final art at 2K or higher; on Pro, larger sizes raise the cost.

Seedream questions, answered
Pro is the high-fidelity tier for final work, and Flash is the cheaper, faster one for drafting. Pro suits final key visuals, posters, infographics and multilingual typography, at 93–186 credits for text-to-image depending on size. Flash costs a flat 37.2 credits and still handles typography, but gives up some fine detail and polish. Draft on Flash, then re-run winners on Pro.
Use Flash edit for fast iteration and Pro edit for final-quality composites. Flash edit (flat 37.2 credits) covers background swaps, recolors and style changes, but complex multi-reference merges and small text are less reliable. Pro edit (93–241.8 credits, rising with size and input images) is the pick for placing a product from one image into another scene while keeping the brand style.
No. Lite is a different branch, not the top rung of a quality ladder. It costs a flat 48.3 credits, more than Flash, and is a step behind Pro for type-heavy design. Keep it for existing workflows or prompts that benefit from scene reasoning, such as arranging objects into a plausible 3x3 shelf.
Up to 10. One image means an edit or variation, and several mean fusion. Give each reference a distinct job (subject, style, palette, layout) and name it in the prompt, such as 'the jacket from image 2'. Near-identical references tend to blur together, and features can bleed between them.
Dense paragraph text, vector logos and tiny masked edits. Small or long copy can misspell or drop characters, so check infographic labels. Seedream outputs raster images, not true vector art. Its polished, retouched finish also fights a gritty, analog or painterly look.
Seedream is made by ByteDance's Seed team. The earliest release date on record is 2026-02-13, which secondary coverage ties to the Lite tier. Pro and Flash followed later as a matched pair for design work.
