Seedream 5.0 Pro

Seedream 5.0 Pro is ByteDance’s image flagship: photoreal generation up to 2K, plus reference edits with up to ten input images.

Seedream 5.0 Pro leads the catalog on photorealism and prompt fidelity. Beyond text-to-image, its edit mode accepts up to ten reference images, so a product shot, a location and a style frame can combine into one coherent result.

In Hiroska, stills are usually the first half of a video. Generate the frame with Seedream, then animate it with Kling or Seedance without leaving the project.

Questions

What can I do with Seedream 5.0 Pro’s reference edit mode?
Attach up to ten images and describe the result: put this product in this scene, restyle this photo like this reference, keep this face consistent. The model composites them coherently.
Can I turn a Seedream 5.0 Pro image into a video?
Yes, that is the core Hiroska flow. Generate the still, then send it to any image-to-video model (Kling, Seedance, Hailuo) as the start frame.
How is Seedream 5.0 Pro priced?
Per image in tokens, scaling with output size. Edits with many references cost slightly more, and the picker shows the price up front.
