Seedream 5.0 Pro: Text-to-Image and Image Editing on Models and API | RunComfy

bytedance/seedream-5.0-pro/text-to-image

Seedream 5.0 Pro generates and edits images from text and references, with precise layout, layer separation, and accurate multilingual typography for brand, product, and marketing design.

The recommended length is no more than 600 English words. If the prompt is too long, the information may become scattered. The model might ignore details and only concentrate on the main points, resulting in a image with missing elements.
Choose the output resolution. Describe the aspect ratio or shape in your prompt and the model sets the final width and height. 1K is billed at $0.045 per image, 2K at $0.090.
The format of the output images. This will determine the format of the output images.

ByteDance / Seedream 5.0 Pro#


Seedream 5.0 Pro is ByteDance's advanced image model that unifies text-to-image generation and reference-guided image editing in one system. Seedream 5.0 Pro reads a text prompt, and optionally reference images, to produce or refine still images at up to 2K resolution with strong control over composition, spacing, and on-image text. This model page currently runs the text-to-image task.


Instead of treating every render as a one-off, Seedream 5.0 Pro turns image creation into a controllable production workflow: you can describe a change, point to a specific region, sketch a rough draft, adjust colors or materials, repair details, separate layers, and reuse the same visual assets across campaigns, scenes, and variants.


Seedream 5.0 Pro Highlights#


  • Two modes in one model: Seedream 5.0 Pro handles text-to-image generation and reference-guided image editing in the same workflow.

  • Interactive, controllable editing: Seedream 5.0 Pro follows selections, points, arrows, annotation boxes, and coordinates for high-precision local edits exactly where you mark them.

  • Sketch and doodle editing: Feed doodles, color blocks, lines, or simple sketches, and it turns them into realistic objects or refined detail from your natural-language instruction.

  • Anchor (position) editing: Seedream 5.0 Pro uses anchor points to target a region for precise local edits while limiting spill into non-target areas, which works best when objects sit in clear rows and columns.

  • Layer separation: Seedream 5.0 Pro splits a scene into one background layer plus N element layers and exports transparent (alpha) PNG assets, returning 2 to 20 images (billed per image) for drag, scale, and recompose workflows.

  • Precise color and material response: Give an exact color code or material and it re-renders one structure into unlimited material and texture variations while keeping the underlying geometry intact.

  • Multi-image fusion editing: It merges objects, styles, and materials from several reference images into one target image from a single instruction, keeping perspective, lighting, and spatial relationships correct.

  • Cinematic, natural output: Seedream 5.0 Pro raises richness, clarity, and realism, producing atmospheric, cinematic frames - from action and sports close-ups to 3D-animation concepts and game scenes - with real narrative tension.

  • Native multilingual text: Seedream 5.0 Pro understands prompts in 15 languages and renders on-image text across 14 languages, including Arabic, Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Thai, Korean, and Japanese, with significantly improved (not flawless) accuracy.

  • Smooth image-to-video with Seedance: Images from Seedream 5.0 Pro are trusted input for the Seedance 2.0 series and Seedance 2.5, so a text-to-image to image-to-video pipeline runs smoothly - text-to-image outputs are trusted automatically, and image-to-image outputs after the account completes KYC.

Seedream 5.0 Pro Pricing#


Seedream 5.0 Pro is billed by output resolution: $0.045 per image for 1K (up to 2.36M pixels) and $0.090 per image for 2K (above 2.36M pixels). In internal cross-industry testing, Seedream 5.0 Pro proved cost-efficient, offering a lower price than Nano Banana 2 at comparable resolution, with final cost varying by resolution and reference-image usage. Layer-separation jobs are billed per output image, from 2 to 20 images.


How to Use Seedream 5.0 Pro#


  1. Open the Seedream 5.0 Pro model page on RunComfy.
  2. Write a clear prompt covering subject, style, lighting, and any on-image text.
  3. Pick an output resolution (1K or 2K) and describe the aspect ratio in your prompt.
  4. Choose an output format, PNG for transparency-friendly assets or JPEG for smaller files.
  5. Generate, then review the image and refine the prompt as needed.
  6. To automate, call Seedream 5.0 Pro through the RunComfy API with identical parameters.

Seedream 5.0 Pro Prompt & Reference Tips#


  • Lead with the subject and the mood, then add composition and lighting details.
  • State exact text you want rendered in quotes to improve typography accuracy.
  • For edits, mark the target region and name the exact color code or material you want.
  • Name the aspect ratio or use case when you pick a size tier.
  • Keep prompts under ~600 words so no detail gets dropped.

Seedream 5.0 Pro Industry Use Cases#


Across e-commerce, marketing, portrait retouching, film and short-drama production, and presentation workflows, Seedream 5.0 Pro combines high-fidelity face preservation, consistent object preservation, and stable instruction-following. E-commerce teams recolor products and swap materials or backgrounds while keeping structure; marketing teams reuse one product, character, or brand element across many ad variants; retouchers reshape wardrobe, hair, and lighting while holding identity; and film, short-drama, and game teams separate characters, props, and backgrounds for fast, consistent iteration.


How Seedream 5.0 Pro Compares to Other Models#


  • In internal cross-industry testing, Seedream 5.0 Pro edged out Nano Banana 2 overall while offering a lower price at comparable resolution.
  • Seedream 5.0 Pro outputs up to 2K and does not target 4K, so choose Seedream 5.0 Lite when you need 3K or 4K.
  • Seedream 5.0 Pro combines generation and editing rather than splitting them across separate tools, and its layer-separation output suits teams that need editable assets, not flattened renders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Seedream 5.0 Pro used for in text-to-image workflows?

Seedream 5.0 Pro turns written prompts into high-fidelity still images at 1K or 2K resolution. It is built for design-grade output such as campaign key visuals, product imagery, and multilingual posters, where layout precision and clean typography matter.

How is Seedream 5.0 Pro different from Seedream 5.0 Lite?

Seedream 5.0 Pro targets higher fidelity and finer control than the Lite tier, with stronger layout handling, layer separation, and 14-language text rendering. Based on publicly available information, it favors single high-quality images over grouped or streamed batches, so it suits polished final assets rather than quick drafts.

Can Seedream 5.0 Pro render accurate text and layouts?

Yes. Seedream 5.0 Pro follows positional cues, color references, and multiple markers to place type and objects where you describe them. It renders letters and numbers across 14 languages, which helps with posters, infographics, and brand layouts.

What output resolutions does Seedream 5.0 Pro support?

Seedream 5.0 Pro supports a 1K tier and a 2K tier, plus exact pixel dimensions from 1024x1024 up to 2048x2048, with aspect ratios ranging from 16:1 to 1:16. For the tier options, the model chooses width and height, so describe the aspect ratio or purpose in your prompt.

Does Seedream 5.0 Pro support grouped or streamed image generation?

No. Seedream 5.0 Pro focuses on single-image generation and does not offer grouped image sets, streaming output, or web-connected search. Each request returns one image, which keeps results predictable for production design work.

What input limits should I know before using Seedream 5.0 Pro?

Prompts work best under about 600 English words so the model keeps every detail in focus. You can output PNG or JPEG, and choose a size tier or exact dimension. Check the current RunComfy parameter panel for the exact limits shown for your session.

Can developers use Seedream 5.0 Pro through the RunComfy API?

Yes. You can prototype Seedream 5.0 Pro in the RunComfy model UI, then call the same model through the RunComfy API using identical parameters. This lets you move from browser experiments to automated production without hosting or scaling the model yourself.

How much does it cost to generate with Seedream 5.0 Pro on RunComfy?

Seedream 5.0 Pro is coming soon, and the model behind this page currently runs Seedream 5.0 Lite, billed at $0.028 per output image. Generations draw from your RunComfy credits, and new users typically start with a free trial balance.
