Seedream 5.0 Pro
Seedream 5.0 Pro is the flagship of ByteDance's Seedream 5 line, built for single images where quality matters more than volume. It renders at 1K, 1.5K or 2K and accepts multiple reference images for fusion, holding character and style across them. Unlike the 4.x models and 5.0 Lite it does not do batch or gallery generation, returning one finished image per request. Pricing steps with output size: 2K costs twice the 1K and 1.5K tiers, so draft at the lower tiers and finish at 2K.
