Seedream 5.0
An online AI image generation platform that creates visual works from text descriptions or uploaded images, billed via a credit system.
About Seedream 5.0
Seedream 5.0 is an online AI image generation tool officially described as powered by ByteDance's Seedream 5.0 model. Users enter a text description (up to 500 characters) to generate an image; they can also upload an image in JPG, PNG, or WEBP format (up to 10MB) to use alongside the description. Multiple aspect ratios are available at generation time (such as 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 16:9), along with watermark-free and private generation options. Images are generated in seconds, with resolution up to Seedream 4k, and generation speed depends on the complexity of the description. The platform uses a credit system: each generation costs 10 credits, new free users receive 60 credits upon sign-up, and paid plans provide 1,000–10,000 credits per month—users can keep generating as long as they have sufficient credits.
