Seedream 5 Lite Is Here

Note: Seedream 5 Lite is powered by ByteDance ModelArk (seedream-5-0-lite-260128).

We have launched Seedream 5 Lite across the product, so you can use one high-quality model for image generation, image editing, and static ad creation.

Why This Matters

Seedream 5 Lite is built for creative teams that need polished outputs fast:

• Sharper Prompt Following: Complex instructions are interpreted more accurately, so your output matches your intent.
• Stronger Creative Quality: Cleaner layout, better composition, and more production-ready visuals.
• Better Reference Consistency: Brand style, product details, and visual cues are preserved more reliably when using reference images.
• One Model Across Workflows: Move from idea to edits to final ad creatives without switching model families.

What's New

• New model option: bytedance-seedream-5-lite is now available in image model selection.
• Image generation support: Use Seedream 5 Lite for text-to-image and reference-based generation.
• Image editing support: Use Seedream 5 Lite for single or multi-reference edit workflows.
• Static ads support: Seedream 5 Lite is now available in static ad generation and regeneration flows.

How It Works

Choose Seedream 5 Lite anywhere you select an image model (generation, editing, or static ads), then add your prompt and optional reference images. The model is optimized for high-fidelity outputs and marketing-ready creative quality with minimal setup.

This release is focused on helping you ship better visuals faster with less prompt iteration.
