What Seedream 5.0 does well

Seedream 5.0 Lite is ByteDance's image model. Its Kreavo model card reads: smart reasoning plus web search, advanced typography, 3K. It supports reference images, image editing, multi-image input and two distinct person references, in seven aspect ratios including 4:5 and 21:9. Seedream 4.5 is the previous flagship, described with 4K output and multi-reference support, with reference-image and image-edit support in the same seven ratios. Both share your product and AI influencer assets with every video model on Kreavo, so a Seedream still can become the first frame of a Seedance 2.5 or Kling 3.0 clip.

• Smart reasoning and web search in the generation step
• Advanced typography for text inside the image
• 3K output (Seedream 4.5: 4K)
• Reference images, image edit, multi-image input, two distinct people
• Aspect ratios 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16, 3:4, 4:3 and 21:9
