Catalog preview for Seedream 5 Pro. Review your own result before publishing.

A starting point.

Plan a product or editorial image from a written brief. Name the subject, framing, light and background separately. This text-to-image endpoint starts from a prompt; choose an editing endpoint when an existing image must be the source.

Try a prompt like this

A ceramic cup on a pale wooden table, viewed at a slight angle. Soft morning light from the left, visible glaze texture, a quiet cream background and space around the cup.

Before you publish.

Compare the generated image with your brief. Inspect the rim, handle and shadows at full size. Keep the prompt and settings with your selected output so you can repeat the experiment.

Review the quote before running. A failed generation releases its reserved credits. Download the results you want to keep; stored media is retained for 30 days.

Inputs and settings

A text prompt is required. This endpoint does not use a source image as its starting input.

Choose image_size for the intended layout. Custom dimensions must total between 1,048,576 and 4,194,304 pixels, with an aspect ratio between 1:16 and 16:1; auto_2K is the default preset.

Start with one image using num_images. Choose JPEG or PNG with output_format, and request a new quote whenever the size or image count changes.

Use Seedream 5 Pro through the API.

Start with this model ID for the endpoint featured on this page:

bytedance/seedream/v5/pro/text-to-image

Input requirements belong to this model ID. Check a different mode’s schema separately when switching modes.

Available modes

Check the current model schema for supported inputs and options. Other tasks may use different model IDs.

From quote to result.

Request a credit quote for your input and settings before submitting a generation. A sample output or the price of another model is not a quote for your request.

Follow the generation workflow, then poll the job for its status and result. The API and studio use the same balance.
