- The model-name button — click to open the list.
- Every version of the family with its price; the tick marks the current one.
| Version | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Seedream 5 Pro | 6 cr. | Flagship: maximum quality and detail |
| Seedream 5 Pro Edit | 6 cr. | Text-driven photo editing, up to 10 references |
| Seedream 5 Lite | 3 cr. | Fast and cheap, has an ultra mode |
When to pick it
- You need a photograph: a person, food, a product, an interior.
- You need to edit a shot with text — Pro Edit.
- You need drafts in bulk — Lite is half the price.
A special setting
All three have Quality: basic, high, and ultra on Lite. Explore on basic, finish on high.
Tip
Seedream understands descriptions of light and optics well: "soft side light", "50 mm, shallow depth of field". Add one phrase like that and the image immediately looks more expensive.
