Seedream AI Image Generator: Every Version on Zero Kit

ByteDance's Seed team builds Seedream as one model for both generating and editing images. Seedream 4.0 merged text-to-image and image editing into a single architecture. Seedream 4.5 improved consistency and fidelity, keeping faces, lighting and colour from reference images, and got better at typography and dense text. The fifth generation adds reasoning about what an image is for: Seedream 5.0 Lite follows layout and style instructions for posters, slides and product pages, and Seedream 5.0 Pro adds precise interactive editing and layer splitting for detailed design work.

Every version runs from the same editor on Zero Kit, with support for reference images and several images per run. They differ in resolution, reference limits, price per image and the plan they need, and the table below reads all of that from the live model list, so it changes when a price or a plan changes.

All Seedream versions respond well to prompts that say what the image is for and what it must contain: the subject, the text in quotes, the materials and the light. When you work from reference photos, say which one is the subject and which ones only set the style, so the model knows what to keep and what it may change.

A common way to work is to explore on one of the lighter versions, then generate the final image on the version whose strengths match the job. Each version's page has sample prompts, a full price table and tips for writing prompts for that model.
