Create fast 2K and 4K images with Seedream 5.0 Lite
Seedream 5.0 Lite is a ByteDance image model for creators who need sharp results without a heavy workflow. Use it for text-to-image generation or image-to-image editing, choose a flexible aspect ratio, and switch between basic 2K quality and high 4K quality directly in the generator.

Text-to-image and image-to-image in one lightweight workflow
Seedream 5.0 Lite gives Nano AI Maker users a practical way to create professional visuals from prompts or uploaded reference images. It supports the same core creative loop designers already expect: describe the scene, choose the canvas shape, select quality, generate, then refine with image-to-image edits when a reference asset matters.
Seedream 5.0 Lite generation
Turn product ideas, campaign concepts, character prompts, and visual directions into polished images with strong prompt interpretation and reliable composition.
Image editing from references
Upload a source image and guide the edit with natural language. The image-to-image mode is suited for restyling, material changes, visual cleanup, and controlled creative variations.
Basic and high quality modes
Use basic quality for fast 2K output when exploring ideas, or high quality for 4K images when the result needs more detail for presentation, landing pages, product visuals, or campaign assets.
Flexible aspect ratios
Create square posts, portrait stories, landscape banners, vertical ads, product cards, and cinematic frames with 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3, 3:2, and 21:9 aspect ratios.
