ByteDance Seedream
Run Seedream 4.5, 5.0 and Seedream 5.0 Edit for high-fidelity image generation and instruction-based editing.
Seedream is ByteDance's image family, the still-image counterpart to Seedance. Version 5.0 is the current release, with 4.5 also available, and it competes directly with Flux and Nano Banana on general image quality.
Seedream 5.0 Edit handles instruction-based editing. With 40 ByteDance entries across Seedream and Seedance, it is the largest single provider presence in the catalog.
Standard-tier at 2 credits a generation, which makes it one of the cheaper routes into high-fidelity image work in the catalog.
