Seedream 5.0 Flash workflows
Image editing and layers
Use reference images for controlled edits, or separate a flat image into a base image and independent transparent layers.
Seedream 5.0 Flash Features
Fast image creation, precise editing, and reusable layers
Faster generation
Create polished images quickly for briefs that call for frequent iterations. The lower-cost Flash workflow suits campaign concepts, social content, product explorations, and other projects where teams need to try several visual directions before choosing one.
High-quality images
Turn a detailed natural-language prompt into realistic scenes, illustrations, product visuals, posters, and social graphics. Choose 1K for quick drafts or 2K when a finished image needs finer detail; layer projects also offer a 1.5K size.
Precise edits
Point to the exact area you want to change with coordinates, bounding boxes, arrows, or other visual marks. Replace an object, refine a selected region, adjust small details, or add new content while keeping the rest of the image under control.
Multiple references
Bring together up to 10 reference images in one editing task. Combine a subject, a product, a visual style, and a composition to guide a result that stays closer to the creative brief across repeated variations.
Layer decomposition
Turn a flat finished image into a base image and as many as 16 separate transparent layers. Open each returned image from My creations, then move, resize, replace, or refine individual visual elements in your design workflow.
Multilingual visuals
Create localized posters, ads, and social graphics for different markets. Seedream 5.0 Flash can work with visual content across languages including Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic.
