API README
Seedream 5.0 Flash Editing
Seedream 5.0 Flash Editing is the speed-and-volume tier of ByteDance Seedream 5.0. It edits a supplied image or fuses up to 10 reference images according to a written instruction, keeping the identity and composition that should stay stable. Typical generation time is about 15–20 seconds, which makes it a practical default for iteration, campaign variants, and high-volume pipelines; use Seedream 5.0 Pro when maximum fidelity matters more than speed.
Highlights
- Fast turnaround. Around 15–20 seconds per image, several times faster than Seedream 5.0 Pro.
- One flat price. Every image costs the same regardless of aspect ratio, and reference images are free.
- Instruction-led composition. The prompt coordinates subject, setting, style, layout, and requested text.
- Multi-image fusion. Combine up to 10 reference images in one request.
Pricing
| Configuration | Billing unit | Price |
