Seedream 5.0 Lite FAQ
Why is it so cheap?
It is ByteDance's efficiency tier: one flat per-image price at any size. You give up GIF and vector output and a little polish versus the flagships — for everyday generation it is the best value in the studio.
Can it work from reference images?
Yes — up to 10 references for composites and edits: merge scenes, restyle a subject, or hold a product consistent across shots.
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes — paid plans include a commercial license for the images you generate: ads, packaging, client work, merchandise. As everywhere, don't use it to imitate real brands, products or people you don't have the rights to.
Which formats and sizes can I export?
JPEG or PNG, at practically any width × height up to 4K — useful for odd slots like storefront banners, app screenshots and story formats.
