Seedream is ByteDance Seed's family of image generation models, which create and edit pictures from text in English and Chinese.
In plain words
Seedream 3.0, from April 2025, focused on following complex prompts, drawing clean text inside images and producing higher resolutions. Seedream 4.0 put image creation and image editing into one model and can output images up to 4K. A later version, Seedream 5.0 Pro, adds reasoning so it can lay out text-heavy pictures such as infographics.
A quick example
Imagine uploading a photo and typing a plain instruction such as "Remove the boy in this picture." Seedream 4.0 is built to handle this kind of edit in the same model that creates new images.
Where you'll meet it
- Posters, infographics and illustrations with text.
- Photo editing by plain-language instructions.
