Seedream 5.0 Lite

ByteDance
by ByteDance

Seedream 5.0 Lite is an advanced image generation model from ByteDance that produces high-quality still images from text prompts while providing flexibility for editing workflows. It is designed to combine expressive creativity with precise control over layout, composition, styles, and details, interpreting nuanced instructions faithfully. Users can incorporate a single reference image to guide generation or editing. Integrated search and reasoning features let the model visualize real-time trends and domain information in the output.

API Options

Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.

taskType

string required value: imageInference

Identifier for the type of task being performed

taskUUID

string required UUID v4

UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.

outputType

string default: URL

Image output type.

Allowed values 3 values

outputFormat

string default: JPG

File format for the generated image.

Allowed values 3 values

outputQuality

integer min: 20 max: 99 default: 95

Compression quality of the output. Higher values preserve quality but increase file size.

webhookURL

string URI

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

deliveryMethod

string default: sync

Determines how the API delivers task results.

Allowed values 2 values

uploadEndpoint

string URI

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

Common use cases:

  • Cloud storage: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
  • CDN integration: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution. 
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint
https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpg

The content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.

safety

object

Properties 2 properties
safety » checkContent

checkContent

boolean default: false

Enable or disable content safety checking. When enabled, defaults to 'fast' mode.

safety » mode

mode

string default: none

Safety checking mode for image generation.
