Seedream 5.0 Pro

ByteDance
by ByteDance

Seedream 5.0 Pro is ByteDance's flagship image generation and editing model for teams that need stronger control than prompt-only workflows provide. It supports text-to-image and reference-guided image editing with up to 10 input images, and is designed for precise local changes using coordinates, masks, bounding boxes, sketches, and material or color instructions. The model also supports multi-image fusion, advanced layer separation, and strong multilingual rendering, making it well suited to design, marketing, e-commerce, and storyboard-driven content production.

API Options

Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.

taskType

stringrequiredvalue: imageInference

Identifier for the type of task being performed

taskUUID

stringrequiredUUID v4

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

outputType

stringdefault: URL

Image output type.

Allowed values3 values

outputFormat

stringdefault: JPG

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

  • `JPG`: Best for photorealistic images with smaller file sizes (no transparency).
  • `PNG`: Lossless compression, supports high quality and transparency (alpha channel).
  • `WEBP`: Modern format providing superior compression and transparency support.
**Transparency**: If you are using features like background removal or LayerDiffuse that require transparency, you must select a format that supports an alpha channel (e.g., `PNG`, `WEBP`, `TIFF`). `JPG` does not support transparency.
Allowed values3 values

outputQuality

integermin: 20max: 99default: 95

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

webhookURL

stringURI

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

stringdefault: sync

Determines how the API delivers task results.

Allowed values2 values
Returns complete results directly in the API response.
Returns an immediate acknowledgment with the task UUID. Poll for results using getResponse.
Learn more1 resource

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.
