Seedream 5 ProAI image generator
Consistent people, logical scenes. Pay only for the takes you keep — kill the rest for a full refund.
Seedream 5 Pro is ByteDance's flagship image model, released July 8, 2026 by the Seed team. It is known for consistent people, logical scenes, photoreal portraits, dense infographics with readable type, and native in-image text in over ten languages. On Elyum it is text to image and image editing, with five aspect ratios.
Use it when a face, product, or layout has to hold across a set — character sheets, campaign stills, packaging comps, and localized posters. One credit balance across 50+ models, from a Free plan with 150 starter credits up to Ultra, plus top-ups. Also runs from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor through Elyum's MCP server and REST API.

Why Seedream 5 Pro is good
Known for keeping the same face, product, or object consistent across new poses, outfits, and scenes. That is the job people pick Seedream 5 Pro for when a campaign needs a matching set.
ByteDance listed structural coherence as a core upgrade on July 8, 2026. Rooms, products, and multi-subject frames keep perspective and lighting that match, instead of a collage of disconnected parts.
ByteDance built Pro for complex information visualization: charts, labels, and headlines in one frame. Native in-image text in over ten languages, including Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.
Official materials highlight real-world lighting, materials, and skin texture. People use it for photographic portraits, product stills, and CG-style character art.
On Elyum you generate from a prompt or attach a still and edit it. Five aspect ratios cover feed, story, and landscape crops. Same 4-credit keep price either way.
Credits charge only when you keep a take: 4 credits ($0.04) per render. Kill the rest and they refund in full. Kept downloads are clean, full quality, and watermark-free.
