About this model
Seedream 5.0 Pro Edit is ByteDance's flagship image-editing model, extending Seedream 5.0 Lite Edit with a larger visual reasoning backbone. It accepts one or more reference images plus a natural-language instruction and produces a modified image at up to 2K resolution, holding lighting, color, and character consistency across the edit. Pro is aimed at professional and production use cases — style transfer, background swaps, object modification, and multi-image composition — where fidelity and prompt adherence matter more than raw generation speed. It sits alongside Seedream 5.0 Pro Text to Image as the higher-tier option in the Seedream family.

1KDeveloper documentation
Provide reference images: Pass one or more image URLs in images_list. The first input image is included in the base price; each additional reference image adds a small surcharge.
Write an edit instruction: Describe the change you want — style, background, object, lighting — as a natural-language prompt.
Choose an aspect ratio: Pick from 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 2:3, or 3:2. Note that 16:9 and 9:16 do not support 2K resolution.
Select resolution: Use 2K for maximum fidelity, or 1K for faster, lower-cost iterations.
Submit and poll: Generation requests follow the same async pattern as every muapi model — submit a job, then poll request_id for the result.
