All Image Editing Models
bytedance/seedream-5.0-pro-multi-reference
[Core Function] Seedream 5.0 Pro Multi-Reference is a professional-grade multi-reference image generation (I2I) model that creates a single image from 2-10 reference images plus a text prompt. [Strengths] It excels at reference consistency, preserving characters, styles, and objects across multiple input images while following complex blending instructions with professional-grade quality. [Best For] Highly recommended for: keeping character or style consistency across references, combining subjects from different images into one scene, placing products into reference scenes, and IP-consistent content creation. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model with fewer than 2 or more than 10 reference images, and do NOT use it for batch generation or streaming; it outputs exactly one image per request. [Routing] For single-image editing use Seedream 5.0 Pro Edit; for text-only generation use Seedream 5.0 Pro; choose Seedream 5.0 Lite Edit when up to 14 reference images or batch outputs are needed.
bytedance/seedream-5.0-pro-edit
[Core Function] Seedream 5.0 Pro Edit is a professional-grade single-image editing (I2I) model.

[Best For] Highly recommended for: precise local retouching, adding/removing/replacing objects at exact positions, style transfer of a single photo, and professional post-editing workflows. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for text-to-image generation (an input image is required) or for blending multiple reference images; it accepts exactly one input image and outputs exactly one image (no batch or streaming). [Routing] For 2-10 reference images use Seedream 5.0 Pro Multi-Reference; for pure text-to-image use Seedream 5.0 Pro; choose Seedream 5.0 Lite Edit when batch outputs or more than 10 input images are required.
