Seedream 5.0 lite — the latest image generation model from ByteDance Seed team
Use the model parameter to select doubao-seedream-5-0
Supports text-to-image, image-to-image, and multi-reference generation
New web search capability for real-time knowledge-enhanced generation
Supports 2K and 3K resolution output
Async task management, query results by task ID

Important Change: For better performance and cost control, we no longer support passing base64 image data directly in image_urls. Please use the Upload Image API first to upload images and get URLs, then call this endpoint.

integer

default:1

Number of images to generateRange: 1-15 (minimum 1, maximum 15)Default: 1Note:

The total of reference images + generated images must be ≤ 15
Must enter a plain number (e.g., 1), do not use quotes or it will cause an error

Charges will be pre-deducted based on the number

string

default:"2K"

Image resolutionSupported resolutions:

2K - Standard resolution (default)
3K - High definition

Note: Seedream 5.0 does not support 1K or 4K resolution

Resolution reference sizes:

Resolution	1:1 Size	16:9 Size
2K	2048×2048	2848×1600
3K	3072×3072	4096×2304

Total pixel range: 2560×1440 ~ 3072×3072×1.1025 (~10.4 MP)

string

default:"disabled"

Sequential image generation mode (Doubao-specific feature)Controls whether to generate multiple images:

disabled: Disable sequential mode, generates only 1 image even with multiple reference images (default)
auto: Enable sequential mode, can generate multiple images

Usage Notes:

✅ Set n: 3 or use sequential_image_generation: "auto" + max_images: 3
✅ Supports text-to-image sets: up to 15 images from text prompt only
✅ Supports image-to-image sets: provide image_urls to generate multiple variations
⚠️ When n > 1, it will automatically be set to auto

Note:

Total reference images + generated images must be ≤ 15

Example:

"sequential_image_generation_options": { "max_images": 3 }

boolean

default:false

Whether to add a watermark to the generated image

true: Add watermark
false: No watermark (default)
