ByteDance's fast Seedream tier in Imgo — 2K output from text and up to 10 reference images, at one flat price
Seedream 5.0 Flash is the Seedream model in Imgo's generator today, served through Volcengine Ark. It generates one image per run at 1K, 1.5K or 2K from a text prompt, guided by up to 10 reference images, in the Image Generator and on Canvas. Every run costs 2 credits whatever resolution you pick, and the generator quotes it before you submit.

Practical value mapped to real production workflows.
Benefit
01
Ten references in one run
Attach a product, a logo, a character and style frames — up to 10 images in one request — and describe in the prompt what each one is for. Seedream 5.0 Flash composes the new image from your text and the references together, so packaging, brand colors and faces stay yours.
Benefit
02
One flat price at any resolution
1K drafts, 1.5K checks and 2K finals all cost 2 credits — there is no resolution surcharge to plan around. The generator shows the exact quote before each run.
Benefit
03
Presets or an exact size
Pick an aspect preset or set a custom size anywhere between a 1:16 and a 16:1 ratio, inside the model's pixel budget. Output comes back as PNG or JPEG.
Recommended workflow
A simple three-step path from source material to a reusable result.
Step 1
Choose Flash
Open the Image Generator — or a Canvas — with Seedream 5.0 Flash selected, then pick a resolution and an aspect ratio.
Step 2
Prompt and attach references
Describe the subject, setting and light, and attach up to 10 reference images when the result has to match a real product, brand or character.
Step 3
Iterate, then hand off
Each run returns one image, so refine the prompt until it lands. Take the keeper into the Image Editor, or use it as the start frame of a Seedance video.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Seedream 5.0 Flash and Lite?
Flash is the Seedream tier in Imgo's generator today: fast, up to 2K, ten reference images. Lite is the lite tier of the same family — this page reads its availability from the live catalog, and Seedream 5.0 Flash has its own page.
How much does Seedream 5.0 Flash cost?
2 credits per image at 1K, 1.5K or 2K. The generator shows the quote before each run.
Can it edit an existing image?
Reference-guided generation, yes: attach the image as a reference and describe the change in the prompt. Layer decomposition, transparent-background output and web search are not part of this model on Imgo.
How many images does it return per run?
One. Run it again for more variants, or switch to Nano Banana 2 when you want several candidates from one prompt.
