What it's like to use
Seedream 5.0 Lite is the preset-size tier of ByteDance's Seedream 5.0: you pick one of eight fixed 2K frames, from a 2048×2048 square to a 3136×1344 banner strip, and the picture is composed for that exact size. That keeps a whole illustration set in one shape, and edits can combine up to ten reference images.
Good for
- Illustration and card sets that share one frame size
- 4:3 and 3:4 print comps and layout mock-ups
- Site heroes and storefront banners composed for the strip
