What is Seedream?

With the launch of Seedream 3.0 API, ByteDance expands its generative AI portfolio by introducing one of the world’s most advanced and aesthetic-driven image generation models. Ranked first in global benchmarks on the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, Seedream stands out for its unmatched ability to combine stylistic diversity, precision, and realism. The model supports native 2K resolution output, enabling photorealistic images, cinematic-style shots, and finely detailed design elements without relying on post-processing. Compared to previous models, it achieves a breakthrough in character realism, capturing authentic facial expressions, natural skin textures, and lifelike hair that elevate portraits and avatars beyond the uncanny valley. Seedream also features enhanced semantic understanding, allowing it to handle complex typography, multi-font poster creation, and long-text design layouts with designer-level polish. In editing workflows, its image-to-image engine follows prompts with remarkable accuracy, preserves critical details, and adapts seamlessly to aspect ratios and stylistic adjustments. These strengths make it a powerful choice for industries ranging from advertising and e-commerce to gaming, animation, and media production. Its pricing is simple and accessible, at just $0.03 per image, and every new user receives 200 free generations to experiment without upfront cost. Built with scalability in mind, the API delivers fast response times and high concurrency, making it practical for enterprise-level content production. By combining creativity, fidelity, and affordability, Seedream empowers individuals and organizations alike to shorten production cycles, reduce costs, and deliver consistently high-quality visuals.
