How it works

Describe your image
1

Describe your image

Start with the subject, format, style, lighting, and any text that should appear in the image. For complex layouts, describe the sections and reading order instead of relying on a vague one-line prompt.

Add references and constraints
2

Add references and constraints

Use reference images when you want a specific layout, product, person, pose, or style to guide the result. Add constraints for typography, language, colors, aspect ratio, and what should stay unchanged during edits.

Generate and refine
3

Generate and refine

Review the result for text accuracy, composition, faces, and details. If something is close, ask for a targeted edit instead of rewriting the whole prompt from the beginning.

Fantasy oil painting. Close-up on a beautiful blonde female elf. She has a skimpy leather loincloth and skimpy leather bra. She has large breasts. She is covered in elven war paint. She is happy and petting a fawn. She looks at the viewer. Fantasy scene.@TTRPG_Player
A captivating full-body charcoal sketch of a woman styled as a classic pin-up model, inspired by Old Hollywood glamour. She stands facing away from the viewer, captured in a 2/3 angle with a flirtatious, coy gaze over her shoulder. Soft, diffused lighting casts a warm glow across her face, highlighting her delicate features and creating a romantic vintage atmosphere. The composition uses bold charcoal lines, expressive shading, and smooth tonal blending, with a rich dark-cream palette that complements her sparkling studded white necklace with subtle golden undertones. The overall mood is elegant, sensual, dreamy, and cinematic, with a refined vintage illustration feel and dramatic hand-drawn texture.@Bobbie

A semi-realistic digital 3D anime illustration of an ethereal traveler, their form composed of swirling stardust, navigates a labyrinth of ancient, glowing runes. The path beneath their feet is a tapestry of intricate embroidery, with threads of moonlight and shadow weaving complex patterns. The overall aesthetic is dreamlike, blending soft focus with sharp, detailed needlework. No speckled noise, random particles, or visual artifacts.@Bobbie
A fusion of Alphonse Mucha+John William Waterhouse+tonalism where subjects display idealized naturalism with soft edges against atmospheric, textured backgrounds. Harmonious color schemes emphasize a dominant hue with strategic complementary accents, employing colorful pen and ink cross hatching techniques that vary between smooth blending and visible brushwork to create depth and focus while preserving the essence of the original elements. 1980s femme fatale seated on a hotel bed, moonlight through Venetian blinds casting striped shadows, confident gaze, glossy curls, sheer organza decolete dress, decoletage, vintage jewelry, noir chiaroscuro, rendered in messy mid-century ink-blot style: rough multi-colored, dry-brush strokes, ink splatter, cream paper texture, muted accent color, imperfect lines, ink bleed, smudges, and misaligned flat color blocks.@NielsCarlsen

Luminous atmospheric landscape rendering with glowing internal light and deep aerial perspective, combined with hyper-saturated cobalt-and-amber color grading and seamless double-exposure compositing, creating a dreamlike surreal fusion. The result should manifest as a circular vignette of blended realities, radiating motion-blur light streaks, soft painterly grain, and cinematic contrast between warm and cool tones. A sweeping composite wilderness with jagged sunlit peaks and a radiant glowing sun cresting the ridgeline, layered evergreen forests rising in the foreground, arranged in stacked overlapping planes that merge mountain, beach, and water into one continuous surreal vista. Scene set in a boundless mountain-and-coast panorama during golden sunset, with drifting misty clouds and warm hazy air, featuring a curving sandy shoreline, turquoise-to-deep-blue water, silhouetted pines, and a vast circular frame ringed by streaking rays of light against an open sky.@justrob

4K ultra polished cel-shaded anime, visual language in the style of Project SEKAI, cinematic dynamic low-angle wide shot. A female protagonist character with teal-green twin ponytails, facial features similar to Hatsune Miku, stands proud with a sharp defiant half-smirk, wind whipping glowing cyan twin tails. Scuffed cyber uniform marked with faint static smudges, heavy pump-action shotgun slung loose over one shoulder, one combat boot planted firm atop a glitching digital zombie. Behind her, a distant horde of twitching pixelated zombies looms in a SEKAI-style digital void: glowing neon grid flooring, floating cracked data shards, thin rolling static haze. Dramatic cyan + magenta rim lighting, hard crisp cinematic shadows, electric neon palette, tense triumphant atmosphere, subtle clean digital grain, sharp cel linework, perfectly balanced framing.@EternaSky
Cinematic photorealistic 4K action photograph, eye-level over-the-shoulder framing. Hatsune Miku as a focused young Japanese woman, signature turquoise twin tails, fitted iconic black-and-white vocaloid uniform, standing in a dim indoor concrete shooting range. She holds a matte black tactical 12-gauge shotgun, cheek welded firmly, one eye closed aiming down iron sights, quiet determined expression, faint wisp of fresh gunsmoke curling at the muzzle. Soft overhead range floodlights, warm amber safety beacons, blurred paper target stands receding into hazy background. Sharp depth of field locked on her face and sights, cool grey concrete textures, dramatic cinematic side lighting, subtle film grain, ultra-detailed surface textures, professional action photography aesthetic.@EternaSky
Photorealistic, hyper-detailed, cinematic "Parallel Lives" masterpiece. Dramatic low-angle composition beneath an ancient, gnarled oak tree at the magical blue hour of twilight. At the center stands one breathtakingly beautiful woman with luminous iridescent Morpho butterfly wings, her face, hairstyle, eye color, and unique facial features serving as the unmistakable visual anchor of the artwork. Warm golden bioluminescent light radiates from her body, softly illuminating the surrounding scene. Suspended from the tree's sprawling branches hang six large, translucent crystalline chrysalises, each containing the exact same woman—identical face, identical hair, identical body proportions, identical butterfly-wing markings and recognizable features—clearly showing alternate versions of her, not different people. Each alternate self wears different clothing and lives a different destiny while remaining instantly recognizable as the same woman. Inside the glowing chrysalises appear: the same woman as a compassionate surgeon in teal scrubs, the same woman lovingly cradling her newborn child, the same woman as a courageous firefighter in full turnout gear, the same woman as a dedicated police officer in uniform, the same woman performing as an elegant stage singer beneath brilliant theater lights, the same woman as a peaceful nun in flowing robes, and nearby, the same woman seated before an easel, creating a magnificent painting. Brilliant golden and iridescent timeline threads spiral gracefully between every chrysalis and the central woman, visually connecting each alternate destiny into one shared soul. Ethereal light particles, floating butterfly scales, shimmering stardust, and glowing wisps drift through the air, symbolizing infinite possibilities, parallel timelines, roads not taken, and the many versions of a single life. The atmosphere is reverent, emotional, and dreamlike, with deep indigo twilight contrasting against radiant warm gold, sapphire, emerald, and violet illumination. Extraordinary volumetric lighting, cinematic depth of field, atmospheric bloom, ultra-realistic textures, breathtaking realism, award-winning fantasy realism, masterpiece composition, 8K, razor-sharp focus, museum-quality digital painting. Title: The Many Lives of Me Render the title in small, elegant gold cursive on the lower portion of the canvas, seamlessly integrated into the painted texture with a subtle impasto effect, appearing hand-painted into the artwork itself.@archangeltara
CHARACTER MODEL SHEET — "DAWEI — THE FATHER". Design consistent for reuse. A single reference sheet on a plain warm off-white page: one large main portrait (waist-up, three-quarter view, neutral expression), a small front-view and profile-view turnaround of the same man beside it, and a row of small colour swatches of his palette along the bottom. Title it "DAWEI — THE FATHER" in brush lettering, with a short handwritten note: "Aged 48. Fei's father. Keeps the peace by saying nothing." DAWEI — 48, British-Chinese, the father, a Chinese immigrant in suburban London. He is the FATHER of the girl in the attached reference image (Fei) — carry a FAMILY RESEMBLANCE: her long straight nose and her brow. Thinning black hair, wire-rimmed glasses, a soft face gone tired. Warm and quietly funny, but conflict-avoidant — the man at the table who laughs a beat too loudly to smooth things over, and who will not defend his daughter against her mother. Dressed in a cheap oatmeal-brown jumper over a shirt collar, sleeves a little short. IMPORTANT — his palette must be OATMEAL BROWN and warm grey, NOT sage green (Fei), NOT plum (the mother), NOT indigo (the grandmother). Everyone at this dinner table must be tellable apart at a glance. Style: Brushflow ink-and-wash — delicate East Asian ink-wash painting, Ikenaga Yasunari portraiture with Huang Guangjian's ink linework, luminous digital finish, visible brush and paper texture, warm off-white paper. Flat 2D hand-painted illustration. Full-bleed, no border. 16:9.@justrob
CHARACTER MODEL SHEET — "NAINAI — THE GRANDMOTHER". Design consistent for reuse. A single reference sheet on a plain warm off-white page: one large main portrait (waist-up, three-quarter view, neutral expression), a small front-view and profile-view turnaround of the same woman beside it, and a row of small colour swatches of her palette along the bottom. Title it "NAINAI — THE GRANDMOTHER" in brush lettering, with a short handwritten note: "Aged 72. Fei's grandmother. Speaks little. Feeds instead." NAINAI — 72, Chinese, the paternal grandmother, born in China and living with the family in London. She is the GRANDMOTHER of the girl in the attached reference image (Fei) — carry a clear FAMILY RESEMBLANCE through three generations: the same eye shape and jawline, seventy years on. Silver-grey hair pulled back into a neat low bun. A face that has worked. Deeply lined, watchful, unsentimental — she is NOT a cute cartoon granny and NOT a frail victim; she is the toughest person at the table, and she says almost nothing. Dressed in a quilted indigo-blue Chinese jacket (a simple mandarin collar) over dark trousers. Hands strong and capable, the hands of someone who has cooked for fifty years. IMPORTANT — her palette must be INDIGO BLUE and slate, NOT sage green (Fei wears sage green) and NOT plum (the mother wears plum). Each woman at this dinner table must be tellable apart at a glance. Style: Brushflow ink-and-wash — delicate East Asian ink-wash painting, Ikenaga Yasunari portraiture with Huang Guangjian's ink linework, luminous digital finish, visible brush and paper texture, warm off-white paper. Flat 2D hand-painted illustration. Full-bleed, no border. 16:9.@justrob
Use the attached character model sheet as the exact basis. KEEP the woman completely unchanged — same face, same age, same tired handsome features, same short pinned-back black hair, same layout (large main portrait + front view + profile turnaround + colour swatches along the bottom + the "Design consistent for reuse" caption). CHANGE ONLY HER CLOTHING AND HER SWATCHES. She must NOT wear sage green — her daughter Fei wears the sage-green cardigan, and at a crowded dinner table the two would be impossible to tell apart. Dress her instead in a DUSTY ROSE / faded plum knitted cardigan, worn over a pale cream blouse, sleeves pushed up as if she has been cooking. Cheap, soft, much-washed, comfortable. Update the palette swatches along the bottom to match her new colours (ink black, dusty rose, faded plum, cream, pale skin, blue-grey). Keep the title text "XIAOYAN — THE MOTHER" and her description. Style: Brushflow ink-and-wash — delicate East Asian ink-wash painting, Ikenaga Yasunari portraiture with Huang Guangjian's ink linework, luminous digital finish, visible brush and paper texture, warm off-white paper. Flat 2D hand-painted illustration. Full-bleed, no border. 16:9.@justrob
Richly impastoed oil-painting technique with visible directional brushstrokes and luminous glazed layering, combined with soft atmospheric blending and warm-to-cool color harmonies, creating a romantic painterly fusion. The result should manifest as a hand-painted landscape with tactile canvas texture, overlaid by faint translucent streaks of brushed light that veil the entire scene like a ghosted double exposure, drawn over mountains, clouds, and water in loose expressive strokes. A sweeping composite wilderness with jagged sunlit peaks and a radiant glowing sun cresting the ridgeline, layered evergreen forests rising in the foreground, arranged in stacked overlapping planes that softly dissolve mountain, beach, and water into one continuous painted vista, with pale light-streaks passing translucently across the peaks. Scene set in a boundless mountain-and-coast panorama during golden sunset, with drifting misty clouds and warm hazy air, featuring a curving sandy shoreline, turquoise-to-deep-blue water, silhouetted pines, and a vast circular frame where radiating brushed light-streaks intensify at the edges and fade softly inward over the landscape.@justrob

How does Seedream 5.0 Pro work?▾
You describe the image you want, and the model interprets the prompt with visual reasoning before generating the result. It can also use existing images as context for edits, transformations, and layout-aware changes when the workflow supports image input.
How much does Seedream 5.0 Pro cost?▾
Generation costs are credit-based and can vary by image size, mode, and current platform settings. Check the workshop before running large batches so you understand how many credits each generation or edit will use.
How does Seedream 5.0 Pro compare to other AI image generators?▾
Seedream 5.0 Pro is especially useful for structured, production-oriented image work. Its strongest fit is complex prompts, information-dense layouts, realistic lighting, guided edits, and multilingual creative assets rather than simple one-off art experiments.
Can I use Seedream 5.0 Pro images commercially?▾
Commercial use can depend on the platform terms, provider terms, and the content you include in your prompts or reference images. For client or brand work, review the current terms, avoid infringing inputs, and keep your own records of prompts and assets used.
Does Seedream 5.0 Pro render text well?▾
Seedream 5.0 Pro is designed for text-rich images such as infographics, posters, notices, and educational layouts. As with any image model, you should proofread generated text carefully, especially for small labels, dense paragraphs, names, dates, and legal or medical content.
What resolutions and aspect ratios does Seedream 5.0 Pro support?▾
Use the aspect ratio and size options shown in the image workshop for the current model configuration. It is well suited to square, portrait, and widescreen compositions, including social posts, posters, presentation graphics, and landing-page visuals.
Does Seedream 5.0 Pro support reference images?▾
Yes. Seedream 5.0 Pro can use existing images as visual context for editing and transformation workflows, including layouts, sketches, marked regions, and style references when supported by the interface.
Can Seedream 5.0 Pro edit existing images?▾
Yes. The model is built for interactive editing as well as generation, including changes guided by annotations, spatial instructions, and sketch-like input. It is a good fit for revising interiors, posters, product scenes, portraits, and other assets that need targeted adjustments.
What prompts work best with Seedream 5.0 Pro?▾
Use specific prompts that define the subject, composition, lighting, materials, text, language, and intended format. For infographics or posters, describe the layout structure and text hierarchy; for edits, state what should change and what must remain the same.
Does SeeDream 5.0 Pro have an API?▾
Yes — SeeDream 5.0 Pro is available through the BudgetPixel developer API via the `POST /v1/images/seedream-5.0-pro` endpoint, supporting text-to-image, and image editing / references. Generate an API key from the developer console (available on Premium plans and above) and see the full reference at docs.budgetpixel.com.
How much does the SeeDream 5.0 Pro API cost?▾
