2 images. First, change to a Japanese manga style, bold black ink lines, speed lines behind the motorcycle, a dynamic action panel, and a comic book aesthetic. Second, change into cyberpunk neon style, glowing neon orange and blue lights on the bike and suit, dark futuristic background, rain and reflections, cyberpunk 2077 aesthetic

2 images. First, The same young man sitting at the desk, but the books behind him start glowing with golden magical light, ancient runes floating out of the open book, his eyes wide with surprise, Harry Potter aesthetic, cinematic. Second, The young man back in the library, book closed, looking shaken at a tiny dragon sleeping on the stack of books beside him, warm cozy lighting, magical realism
Seedream V5.0 Lite Edit Sequential creates a series of images from reference pictures and a text prompt. Explore variations in scenes, styling, and composition for storyboards, product concepts, and visual campaigns.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Describe the images to create, including the desired number and details for each scene. |
| images | Yes | Between 1 and 10 reference image URLs. |
| size | No | Output dimensions in width*height format, such as 2048*2048. Omit for automatic sizing. See Notes. |
| max_images | No | Maximum number of images to generate: 1–15. Default: 1. Reference images and requested outputs must total no more than 15. |
| output_format | No | Output image format: jpeg or png. |
max_images and state the same number in your prompt.size, then choose JPEG or PNG.Price = $0.035 × max_images. Billing is based on the selected max_images value, not the number of images ultimately returned.
| max_images | Total Price |
|---|---|
| 1 | $0.035 |
| 2 | $0.070 |
| 4 | $0.140 |
| 8 | $0.280 |
Supported output sizes, output formats, and reference image count do not add separate charges.
prompt and images are required. Supply image URLs that the service can access.size for automatic sizing; this does not guarantee the same pixel dimensions as the reference image.max_images is an upper limit, not a guarantee of the number of images returned. State the desired count clearly in your prompt.size; separate width and height parameters are not supported.Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedream-v5.0-lite/edit-sequential with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Seedream v5.0 Lite Edit Sequential below.

time.sleep(2)Seedream v5.0 Lite Edit Sequential is a ByteDance model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedream 5.0 Lite Edit Sequential performs multi-image editing while locking character and object identity across shots. It detects main subjects, preserves continuity, and applies controlled edits with up to 4K output. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples for submitting requests and polling results. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedream-v5.0-lite-edit-sequential.
Seedream v5.0 Lite Edit Sequential starts at $0.035 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`, `max_images`, `output_format`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedream-v5.0-lite-edit-sequential.
Reported generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 43 seconds per request. This is an estimate, not a latency guarantee; queue time and input settings can change the total wait. live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
