Best Use Cases

Single-image editing — Edit one source image with natural-language instructions.
Multi-reference composition — Use multiple images to guide complex edits and visual combinations.
Product image editing — Refine product visuals, backgrounds, styles, and presentation.
Character and style guidance — Use reference images to preserve identity, outfit, mood, or visual style.

Pro Tips

Use clear prompts that describe both what should change and what should remain unchanged.
Use multiple reference images when identity, product details, or style consistency matters.
Leave aspect_ratio empty when you want the output to follow the closest supported ratio from the first input image.
Choose 1k for lower-cost editing and fast iteration.
Choose 2k when you need higher-resolution final output.
Use jpeg for general-purpose edited images and png when PNG output is needed.

Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedream-v5.0-pro/edit with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedream-v5.0-pro/edit" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "aspect_ratio": "1:1",
    "resolution": "1k",
    "output_format": "jpeg",
    "enable_sync_mode": false,
    "enable_base64_output": false
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("bytedance/seedream-v5.0-pro/edit", {
        "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
        "aspect_ratio": "1:1",

        "output_format": "jpeg",
        "enable_sync_mode": false,
        "enable_base64_output": false
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "bytedance/seedream-v5.0-pro/edit",

Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit API?

Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit is a ByteDance model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Seedream 5.0 Pro Edit by ByteDance edits and generates images from single-image or multi-reference inputs, supporting up to 10 reference images, aspect ratio selection, and 1K / 2K output tiers. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit API?

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 prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/bytedance/bytedance-seedream-v5.0-pro-edit.

How much does Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit cost per run?

Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit starts at $0.045 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.

What inputs does Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`. 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-pro-edit.

How do I get started with the Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use Seedream v5.0 Pro Edit outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ByteDance). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
