Seedream 5 Lite fits image tasks that need information organization, reference understanding, structural accuracy, and visual explanation instead of simple style exploration.

Reference-driven editing
Upload product shots, sketches, layout examples, style references, or source photos to preserve key elements while changing material, scene, style, or composition.
Useful for product explainers
Turn product functions, usage steps, selling points, package structure, or service flows into clearer visuals for product pages, landing pages, and sales decks.
Supports marketing content
Create campaign posters, social graphics, ad drafts, blog visuals, brand assets, and localized content, then refine copy, layout, and visual emphasis.
Control ratio and quality
Choose ratios such as 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, or 21:9, and switch between Basic and High quality so output better matches the target channel.
