The prompts behind the wall
Infographic: A dense, beautifully designed infographic poster titled "THE SOURDOUGH FIELD GUIDE" in a bold condensed serif at the top, with the subtitle "From starter to crumb in 48 hours". Layout on warm off-white paper in a grid: a large labelled cross-section of a sourdough loaf in the center with callouts for "ear", "crust", "open crumb", "scoring line"; a 48-hour timeline strip across the top with icons for "Feed starter", "Autolyse", "Stretch & fold ×4", "Cold proof 14 h", "Bake 250°C"; a small bar chart "Hydration vs crumb" with bars labelled 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%; a troubleshooting table with three rows "Flat loaf", "Gummy crumb", "Pale crust" and short fixes; a flour comparison row with four labelled flour piles. Palette of wheat beige, deep brown, burnt orange and charcoal ink. Editorial print-design quality, all text crisp and correctly spelled, generous margins. Magazine cover: A striking magazine cover for an invented design magazine called "OFF-GRID", issue "No. 14 · Autumn 2026". A cover photograph of a small black timber cabin with a huge glass wall, perched on a mossy cliff above a fjord in low autumn sun, a woman in a rust-colored knit sweater reading on the deck. The masthead "OFF-GRID" runs huge across the top in a heavy grotesque, partly tucked behind the cabin roof. Cover lines in clean white type down the left side: "Cabins that heat themselves", "The 12 m² kitchen", "Living on 400 watts", and a bottom banner "SPECIAL: Nordic Retreats Guide". A barcode in the bottom right corner. Realistic newsstand magazine quality, crisp typography. App screen: A polished mobile app screen design for an invented houseplant shop called "Fernwood", shown flat as a single phone screen, 9:16. A greeting "Good morning, Maya", a search bar "Search 400+ plants", category chips "Low light", "Pet safe", "Big & leafy", "Hanging", a featured card "Plant of the week: Fiddle-Leaf Fig, $48", a two-column grid of four plant cards with names and prices, and a bottom tab bar "Home", "Search", "Care", "Cart". Soft sage green and cream palette, rounded corners, real product-design quality, all text crisp.

One poster, four ways to read it
The same brief, with only the wording translated. Seedream set Chinese characters, Japanese kana and Arabic script, and laid the Arabic out right to left.
The prompt
Event poster, 3:4. A deep indigo night scene of a riverside pier strung with hundreds of glowing paper lanterns in amber, coral and gold above rows of food stalls and small crowds, reflected in the water. Layout: a large title across the top, the illustrated scene in the middle, an information block at the bottom. All text in English. Title: "LANTERN NIGHT MARKET". Subtitle: "Street food · Live music · Handmade crafts". Bottom block: "Fri 13 – Sun 15 November", "6 pm – midnight", "Riverside Pier 4". Rich gouache-and-print illustration style, high contrast, festival energy.
Made with Seedream 5 Pro on Predis.ai on October 26 and 27, 2026, 1K, 3:4. Each language is its own run from text, so the scene shifts a little between them. Have a native reader check any script you can't read yourself.
Zoom in and read the small print
Dense layouts are where Seedream earns its keep: timeline labels, chart values, a troubleshooting table. Move over the poster to read it up close, typo included. The subtitle came out as "stater" instead of "starter".
ByteDance says fine text is still the part it's improving, so proofread anything you'll print.
Skin, flour, a real laugh
Seedream also handles photographs of people. We asked for two women and three men and got one woman and four men, a reminder to check the details of a busy brief.
The prompt
A warm, candid group portrait photograph of the five-person team of an invented neighborhood bakery, standing together in front of their open shop counter early in the morning. Two women and three men of different ages and backgrounds, in linen aprons dusted with flour; one holds a big round sourdough loaf, one holds a tray of croissants, the eldest baker laughs with his arm around a younger colleague. Behind them, shelves of bread and a chalk menu board, soft window light, natural skin texture, real expressions, shallow depth of field, 35mm documentary style, horizontal 4:3.

It starts from words
On Predis.ai, Seedream 5 Pro works from a written prompt only, in 1K or 2K, in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4, up to 4 images at a time. To start from a photo of your product, Seedream 4.5 and Seedream 5 Lite take reference images.
What to check before you post
Fine text
ByteDance says small text is still improving, and our guide misspelled one word. Read every line.
Long briefs lose details
Early users report elements dropped from long prompts, and our group shot changed who was in it. Put the details that matter first.
Background faces
Faces at the back of a crowd can come out soft or blurred. Keep the people who matter near the front.
Real logos can slip in
Users have seen real brands appear on signs in busy street scenes. Ask for invented names, as every image here did.
Seedream 5 Pro questions
What is Seedream 5 Pro?
It's ByteDance Seed's image model, launched on July 8, 2026, also known as Seedream 5.0 Pro. ByteDance built it to understand design, so it's at its best on layouts packed with text and structure: infographics, posters, menus and app screens.
Which languages can Seedream 5 Pro write in?
Chinese and English, plus more than ten others according to ByteDance, including Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish and Arabic, with Arabic laid out right to left. The lantern poster on this page was made in English, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic.
Can I use my own photos with Seedream 5 Pro on Predis.ai?
Not with this model. On Predis.ai, Seedream 5 Pro works from a written prompt only. To start from your own photo, Seedream 4.5 and Seedream 5 Lite take reference images and sit next to it in the Model Studio.
What sizes does it make on Predis.ai?
1K or 2K, in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4. You can make up to 4 images from one prompt.
Is Seedream 5 Pro good for photos of people?
Yes, ByteDance points to its lighting and skin texture, and the bakery team on this page shows it. In busy group shots, keep an eye on the faces in the background, which early users say can blur.
How is Seedream 5 Pro different from Seedream 5 Lite?
Pro is the one built for design layouts and multilingual text. Lite is lighter and, on Predis.ai, also takes reference images. Both are in the Model Studio.
