    02

    Add your photos

Seedream 5 Flash, also called Seedream 5.0 Flash, is the fast model of ByteDance’s Seedream 5 family, released in September 2026. It makes new images and edits photos, takes up to 10 reference images, outputs images up to 2K and can split a picture into layers

ByteDance released Seedream 5 Flash in September 2026, after Seedream 5 Lite in February and Seedream 5 Pro in July

In Overchat AI Seedream 5 Flash is part of the paid plans. On the Free plan you get daily credits for Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2.5, Grok Imagine Image 2 and Flux 3 Image

Both take up to 10 reference photos, make images up to 2K and can split a picture into layers. Flash makes an image in about 20 seconds, Pro in 40 or more. Pro draws finer detail, so it suits a final picture that will be seen large, like a poster

Seedream 5 Lite came out in February 2026. It can look facts up on the web and takes negative prompts. Seedream 5 Flash came out in September 2026 and keeps most of Seedream 5 Pro’s features, including layers

Yes. It takes a picture apart into a base image and up to 16 separate layers with transparent backgrounds, such as a person, an object, a title or the sky, so you can move or change each one

Up to 10 photos in one prompt. Use them to keep a face or a product the same, or to put things from different photos into one scene

Up to 2K. In Overchat AI you pick 1K or 2K before you generate, and you can upscale the result to 4K afterwards

Yes. Open the result and send it to Seedance, Kling or Veo in the same app, and the picture becomes the first frame of a clip

On this page, in the Overchat AI web app and in the iOS app. Your images and their prompts are saved in your history on every device
