Why use Seedream 5.0 Flash
Full 2K for the price of a draft
The upstream price is the same at 1K, 1.5K and 2K, so every image here comes out at 2K for 2 credits.
Readable text
Like the rest of the Seedream 5.0 family, it renders signs, labels and short headlines inside the image.
Image editor as well as generator
The same model edits photos: change a background, a material or a style while keeping the composition.
Good first frames for video
Cheap, fast stills are the natural starting point for image-to-video, where most of the cost is.
