Question 1

What is Seedream AI and who makes it?

Accepted Answer

Seedream is a family of AI image generation models created by ByteDance (the company behind TikTok and Dreamina). It generates photorealistic images from text prompts and can edit existing images using natural language instructions. VicSee offers Seedream 4.5 and 5.0 Lite as free online tools.

Question 2

What is the difference between Seedream 4.5 and 5.0 Lite?

Accepted Answer

Seedream 4.5 is the typography king — excellent text rendering for posters, labels, and small font, ideal for print-ready content. Seedream 5.0 is the intelligence king — real-time web search, visual reasoning, and example-based style transfer. Both cost 15 credits per image, output up to 4K resolution, and support text-to-image and image-to-image editing.

Question 3

How much does Seedream cost on VicSee?

Accepted Answer

Both Seedream 4.5 and 5.0 cost 15 credits per image — the same price for both 2K and 4K quality. Free accounts include credits to get started. No credit card required.

Question 4

Can Seedream generate images with text in them?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Seedream 4.5 is particularly strong at rendering readable text in images — movie posters, product labels, packaging, signs, and small-font typography. It handles alignment, spacing, and typographic structure across multiple languages.

Question 5

What is web-grounded image generation in Seedream 5.0?

Accepted Answer

Seedream 5.0 can search the web in real-time during image generation. This means it can generate accurate visuals of real-world subjects — current products, landmarks, public figures — by referencing up-to-date information rather than relying solely on training data.

Question 6

How many reference images can I use for editing?

Accepted Answer

Seedream 4.5 supports up to 10 reference images per edit. Seedream 5.0 supports up to 14. Upload your references, describe the changes you want in natural language, and Seedream will apply them while preserving the overall composition and style.

Yes. Images generated with Seedream on VicSee are suitable for commercial use including marketing, social media, websites, and advertising. Paid subscribers get watermark-free downloads.
