Seedream 5 is ByteDance's newer image model, offered as Pro for precise, natural images and Lite for fast, low-cost drafts. It handles detailed, multi-part instructions and prompts written in many languages, so you can describe a layout, several subjects and how they relate in plain sentences. Draft an idea on Lite, then run the prompt that works on Pro for the final image.
Spell out spatial relationships, such as what is on the left, in front, behind or being held, because the model follows multi-part layouts well.
Write in the language you think in, since prompts in many languages work, and quote any text that should appear exactly.
Use Lite to test compositions and wording quickly, then rerun the best prompt on Pro for a cleaner, more precise result.
When editing, say which upload is image 1 or image 2 and use a direct verb: add, remove, replace or restyle.
Stick to one clear style per prompt, because mixing several conflicting styles makes the result less coherent.
Everyday portraits
01
Bookstore browse
Using my photo for my face and hair, show me in a cozy independent bookstore, pulling a book from a tall wooden shelf and smiling at the cover. Warm overhead lamps, stacks of books around me, a natural candid photo taken at eye level.
02
Rooftop vegetable garden
Place me from my photo in a rooftop vegetable garden at sunrise, kneeling beside raised beds and holding a basket of fresh tomatoes. The city skyline is softly blurred behind me, golden light comes from the left, relaxed natural expression, realistic photo.
03
Rainy day with my dog
Combine image 1, my photo, and image 2, my dog, into one picture of us curled up on a sofa under a blanket, watching the rain through the window. Keep both faces accurate, with soft grey daylight and a calm, homely mood.
04
Coastal bike ride
Show me from my photo riding a vintage bicycle along a coastal road on a breezy summer day, with a wicker basket of flowers on the front. The sea is on the right, my hair moves in the wind, bright natural light, slightly low camera angle.
Detailed layouts
05
Styled kitchen shelf
An open kitchen shelf styled for a lifestyle catalog. Top shelf: three glass jars of pasta, rice and lentils from left to right. Middle shelf: a stack of white plates and a small potted basil. Bottom shelf: two copper pans. Soft daylight, realistic photo.
06
Tidy desk from above
A top-down photo of a tidy desk: a laptop in the center, a notebook and pen to its left, a cup of coffee at the top right, a small succulent at the top left, and wireless earbuds in front of the laptop. Light wood surface, morning light.
07
Hillside picnic in layers
A picnic on a hillside: in the foreground a red checkered blanket with a basket, sandwiches and a jug of lemonade; behind it, two friends flying a kite; in the far distance, a small white farmhouse. Bright spring afternoon, realistic photography.
08
Solar system wall chart
A colorful wall chart titled "Our Solar System" showing the Sun on the left and the eight planets in order to the right, each labeled with its name underneath and drawn at a rough relative size. Friendly flat illustration on a dark blue background.
09
Three-language specials board
A chalkboard café sign on a sidewalk with today's special written in three languages, each on its own line: "Soup of the day", "Sopa del día", "Soupe du jour". A croissant doodle in the corner, morning sunlight, shallow depth of field.
Concept drafts
10
Bakery logo concept
A simple flat logo concept for a fictional bakery called "Rise & Shine": a rising sun formed from a croissant shape over a horizon line, in warm orange and brown, clean vector style on white, with the name in rounded sans-serif letters below.
11
Bedroom makeover idea
Restyle my photo of an empty bedroom into a calm Japandi interior: a low wooden bed, linen bedding in oatmeal tones, a paper floor lamp and a small bonsai on the windowsill. Keep the room's walls, window and floor plan exactly as in the photo.
12
Backyard garden plan
A bird's-eye garden plan for a small backyard: a curved stone path from the gate to a wooden bench, a vegetable bed on the left, a round lawn in the middle and a flowering border along the back fence. Soft watercolor plan style with tidy outlines.
13
Desert traveler concept sheet
A concept sketch sheet for a friendly desert traveler character with a long scarf, goggles on the forehead, a patched cloak and a walking staff, shown front-facing and in profile, with color swatches for sand, rust and indigo beside the figures. Clean digital pencil style.
Atmospheric scenes
14
Fishing village in fog
A small fishing village at dawn wrapped in thick fog, wooden boats resting on the pebble shore, a single lantern still lit in a cottage window, and gulls just visible overhead. Soft desaturated blues and greys, quiet painterly realism.
15
Autumn train window
The view from inside a vintage train carriage: a window seat with a cup of tea on the small table, and outside, forested hills in deep autumn red and gold rolling past under a low sun. Warm interior wood, gentle motion blur on the landscape.
16
Desert camp under stars
A desert campsite at night with a glowing canvas tent, a small campfire, two camels resting nearby, and a sky packed with stars and a crescent moon above the dunes. Deep blues and warm orange firelight, realistic long exposure.
17
Greenhouse café in the rain
A café built inside an old glass greenhouse during heavy rain, with tables among hanging ferns and orchids, rain running down the panes and warm pendant lights glowing overhead. Cozy, lush, realistic interior photography.
18
Stone bridge after snowfall
An old stone bridge over a frozen river in a quiet mountain village after fresh snowfall, with footprints leading across, smoke rising from chimneys and pale morning sun breaking through the clouds. Crisp winter light, realistic landscape photo.
Copy a prompt, open Luren AI, choose Seedream 5 in the model picker and paste it. Prompts that mention "my photo" expect you to add your own photo as a reference first.
Can I edit the prompts?
Yes, and you should: swap the setting, the outfit, the colours or the light for your own idea. Keep the order (subject, setting, light, camera, mood) and the model will follow you better.
Is Seedream 5 part of Luren AI?
Seedream 5 is made by ByteDance. Luren AI is an independent app that gives you Seedream 5 together with other image and video models, so you can try the same prompt on several of them.
