Seedream 5 Pro on Hermosso
ByteDance's premium photorealism engine: rich light and real skin texture, at 1K or 2K.
What Seedream 5 Pro does best
The premium photorealism engine
Seedream 5 Pro trades speed for finish: rich lighting and skin texture that hold up at print sizes. It's the same model family that powers Hermosso's portrait packs — photorealism is its home turf.
1K or 2K, your call
Seedream 5 Pro runs as two engines in the studio — separate 1K and 2K tiers — so you pay for the resolution the job needs: 50 credits at 1K, 100 at 2K.
Built for portraits
Faces are the hardest test for any image model, and they're where Seedream 5 Pro earns its premium tier. It also accepts reference images, so edits and compositions can start from your own photos.
Worth the wait — honestly
The honest caveat: expect around two minutes per image, slower than the fast tier. The wait buys the lighting and texture; when you need volume instead, Seedream 5 Lite runs in about 30 seconds.
Made for the work you ship
