Choose 1:1, 9:16, 16:9, or 21:9 before finishing text or layout in a design tool.
Start from these text to image and image to image prompt patterns.
Use product references as anchors. Create a consistent catalog image for [product], matching material color, soft studio light, simple props, realistic commercial photography, clean background, no text.

Seedream 5.0 Pro is a ByteDance image model available in AISnapEdit for text-to-image and image-to-image workflows.
Use the page to compare exposed controls such as resolution, quality mode, reference workflow, and credit cost rather than relying on external leaderboard claims.
Use the reference-image control shown in the generator and keep references focused for better consistency.
Basic creates a 1K image and High creates a 2K image.
Write each scene with clear character, style, camera, and continuity instructions, then review each output before continuing the series.
Seedream 5.0 Pro can be prompted for text-heavy layouts, but generated text still needs human review before final use.
Generation time can vary with provider load, resolution, and prompt complexity, so the page should not promise a fixed time.
Choose the model whose visible controls, resolution options, and credit cost fit the job.
