Seedream v5.0 Lite Sequential — A consistent series of images from a single prompt.

Seedream v5.0 Lite Sequential is the series mode of Seedream 5.0 Lite, the image model ByteDance’s Seed team introduced in February 2026. On Deepnia you ask for up to 15 images at once, designed to share the same characters, style and aspect ratio: a carousel, a storyboard, a comic strip or a sticker pack, from text or up to 10 reference images.

  • Series of 1 to 15 images
  • Up to 10 references
  • 7 ratios in 2K
  • One ratio for the whole series
  • Generation and editing
  • 3,000-character prompt

The image tool opens with Seedream v5.0 Lite Sequential already selected. The exact cost shows before every creation; you sign up when you generate.

  1. A prompt describing each image

What Seedream v5.0 Lite Sequential does best

A whole series in one request

Set the “Images” counter from 1 to 15 and describe the series in a single prompt. ByteDance built this mode for sets of related images, such as comic storyboards or brand visuals.

The same characters from image to image

The series mode is built to keep characters, settings and art direction from one image to the next. ByteDance shows, for example, the same characters in the morning, at noon and at night.

A brand identity from a logo

Add a logo, a product or a mascot (up to 10 images): ByteDance shows a complete visual system, from packaging to cards, created from a single logo.

The same aspect ratio across the series

Every image shares the ratio you pick among the 7 on offer, at 2K size: handy for a 3:4 carousel or a 16:9 storyboard.

Built on Seedream 5.0 Lite

The series mode runs on Seedream 5.0 Lite, which ByteDance presents as a model that grasps the intent behind instructions, borrows a style from one image and handles scenes with several characters.

Tips for better results

  1. State the number of images in the prompt and describe each one in order (1, 2, 3…): according to ByteDance, the model decides how many images to return.
  2. Set the “Images” counter to the same number as in the prompt: it sets the maximum for the series.
  3. Describe once what stays the same (character, outfit, place, style, light), then what changes from one image to the next.
  4. To keep a character or a product identical, add a clear reference image of it rather than a description alone.
  5. Pick the aspect ratio for where the series will go: 3:4 or 1:1 for a carousel, 16:9 for a storyboard, 9:16 for stories.

Good to know

  • References and created images count together, 15 in total per request according to ByteDance: with 10 references, plan for up to 5 images.
  • For text in the images (a sign, a label, a title), put it in quotation marks, keep it short and check every word.
  • For a standalone image or a targeted edit, switch to Seedream v5.0 Lite: the same model, one image per creation.
  • Use logos, product photos and portraits you have the rights to, with the consent of the people pictured.

Frequently asked questions

How many images can I generate at once?

1 to 15 images per request on Deepnia, 2 by default, set with the “Images” counter.

How do I get the number of images I want?

State that number in the prompt, describe each image in order (1, 2, 3…) and set the “Images” counter to the same number: in series mode, the model decides how many images to return, up to the number you chose. With references, count 15 images in total, references included.

Are the images in a series consistent?

That is the point of this mode: ByteDance presents it for sets of related images, such as comic storyboards or brand visuals, and shows the same characters from one image to the next. To strengthen consistency, add a reference image of the character or product and describe once what stays the same.

Can I start from a logo or a product photo?

Yes: add up to 10 reference images (JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB). ByteDance shows a complete visual identity created from a single logo.

Which aspect ratios are available?

1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, at 2K size (for example 2048×2048 in 1:1); the whole series uses the same ratio.

What is the difference with Seedream v5.0 Lite?

It is the same ByteDance model: Seedream v5.0 Lite creates standalone images, while the Sequential version creates a linked series of 1 to 15 images in a single request.

Which aspect ratio should I pick for a carousel, a storyboard or stories?

3:4 or 1:1 for a carousel, 16:9 for a storyboard, 9:16 for stories: the whole series is created in that ratio, at 2K.

What is it good for?

Social media carousels, ad storyboards, comic strips, sticker packs, travel diaries and brand identity sets.
