Prompt writing guide for Seedream 5.0
Seedream 5.0 understands natural language in English and Chinese — these techniques get the most from its web search and text rendering.
Best when you name real, specific facts
Name real, current things to trigger web search
Reference specific products, events, people or "latest / this year" details, and Seedream 5.0 searches the web for accurate rendering.
- •Words like "latest", "this year", "current" cue a search
- •Name real products, brands and landmarks explicitly
- •Great for factual infographics and product mockups
Example
"A poster of this year's top-grossing films with accurate titles and box-office figures"
Wrap exact text in quotes — English or Chinese
Quoted strings are rendered literally. Seedream 5.0 sets English and Chinese with equal precision.
- •Text inside quotation marks is rendered as-is
- •Mix EN and CN in one prompt freely
- •Combine multiple quoted strings for multi-line copy
Example
"A tea-shop menu titled "春季限定 · Spring Menu" with bilingual item names"
Attach references to lock consistency or edit
Provide up to 14 reference images to keep a subject on-model, or to edit an existing image precisely.
- •Use several clean, well-lit angles
- •Describe what stays fixed vs. what changes
- •Ideal for product catalogs and character series
Example
"Same product as the references, now on a marble kitchen counter, morning light"
Name the canvas — up to 21:9 cinematic
Seedream 5.0 supports ratios up to 21:9 wide and 9:16 tall. State the target so it composes for the format.
- •Say "21:9 cinematic" or "9:16 vertical" explicitly
- •Place the focal point for the declared canvas
- •Rich ratio set from 5:4 to 21:9
Example
"A 21:9 cinematic banner, product on the right third, clean space for a headline left"
Ask for 3K when detail matters
Request 3K for hero images, print and close-ups; 2K keeps drafts fast while you iterate.
- •State "3K" for final, high-detail output
- •Use 2K while exploring concepts
- •Higher resolution rewards richer descriptions
Example
"3K product hero of a ceramic teapot, soft window light, shallow depth of field"
State constraints at the end
Tell the model what to leave out — extra text, watermarks, clutter. Direct negatives work best.
- •Append "Constraints:" at the end of the prompt
- •Forbid extra text, watermarks and logos explicitly
- •Avoid vague phrasing like "try not to"
Example
"Constraints: no extra words, no watermark, clean uncluttered background"
