What's the difference between Seedream v5 Lite and the full Seedream v5?

Seedream v5 Lite is the fast, cost-efficient sibling of the full Seedream v5 flagship. It produces images in the same visual family — the same bilingual prompt understanding, photorealism, and lighting behavior — but with quicker generation times and a lower credit cost per image. The full Seedream v5 is the right choice on Oakgen.ai for your final hero render, while Lite is the right choice for exploring ideas, A/B testing prompts, and generating the long tail of social and ad variations.

Does Seedream handle Chinese prompts?

Yes — bilingual Chinese and English prompt understanding is one of Seedream's signature strengths. You can write prompts entirely in Chinese, entirely in English, or mix the two in a single prompt, and the model will interpret them natively rather than translating first. That makes it a strong default on Oakgen.ai for APAC creative teams, bilingual marketing campaigns, and anyone generating culturally specific imagery where subtle translation artifacts in other models would degrade the output.

How is Seedream different from Seedance?

Seedream and Seedance share research lineage but solve different problems. Seedream is the still-image family on Oakgen — text-to-image generation for photography, illustration, product, and lifestyle visuals. Seedance is the video family — text-to-video and image-to-video generation focused on realistic motion. The two share research DNA around realism and lighting, but each is optimized for its own modality. On Oakgen you can generate a still with Seedream and animate it with Seedance in the same workflow.

Is Seedream v5 Lite good enough for commercial and client work?

Yes. Seedream v5 Lite outputs on a paid Oakgen plan ship watermark-free with full commercial usage rights, and the image quality is production-ready for social ads, e-commerce lifestyle shots, editorial hero images, and most client deliverables. For the most demanding brand work — magazine covers, luxury product campaigns, campaigns that will be printed at large scale — teams typically use Lite to iterate and land on a direction, then run the final prompt through the full Seedream v5 or another flagship for the hero render.

Does Seedream v5 Lite support reference images or is it text-only?

This entry is Seedream v5 Lite's text-to-image pipeline, so the primary input is a written prompt rather than a reference image. For workflows that need image conditioning — style transfer, subject preservation, or composition locking — pair it with Oakgen's image editor and upscaler after generation, or switch to a reference-capable model in the Oakgen catalog for that step. The text-only pipeline is the fastest and cheapest path through Seedream, which is why it's the default for iteration.

Do generated images have a watermark?

No. Images generated on Oakgen.ai are watermark-free and come with full commercial usage rights on every paid plan.

Can I use AI images commercially?

Yes. On a paid Oakgen plan every generation includes full commercial usage rights. You can use the output in ads, products, client work, and monetized content.

How many images can I generate per run?

Depends on the model — most support 1–4 images per generation, with some allowing up to 8. You can queue additional generations back-to-back for larger batches.

What resolutions are supported?

Most models produce outputs in the 1024–2048 px range natively. For higher resolutions, run the output through Oakgen's image upscaler (up to 4K) after generation.

Can I use my own reference images?

Many models accept reference images for image-to-image, style transfer, or subject preservation workflows. Check the model's form fields — if image upload is available, you can upload up to the model's max size limit.

What's the best prompt structure?

A reliable template: [subject] [action] [environment] [style and medium] [lighting] [camera or composition cue]. Be specific but not verbose. 15–40 words is the sweet spot for most modern diffusion models.

Does Oakgen train on my generated images?

No. Your generations are yours. Oakgen does not train models on user outputs and does not use them for product development without consent.

Can I edit the images after generation?

Yes. Oakgen's image editing suite includes background removal, face swap, upscaling, inpainting, and style transfer. Every generated image flows seamlessly into the editor.

Which AI model should I use?

FLUX Pro is best for photorealistic images and portraits. Midjourney excels at artistic and creative styles. DALL-E 3 is great for following complex prompts accurately. Ideogram is the best choice when you need text in your images.

How do I get consistent characters?

Use reference images with the character reference feature. You can also use a consistent seed value and detailed character descriptions across multiple generations.

What's the best aspect ratio for social media?

Use 1:1 for Instagram posts, 9:16 for Stories/Reels/TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and Twitter, and 4:5 for Pinterest pins.
