# Seedream 5.0 FAQ

## Is Seedream 5.0 free to use?

## Does the site support image-to-image?

Yes — upload one reference image plus a prompt in the dashboard and the model restyles or edits the image while keeping its structure.

## Can I use the generated images commercially?

Outputs made on a paid plan may be used commercially under the site Terms. Free-tier output is for evaluation and personal use.

## Is this site affiliated with ByteDance?

No. This is an independent site that hosts Seedream models through a third-party inference API. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ByteDance.

## Does Seedream 5.0 generate videos?

Not directly — it is an image generator. You can send a finished frame to the video workspace to animate it using the same credit balance.
