SeedDream 5.0 Pro

Quick answer: SeedDream 5.0 Pro renders sheets at 2K and reads the whole of a description — the end as carefully as the start — which is why it was the site’s default before the cheaper Qwen tier took over. It costs 25 credits per sheet (about $0.16 at the lowest credit price). Pick it for photographic skin in close-up and for detailed descriptions where every clause has to land.

Qwen-Image 3.0 Pro is the recommended tier; this page is the alternative for detail-heavy work.

Where you pick it

Settings → Model Preferences → Image Model. The choice applies to every sheet you generate from then on — character, location and prop images in step 2, regenerations, state images — until you change it. Sheets already made keep their pixels; nothing is re-rendered by switching.

What a sheet on this tier looks like

2K output: a 9:16 character sheet has roughly twice the pixel count of the default tier’s, and a 16:9 location image the same. Skin is the tier’s strength — pores, uneven tone, the small asymmetries that make a face read as a person rather than a render. It also draws exactly what the description says, including result-style phrases, so a description that says red at the nostrils gets a red nose.

How it reads your description

End to end. Where the Qwen tiers weight the opening, this tier acts on the last paragraph as readily as the first, which makes it the tier for long, layered descriptions — period costume with many pieces, a room with a specified light source, a character defined by a dozen small features. The flip side: it follows literal phrasing literally. Describe the cause of what you want to see, not the look you expect.

What it costs

Every account has 15 free sheets in total (across projects, any type) on a project whose script has been read; after that each sheet on this tier costs 25 credits (about $0.16 at the lowest credit price). A rejected generation is not charged, and most failures are refunded automatically; a few kinds of failure are held until support checks them. Regenerating a sheet is a new charge; the old image stays until you replace it.

Against the default tier at 7 per sheet and SeedDream 5.0 Lite at 8.

Content checks

The description is checked before rendering; a flagged description is not charged, so edit the wording rather than retrying. See content rules and checks.

Common errors

What you may meet on this tier:

What you see	Usual cause	What to do
“Blocked by content safety rules — edit the script or description and retry.”	A word or phrase in the character or scene description tripped the check	Edit the description and generate again
“The generation service hit a temporary problem. You weren’t charged — feel free to try again.”	The service was saturated; the site already tried again once	Generate again in a few minutes
A sheet that ignores part of the description	Too many details competing in one description	Put identity details first; trim decoration
Generate All stops partway	Balance ran out; the remaining sheets were not charged	Top up, then generate the rest

When to switch tier

To SeedDream 5.0 Lite for locations and props at 2K without the Pro price. Back to a Qwen tier when you are iterating on a description and cost per attempt matters more than the last few percent of texture. Existing sheets are untouched by switching.

FAQ

Is this the highest-resolution image tier?

It is one of the 2K tiers, with SeedDream 5.0 Lite; the Qwen tiers render at lower pixel counts.

Why was it replaced as the default?

Cost. Sheets are references for the video tiers, and the cheaper tier gives them what they need for most projects.

Will it draw exactly what I write?

More literally than the other tiers. Write causes (a lamp to the upper right) rather than results (light on her forehead).

Does it handle very long descriptions?

Yes; it reads to the end. That is its main advantage over the default tier.

Can I mix tiers within one cast?

Yes. Switch the preference before regenerating the sheets you want on this tier.
