Seedance 2.0 Fast Image to Video

ByteDance's fast-tier image-to-video model — transforms a reference image into video with lower latency and ~20% cost savings compared to the standard version.

Highlights

Lower latency — Optimized for speed, ideal for iterative workflows and rapid prototyping.

Image-driven generation — Use a first-frame image to guide the video's visual style and starting point.

Native audio generation — Automatically creates synchronized sound effects and ambient audio.

Up to 720p — Supports 480p and 720p output (1080p not available in fast tier).

Pricing

Non-4K rates use Volcengine's non-promotional list price converted at 1 USD = 6.74 CNY. All 4K output rates use the confirmed reference price.

ResolutionOutput price per second
480p$0.05
720p$0.12

Default: 5 output seconds at 720p = $0.59. Input images do not add a video-input charge. Audio generation is included at no extra cost.
