Seedance 2.0 Mini AI Video Generator
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the lightest model in ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 family: the same text-to-video, image-to-video and reference inputs as Seedance 2.0, tuned for quick turnaround and a much lower price per second. Flowlio AI runs Seedance 2 Mini in your browser — no API key, no waitlist, no watermark — so you can draft ten versions of a shot for what one clip costs on the full model.
Seedance 2.0 Mini vs Seedance 2.0 Fast vs Seedance 2.0
All three share the same inputs and controls. The difference is how much detail you pay for — and how long you wait for it.
| Spec | Seedance 2.0 Mini | Seedance 2.0 Fast | Seedance 2.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Lightest, quickest tier | Speed-first tier | Full-quality standard model |
| Max resolution | 720p | 720p | 1080p |
| Clip length | 4–15 seconds | 4–15 seconds | 4–15 seconds |
| Inputs | Text, first/last frame, up to 9 images + 3 videos + 3 audio refs | Same as Mini | Same as Mini |
| Generated audio | Yes, optional | Yes, optional | Yes, optional |
| 5s clip at 720p on Flowlio AI | 75 credits | 250 credits | 325 credits |
| Best for | Drafts, prompt testing, high-volume social clips | Quick 720p finals when Mini's motion isn't enough | Hero shots that need 1080p and the finest detail |
Credits shown are for text- or image-to-video without a reference video. All three models sit in the same model picker, so you can draft on Mini and re-run the winning prompt on Seedance 2.0 without rewriting anything. Need 1080p or clips up to 30 seconds? Switch to the Seedance 2.5 video generator.
What Seedance 2.0 Mini is good for
Seedance 2 Mini doesn't try to beat the full model on detail. It wins on how many attempts you get — which is what most video work actually needs.
Find the shot before you pay for the final
Most of the cost in AI video is the attempts that didn't work. Run your framing, camera move and pacing on Seedance 2.0 Mini first, change one thing at a time, and only move the winning prompt to Seedance 2.0 or Seedance 2.5 once the shot reads right. Mini and the full model take the same inputs, so nothing has to be rewritten on the way up.
Feed TikTok, Reels and Shorts every day
Short-form accounts need a lot of clips, and 720p is what those feeds play back anyway. Generate 9:16 hooks, loops and B-roll with Seedance 2.0 Mini at a fraction of the per-second price, add generated audio when the clip needs sound, and keep the budget for the posts that take off.
Put product stills and key art in motion
Upload a product photo, a poster or a character render as the first frame and let Seedance 2 Mini animate it — or add a last frame to decide where the move ends. It's a cheap way to turn a catalogue of stills into moving thumbnails, ad variants and landing-page loops.
Keep a character or outfit steady across shots
Seedance 2.0 Mini keeps the multimodal reference input of the full model: up to 9 images, 3 video clips and 3 audio clips. Hand it the same character sheet for every shot of a storyboard and the face, wardrobe and style carry through, at the cost that makes a whole sequence of drafts affordable.
How to use Seedance 2.0 Mini in three steps
Seedance 2.0 Mini is selected by default in the generator above. Everything happens in the browser.

Seedance 2.0 Mini FAQ
Common questions about Seedance 2.0 Mini and how it compares with the rest of the Seedance lineup.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is a lightweight tier of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video model, released in June 2026. It accepts the same inputs as Seedance 2.0 — text, first and last frames, and image, video and audio references — and outputs 480p or 720p clips of 4 to 15 seconds, with optional generated audio. It is positioned as the fastest, lowest-cost way to run Seedance 2.0.
Both top out at 720p and take exactly the same inputs. Mini is the cheaper and lighter of the two: on Flowlio AI a 5-second 720p clip costs 75 credits on Mini versus 250 on Fast. A practical workflow is to draft on Mini and step up to Fast or the full Seedance 2.0 model only for the shots that need more — it's one switch in the model picker.
Seedance 2.0 is the standard model: it renders up to 1080p and gives the most detail, at the highest price. Seedance 2.0 Mini keeps the same controls but is limited to 720p and costs a fraction as much per second. Use Mini for iteration and volume, Seedance 2.0 for the final hero shot.
For its price, yes. It follows prompts, camera moves and character references well enough for drafts, social clips and animated product stills. Expect less fine detail than the full Seedance 2.0 model, and no 1080p. The quickest way to judge is to run the same prompt on Mini and on Seedance 2.0 in the generator above and compare.
You can try it free on Flowlio AI: new accounts get signup credits, which cover several Seedance 2.0 Mini clips because it's the cheapest Seedance model here. After that, generations use credits from a plan or credit pack, and the cost is shown before you generate.
On Flowlio AI, Seedance 2.0 Mini costs 10 credits per second at 480p and 15 credits per second at 720p. A 5-second 720p clip is 75 credits. Adding a reference video lowers the per-second rate but also bills the reference clip's length, and the generator shows the total before you run it.
Clips run from 4 to 15 seconds at 480p or 720p, in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 or adaptive aspect ratios. If you need 1080p, switch the model to Seedance 2.0 or Seedance 2.5 in the same generator.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is offered by ByteDance's own apps and by several API platforms. On Flowlio AI you can use it directly in the browser: no API key, no install and no waitlist, with Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5 and other video models in the same model picker.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is a hosted model served through APIs; ByteDance has not released open weights for it, so there is no official Hugging Face download or ComfyUI model to run locally. Flowlio AI gives you a browser interface on top of the hosted model, with no API setup needed.
Clips download from Flowlio AI without a watermark. You can use them in your projects as long as your prompts and references — people, brands, characters, music — are things you have the right to use.
