Seedance 2.0 Mini

by ByteDance

Seedance 2.0 Mini, opened up in June 2026, is the smallest member of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 line, running roughly twice as fast as the Fast tier. Despite its size it retains the generation's defining capabilities, text-to-video and image-to-video with subject-reference images and natively synchronized audio. Output is capped at 480p or 720p with clips of 4 to 15 seconds, a profile designed for volume rather than showcase quality. It shines in batch pipelines, automated content systems, and draft passes that let a heavier Seedance model handle only the final render.
