Seedance 2.0 Mini is the image-to-video endpoint of ByteDance's lightweight "Mini" tier within the Seedance 2.0 family. You provide a starting image and a motion prompt, and the model animates it with camera control, realistic physics, and synchronized native audio in a single pass. It ships alongside its same-family siblings Seedance 2.0 Mini and Seedance 2.0 Mini R2V, all dated June 2026.

The broader Seedance 2.0 line is built on Seed's unified multimodal architecture, emphasizing motion stability, audio-video joint generation, and control over performance, lighting, shadow, and camera movement. These capabilities are shared across the tier's text-, image-, and reference-to-video endpoints.

Within the current generation, the Mini tier is positioned as a lighter, faster sibling to the full Seedance 2.0 image-to-video model, making it suited to rapid iteration and high-volume workflows. The Seedance 2.0 generation succeeds the earlier Seedance 1.5 Pro line from March 2026, extending the family's image-to-video capabilities while retaining the same core architecture and feature set described by ByteDance's Seed documentation.
