What's new in Seedream 5.5
Precise edits that hold
Change one part of a picture and leave the rest alone. Edit round after round without the face, the product or the background drifting or going soft.
Sharper, more real images
More natural faces and proportions, true-to-life materials and lighting, and cleaner blends when you combine several reference images into one scene.
Small text that reads
Dense copy, tiny labels and text in many languages come out readable, so posters, packaging and ads need far less fixing.
Transparent backgrounds
Switch on Transparent background and get a PNG cut-out: logos, stickers, product shots and game assets ready to drop onto anything.
Move, resize and re-word anything
Split a picture into layers: the background, every object and every line of text. Drag things to a new spot, resize them, hide or reorder them, change the words, then save one finished PNG.
Made with Seedream 5.5






Layers: edit any part of a picture
Split an image into layers: the background, each object and each line of text. Move, resize, hide or reorder any layer, change the words, then export one finished PNG. A split costs credits, and the cost is shown before you split.
