Key Features of Seedream 5.5

Edit one area, round after round

Seedream 5.5 changes only the part of an image you ask it to change. Ask for a new jacket color, a different product on the table, or an empty street behind your subject. The person, the product, and everything you did not mention stay exactly as they were. You can keep making changes round after round, and the image keeps its sharpness and quality the whole way.

Make realistic people and place products

Make realistic people and place products

Seedream 5.5 gives faces, expressions, and body proportions a natural look, from a smiling model to an older craftsman with deep lines and visible pores. Materials like glass, leather, and linen show their real texture, and images come out sharper than Seedream 5.0 Pro at the same size. You can also give Seedream 5.5 one or more reference images, such as your product and a room, and ask it to put them together.

Write small text in many languages

Write small text in many languages

Seedream 5.5 writes small, crowded text that stays correct and easy to read. Product labels, sticky notes, event posters, price lists, and building signs come out with the right letters, numbers, and dates. Seedream 5.5 handles many writing systems, including Russian, Thai with its tone marks, Japanese, and Filipino. One poster design can carry the same message in each market's own language.

Make images with transparent backgrounds

Seedream 5.5 can make images with a fully or partly transparent background, from a prompt or from an image you upload. Ask for a logo, a sticker, a game character, an app button, or fancy title text for a slide. The file comes out with only your subject in it, ready to drop onto any color or into a larger design. Partly see-through areas, like a glass bottle or a soft shadow, stay partly see-through.

Split images into up to 100 layers

Seedream 5.5 can split a finished image into as many as 100 separate layers. The background, each object, and each block of text come out as their own files, ready to reuse in other designs. Seedream 5.5 also reads the words on each text layer, so you can change the copy, translate it, or turn the design into a template. Partly see-through pieces come out as their own layers too.

Best Uses for Seedream 5.5

Test ad versions from one approved image

Test ad versions from one approved image

Seedream 5.5 helps performance marketers and ad designers build test versions of an ad that already works. Start with your best ad image and change one thing at a time: a new background, a new product color, then a new headline. The model, the product, and the layout stay the same in every version, so each test shows what that one change did. Split the final ad into layers, and the headline comes out as its own text layer you can rewrite for the next test.

Take one campaign poster into every market

Seedream 5.5 helps brand designers and creative directors run one campaign across countries. Say your team approves an event poster in English with a date, a time, a price, and a small line of contact details. Give Seedream 5.5 the same copy in Japanese, Thai, or Russian, and the small print comes out correct and easy to read. Split the poster into layers, and the logo, the product, and the background stay ready to reuse in every version.

Roll one key visual out to every channel

Seedream 5.5 helps brand teams take an approved key visual everywhere it needs to go. Ask for the same visual as a poster, a 9:16 story, a shopping bag, a tea tin label, a postcard, and a sticker sheet with a transparent background. Every format is laid out for its own shape, and the logo, headline, and small print stay sharp. Split the key visual into layers, and your designers can rebuild any size by hand.

Plan characters and scenes before the shoot

Seedream 5.5 helps filmmakers and storyboard artists show the cast and the look of a film before anyone shoots. Upload a reference photo of a character and ask for a 16:9 sheet with a large face close-up next to front, side, and back views. Height, face, and clothing folds line up across every view, so the costume and makeup teams work from one clear picture.
