What is Seedream 5.5?
Seedream 5.5 is ByteDance Seed's image generation and editing model, the next step after the Seedream 5.0 series. It creates images from text and edits the images you add, with three headline upgrades: stable multi-turn editing, native transparent (RGBA) output, and more realistic images with clearer text.

Seedream 5.5 keeps your image steady, edit after edit
Most image models drift when you keep editing: colors shift, faces change and details soften a little more with each round. Seedream 5.5 is built for long edit sessions. It changes only what you ask for and keeps the untouched areas the same, without a color shift, so you can swap a ring, restyle a jacket or move an object and keep going. ByteDance showed it with 100 edits in a row on one portrait. Small changes stay precise too, with pose, skin contact, shadows and light kept right.
Seedream 5.5 settings: up to 2K and native transparency
Seedream 5.5 can output images with a real alpha channel: set the background to transparent and you get an RGBA PNG with full and partial transparency, so stickers, product cutouts and character assets are ready without a separate background removal step. Light, materials and skin look more natural, and dense small text in English and Chinese stays readable. Generate at 1K, 1.5K or 2K in eight aspect ratios: 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 2:3 and 21:9. Add up to 10 source images to edit or to guide subject, style and composition, use a negative prompt to keep out what you do not want, and set the background to auto, transparent or opaque.
