Meet Seedream 5.5, built for images that go straight into production. It renders sharper, more natural images up to 4K, gets small and multilingual text right, and can generate on a transparent background. Then split the result into layers for background, elements and text.
Sharp edits, sharp text, sharp images
Every element on its own layer
Split an image into up to 100 layers for background, elements and text, then rearrange, reuse or edit them in your own tools.
Edit with precision
Change a face, a product or the background as many times as you need. Everything you didn't touch stays pixel-for-pixel the same, with no quality loss between rounds.
Blend references into one image
Combine products, people and locations from several references, with matching scale, perspective and light, while each subject keeps its identity and details.
Every language, at every size
Write copy in Japanese, Thai, Russian, Tagalog and more, with the right characters, numbers and layout for posters, packaging and signs. Seedream 5.5 renders them accurately and legibly, even at small sizes.
Skip the cutout and cleanup
No masking and no edge cleanup. You get assets with clean transparent edges, ready to composite into a layout, a game or a deck.
Big enough for the final file
Draft at 1K or 2K while you're exploring, then render the keeper at up to 4K for prints, billboards and client delivery.
