ByteDance Releases Seedream 5.5: Edit an Image for 100 Consecutive Rounds and Generate Transparent Assets Directly
【ByteDance Releases Seedream 5.5: Edit an Image for 100 Consecutive Rounds and Generate Transparent Assets Directly】Bilian Express reported on November 9 that ByteDance has released its next-generation image model, Seedream 5.5. It supports editing the same image for up to 100 consecutive rounds and can also generate assets with transparent backgrounds directly.
ByteDance demonstrated 100 consecutive rounds of editing. Each round used the previous image as its starting point, making successive changes to the same person’s clothing, glasses, rings, and items on the desk. Despite repeated edits, the person retained their original features, and the model could still accurately adjust small objects such as rings and eyeglass frames. The company said the new version can keep unedited areas pixel-perfect, avoiding the distortion and color shifts that could build up with repeated edits in the past.
Another new feature is native generation of transparent RGBA assets. For example, asking the AI to draw a snowy owl with its wings spread produces an image with a transparent background, and even the tiny gaps between the feathers are rendered correctly. Stickers, decorative text, and product assets can be placed directly into posters or design layouts, eliminating the need to remove backgrounds manually.
Generation quality has also improved. The new version reduces issues such as overly smooth skin in portraits, glossy-looking images, and localized overexposure. It can also generate more complex Chinese text and dense, small text. According to ByteDance’s official tests, the rate of severe text corruption fell to 0.4%, while the rate of minor text corruption was 1.7%. The usability rate of generated results for film and office scenarios is more than twice that of the previous-generation Seedream 5.0 Pro.
Seedream 5.5 is rolling out to Jimeng, Doubao, Doubao Work, and Volcano Ark. A Pro version will also be released later.
