Prompt Recipes
Adapt these prompts to your creative brief. Each image is an AI-generated concept illustration, not a verified Seedream 5.5 result.

Transparent Asset Prompt: A glass coffee mug filled with iced latte, condensation drips on glass, floating roasted coffee beans, clean transparent background, studio softbox illumination, native RGBA, high commercial sharpness.
Ideal for UI asset production, packaging mockups, and transparent ecommerce overlays.

Branding Poster Prompt: A minimalist craft beer can packaging design with crisp legible text reading "SEED PEAK LAGER EST. 2026", metallic gold foil accents on matte forest green can, studio still life photography.
Takes advantage of Seedream 5.5’s 0.4% low text error rate for packaging & signage.

Editorial Portrait Prompt: Cinematic close-up portrait of an elderly watchmaker working under a warm desk lamp, magnifying loupe on eye, micro dust in warm light beam, real skin texture, depth of field, 85mm lens.
Natural skin texture without artificial plastic sheen or excessive HDR contrast.
Core Advantages
Lock unaltered pixels with surgical precision. Modify background, wardrobe, or lighting without altering facial likeness or product geometry.
No more green-screen artifacts or flawed edge clipping algorithms. Get true transparent PNG/WebP files directly out of the inference pipe.
Major text rendering distortion reduced to 0.4%. Generates legible English and Chinese typography on product packaging and storefronts.
Single image inference wall-time drops to 5-10s. Split input/output billing provides higher yield per generation credit.
Workflow
Describe subject, lighting, and specify "transparent background" if native RGBA asset output is desired.
Produce high-fidelity 2K visual assets with authentic photoreal texture in seconds.
Send localized modification prompts. The model alters only the designated elements, keeping the remainder strictly intact.

FAQ
Seedream 5.5 is ByteDance Seed team’s next-generation vision foundation model (Doubao-Seedream-5.5), officially unveiled in November 2026. It specializes in multi-turn non-destructive image editing, native alpha transparency, and high-accuracy text rendering.
Seedream 5.5 backend provider and Worker pipeline are currently being connected. This page allows you to preview capabilities, study prompt recipes, and prepare presets. Online generation will be unlocked immediately once API certification completes.
Traditional inpainting frequently introduces edge seams, lighting shifts, or subtle distortion to non-selected pixels. Seedream 5.5 implements strict pixel-freezing for unedited regions, allowing designers to perform up to 100 consecutive modification rounds without degrading base quality.
Instead of generating an RGB background and running an edge-detection segmentation algorithm, Seedream 5.5 calculates the alpha channel directly during diffusion. This yields realistic transparency on glass, liquids, smoke, and hair contours.
