🎨 ByteDance releases Seedream 5.5
On November 9, 2026, the Seed team introduced a model for image generation and multi-step editing: up to 100 sequential edits of a single frame while preserving composition and lighting, transparent RGBA background, and precise text. It is available in Dreamina, CapCut, BytePlus, and Volcano Engine Ark; 2K editing costs 0.28 yuan.
🌍 Editing instead of one-shot generation — scenarios for designers, video production, and e-commerce where repeatable edits, RGBA layers, and typography are needed. Cheap 2K editing and distribution via CapCut and Dreamina give ByteDance millions of creators.
👤 Try it in Dreamina and CapCut (not available to everyone): up to 100 edits without 'distorted' composition, PNG with transparent background for compositing, and precise text. Limitations: one image at a time, maximum 2K resolution, and prompts up to 5,000 characters.
