Sign in and write a line or two first — Enhance rewrites what you have.
Mark any spot with a dot, box, or rough sketch, then type your change in one sentence. Seedream 5 Pro updates only that marked area and blends it into your original image, so you never redraw the whole layout for a quick fix.
Turn one PNG or JPEG into a base image plus up to 16 transparent PNG layers for your text, subject, and background. Seedream 5 Pro fills in hidden backgrounds automatically so you can move or recolor any layer in your design app.
Put headlines, discount terms, and event dates right where you want them with zero spelling errors. Seedream 5 Pro builds finished posters, menus, and price lists so you skip fixing text by hand.
Add your numbers, dates, and names into the prompt to generate timelines, bar charts, and pie charts together in one image. Seedream 5 Pro turns your data into clear visual guides with every detail laid out as given.
Generate the same layout in English, Spanish, Japanese, or Arabic with correct right-to-left reading and accents. Seedream 5 Pro creates visuals across 16 languages with clothing, people, and buildings tailored to each local culture.
Upload up to 10 reference images and assign each one a clear job, like your subject, pose, or background. Seedream 5 Pro blends files up to 30 MB into one unified picture with the exact look you want.
Bring your headline, offer, prices, and product photo to get finished flyers, sales posters, and menus with every word in place. Pick square, vertical, or wide sizes and launch ready-to-run promos in minutes.
Upload one product photo and scene references to generate store banners and clean product detail shots. Mark just one spot to swap a label, apply a Hex code color, or change a material without setting up a new photo shoot.
Point at one spot on your design to make quick revisions, turn rough sketches into finished layouts, or split a flat image into up to 16 transparent PNG layers. Speed up client approvals and keep your core design intact.
Turn your raw notes, numbers, and dates into clear infographics, timelines, and study guides in one image. Keep your students and audiences engaged with sharp charts and clean text.
Upload an English poster or menu to generate matching versions in Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, and 13 other languages while keeping your exact layout. Expand into new markets without rebuilding your visual assets from scratch.
Generate consistent character sheets and storyboard panels from simple text descriptions. Take your favorite first frame and bring it to life with image to video AI in the Seedance 2.5 AI video maker.
Write what you want to see with text in quotation marks, or upload up to 10 reference images and give each one a job.
Choose 1K, 1.5K, or 2K size along with one of eight aspect ratios from 1:1 to 21:9, then generate your image.
Mark any spot you want to change, split the image into transparent layers, and download your finished PNG or JPEG.

Upload your image, mark the exact spot with a dot, a circle, a box, an arrow or a doodle, and say in one sentence what to change and what stays the same. You can recolor an area with a Hex code or swatch image, swap a material, or put a new subject inside a frame you draw. Read ByteDance's Seedream 5 Pro editing guide to see how only that spot changes while the rest of your image stays untouched.
Yes. Upload one PNG or JPEG to get one base image plus up to 16 transparent PNG layers, such as your headline text, main subject and background.

Write full sentences about your subject, style, colors, layout and lighting, using up to 600 English words. Put the exact text you want on the image inside quotation marks, and name its placement and language. For an infographic, write out the real numbers, names and dates, and when you use reference images, give each one a distinct job like the product from image 1 and the pose from image 2.
