Tell Seedream 5.0 what to change and keep
Write the change in plain words. Name the parts that should stay the same, then say what you want to add, remove, or replace.
Edit with a prompt
Upload a photo and write the change you want. You do not need to draw over the photo or pick a tool from a long menu.
Add up to five photos
Seedream 5 Pro and Lite accept one to five input images. Each photo can give the model more details to use.
Say what should stay
Name the subject, color, label, pose, or camera view that should not change. Put this in the same prompt as your edit.
Start with Pro
The page opens with Seedream 5 Pro edit selected. You can switch to Seedream 5 Lite before you run the edit.
Choose 1K or 2K
Pro and Lite both offer 1K and 2K output. Set the size before you run the edit.
Download PNG or JPEG
Each run makes one new image. Choose PNG or JPEG, check the credit cost, and then start the edit.
How to edit a photo with a prompt
Add your photos, write one clear change, and download the new image. You can change the prompt and try again.
Upload your photos
Add the photo you want to change. With Seedream 5 Pro or Lite, you can add up to five input images.
Write the change
Say what to change and what to keep. For example, keep the bottle and label, but replace the background.
Choose settings and edit
Pick Pro or Lite, set 1K or 2K, and check the credits. Run the edit, then download PNG or JPEG.
Photo edits you can ask for
Use the image editor when you already have a photo and want a new version made from a prompt.
New product backgrounds
Keep the product and replace a busy background with a simple room, table, wall, or outdoor setting.
New colors or materials
Ask to change a shirt, chair, package, or wall to a new color or material while other parts stay the same.
Ad photo changes
Give an ad photo a new season, light, or setting without starting from a blank prompt.
Several photo references
Upload more views of a product or person. Tell the model which details to use from each photo.
New image shapes
Choose another aspect ratio, then ask for more background around the subject to fit the new shape.
Simple object changes
Ask to add, remove, or replace an item. Use a clear prompt and check that the rest of the photo stayed close.
Fix an edit that misses your prompt
A clear change is easier to follow. Name what should stay, and split a hard edit into smaller steps.
Use one main change
Start with one job, such as changing the background. Add another change in a new run after the first one looks right.
Name what should stay
If the subject changes too much, add a short keep list. Name the face, product shape, label, pose, or camera view.
Use clear photos
Upload the clearest photo you have. A small or blurry photo gives the model less detail to use.
Check the five-photo limit
Seedream 5 accepts up to five input images. Other models on the page may allow a different number.
Do not look for a brush
This page has no mask, brush, lasso, or layer tool. Put the place and the change into your prompt.
Try a simpler change
If a small item will not change, shorten the prompt and name the item by its color, place, and shape.
