Three Core Capabilities, One Model
Seedream 5.0 is built around layer separation, native multilingual generation, and precision editing - plus dense layouts and reference-based editing.
Native Multilingual Generation
Renders text natively in a dozen widely-used languages - beyond Chinese and English, including French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Arabic. It goes past translation: architecture, facial features, and clothing adapt to each language's cultural context.
Layer Separation
Splits a generated image into independent, editable layers straight from a single prompt - separating subject, text, background, and environmental details, and automatically inpainting whatever a removed element was hiding. Every layer keeps its transparency, so you can drag, scale, or swap elements freely, even replacing the main subject entirely.
Precision Editing
Responds accurately to spatial annotations and sketch-based guidance - point selection, lasso selection, color editing, and material replacement - turning abstract intent into high-fidelity edits.
Photographic Realism
High-detail, photo-realistic output at resolutions up to 2048x2048 for production-grade results.
Dense, Structured Layouts
Built for infographics, technical diagrams, and posters where dense text and structured design need to stay sharp.
Reference-Based Editing
Combine up to 10 reference images in a single edit to swap products, merge logos, or blend styles.

Seedream 5.0 combines dense layout understanding, multilingual text, and precision editing in one API.
