# ByteDance's Seedream 5.5 promises up to 100 rounds of image edits without the colors drifting

> It keeps untouched pixels identical between edits, outputs transparent PNG-ready images, and renders dense small text better, ByteDance says.

ByteDance's Seed team has released Seedream 5.5, an image model aimed at professional production work, [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/bytedances-seedream-5-5-promises-pixel-stable-image-editing-across-100-rounds-without-color-drift/) reports.

## What's new

- **Stable editing over many rounds.** ByteDance says you can edit an image up to 100 times in a row while the parts you didn't touch stay identical down to the pixel, with no color shift creeping in. That drift has been a common headache in multi-step AI editing, and a recent Flux model also did well here.
- **Transparent backgrounds.** It generates RGBA images natively, so an object can drop straight into a design without someone cutting it out by hand.
- **Realism and text.** Light, materials and skin texture look more realistic, ByteDance says, and dense, small text comes out more accurately. It claims Seedream 5.5 beats models like GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst on text structure and realism.

Those comparisons are ByteDance's own. The model is rolling out gradually through Jimeng, Doubao, Doubao Work and the Volcengine Ark platform, and a Pro version is planned.

**[Scoreboard](/scoreboard) update:** AI +1. An image model keeps its edits stable for 100 rounds, the chore designers used to fix by hand.

Stay undead.
