Change one part, keep the rest
Add a photo and say what to change: a color, a material, an object. The rest of the picture stays as it was, so you can keep editing the same picture round after round.

FotoErgebnisMake and edit pictures with ByteDance's Seedream 5.5: write what you want, or add photos and say what to change. PicYep is an independent studio that runs the model through Volcengine's API; it is not affiliated with ByteDance.
What ByteDance and the first API documentation say Seedream 5.5 adds. Each point links to where it is said.
Change what you ask for, again and again, while everything you did not touch stays the same down to the pixel: furniture added to a room, a watch face updated, a look refined.

Seedream 5.5 is the newest image model in ByteDance's Seedream family, after Seedream 5.0 Pro. It makes pictures from a prompt and edits the photos you give it, and ByteDance names three advances: edits over many rounds that leave everything else untouched, transparent and semi-transparent backgrounds made directly, and more lifelike light, materials and skin. On PicYep it runs in the browser: write a prompt, add photos if you want, pick a shape and a size, and the price shows on the button before you generate.

Seedream 5.5 follows Seedream 5.0 Pro, which ByteDance opened on Volcengine in July 2026. Both make pictures from a prompt and edit the photos you give them; 5.5 is the one to choose when you edit a picture in several rounds or need small text to be exact.
Seedream 5.0 Pro stays on PicYep, so you can give both the same prompt and keep the one you like.
Ask for one change at a time and say what must stay the same. The next change goes on the result.
Words that must appear in the picture go in quotation marks, with where they go and how big.
"The mug from the first photo, on the counter from the second": naming each photo keeps them from being mixed up.
Settle the idea at 1K, then make the picture you keep at 2K.
It is free to try on PicYep: a new account starts with free credits, and no card is needed to sign up. After that each picture costs credits, shown on the button before you generate.
ByteDance names three advances: edits over many rounds that keep untouched areas pixel for pixel, transparent and semi-transparent backgrounds made directly, and more lifelike light, materials and skin. The first API documentation adds splitting a picture into up to 100 layers, against 16 on 5.0 Pro, and transparent output from both prompts and photos.
