Seedream 5.0 PRO
If you’re tired of Banana’s recent glitches, here’s a new toy.
Seedream 5.0 Pro is focused on editing tools: select an area with a point, box, lasso, color mark, or sketch, then add/remove objects, change colors by HEX, replace materials, or turn sketches into finished designs.
The underrated part: layers — PNG with transparency. It can split an image into 10+ independent layers: text, background, characters, decorations, and even restore hidden background areas.
Also: lots of focus on infographics and text. Weirdly, native resolution seems capped at 2K.
Available via API on BytePlus and aggregators.
Price-wise, it looks about half the cost of Banana — but check for yourself.
I also made a Seedream 5.0 Pro vs GPT-Image-2 comparison.
The one with the bigger white car is Seedream. Both look great.
