How to write a Seedream 5 Pro Edit prompt
- 1
Add the source image
Upload the image to edit; add further references only when the edit should borrow from them.
- 2
Describe one precise change
Name exactly what changes and state what must be preserved — the model rewards explicit constraints.
- 3
Pick a format
Choose an aspect ratio; output renders in the billed ≤1536² tier as PNG.
- 4
Iterate edit by edit
Chain single-change edits rather than bundling several changes into one prompt.
