> > 🚧 **This model is not yet available, stay tuned**

- Seedream 5.5 (doubao-seedream-5.5) supports text-to-image, image-to-image and image editing, including transparent backgrounds
- Processing is asynchronous. Use the returned task ID to [query task status](/en/api-manual/task-management/get-task-detail)
- Generated image links are valid for 24 hours; save them promptly

### Billing

- Charges are based on the actual number of generated images
- Reference images are charged separately from generated images

          description: >-
            Prompt describing the image you want to generate, or describing how
            to edit the input image


            **Language support:** In addition to Chinese and English, Seedream
            5.5 also supports Russian, Arabic, Filipino, Thai, Turkish, Korean,
            Malay, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, French, German, Vietnamese
            and Japanese.


            **Length limit:** Up to `4000` tokens (about 2,600 Chinese
            characters or 5,000 English words); exceeding it returns `400` and
            is not billed.


            **Recommendation:** Keep prompts under 300 Chinese characters or 600
            English words. A longer prompt still fits the limit but dilutes the
            information, and the model may miss details, leaving elements out of
            the image.
          example: A serene lake reflecting the beautiful sunset
        size:
          type: string
          description: >-
            Size of generated image, supports two formats:


            **Method 1 - Ratio format:**

            - `auto`, `1:1`, `2:3`, `3:2`, `3:4`, `4:3`, `4:5`, `5:4`, `9:16`,
            `16:9`, `21:9`, `9:21`

            - Works with the `quality` parameter to automatically generate an
            image at the corresponding aspect ratio and resolution, without
            manually specifying pixels


            **Method 2 - Pixel format:**

            - Width x height, e.g.: `1024x1024`, `2048x2048`

            - Total pixel range: `[921600, 4624220]`

            - Aspect ratio range: `[1/16, 16]`

            - Both width and height must be greater than `14px`


            Defaults to `auto` when `size` is omitted. The model determines the
            aspect ratio from the prompt, and `quality` sets the output
            resolution.
          default: auto
          example: '16:9'
        quality:

            features


            **Note:**

            - Reference images are charged separately from generated images

            - Single request supports input image quantity: `10` images

            - Image size: no more than `30MB`

            - Supported image formats: `.jpeg`, `.jpg`, `.png`, `.webp`, `.bmp`,
            `.tiff`, `.gif`, `.heic`, `.heif`

            - Aspect ratio (width/height) range: `[1/16, 16]`

            - Width and height (px) > 14

            - Total pixels: `[196, 6000×6000]`

            - Image URLs must be directly viewable by the server, or the image
            URL should trigger direct download when accessed (typically these
            URLs end with image file extensions, such as `.png`, `.jpg`)

            **Options:**

            - `png`: PNG format (default)

            - `jpeg`: JPEG format


            **Note:** With `background=transparent`, output is always png:
            omitting `output_format` automatically produces png, while
            specifying `jpeg` is rejected.

        background:
          type: string
          description: >-
            Output background type. Defaults to `auto`.


            **Options:**

            - `auto`: The model determines the background from the prompt and
            reference images. `result_data[].background` in the task detail
            returns the actual type: `transparent` or `opaque`

            - `transparent`: Generate a PNG image with an alpha channel.
            Supported for both text-to-image and image-to-image

            - `opaque`: Generate an image with an opaque background


            **When using `transparent`:**

            - Reference images are optional. If provided, up to `10` are
            supported and they do not need an alpha channel

            - Output must be `png`. Omitting `output_format` uses `png`
            automatically; passing `jpeg` returns an error
          enum:
            - auto

            HTTPS callback address after task completion


            **Callback Timing:**

            - Triggered when task is completed, failed, or cancelled

            - Sent after billing confirmation is completed


            **Security Restrictions:**

            - Only HTTPS protocol is supported

            - Callback to internal IP addresses is prohibited (127.0.0.1,
            10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.)

            - URL length must not exceed `2048` characters


            **Callback Mechanism:**

            - Timeout: `10` seconds

            - Maximum `3` retries on failure (retries after `1` second/`2`
            seconds/`4` seconds)

            - Callback response body format is consistent with the task query
            API response format

            - Callback address returning 2xx status code is considered
            successful, other status codes will trigger retry
