# ByteDance Releases Seedream 5.0 Pro with Layer Separation and Multilingual Support

> ByteDance's Seed team has released Seedream 5.0 Pro, an image generation model that leans hard into practical editing rather than just pretty pictures. Its headline trick is layer separation: instead of a flat render, it can split an image into ten or more transparent PNG layers, auto-filling whatever sits behind a masked object. That is the kind of feature designers have wanted from generative tools for years. The model is also tuned for information-dense work, generating infographics with accurate data and clean text, and it supports prompts in more than ten languages including Chinese, English, Arabic, Japanese and Russian. Interactive controls let users position elements spatially and edit specific regions by meaning rather than by hand. Seedream is another reminder that some of the most usable image tooling is now coming out of China, aimed squarely at real production workflows rather than novelty.
