Good AI image prompts specify the subject, composition, lighting, materials, exact text, and details to preserve. These 30 AI image prompts and AI image editing prompts cover transparent assets, menus, posters, products, portraits, and successive revisions in Seedream 5.5. Copy a card or choose Open in ChatCut to carry its prompt into the editor.

Key Takeaways

  • Choose the deliverable first. A sticker needs a complete silhouette, a menu needs exact copy, and a product image needs believable materials and contact shadows.
  • Give edits a source and a boundary. Prompts 26–28 form a portrait-editing sequence, and 29–30 revise the poster from prompt 11.
  • Check the exported image. Inspect alpha edges, small lettering, product geometry, and details carried through successive edits.
  • Keep a useful still in the project. In ChatCut, it can become a timeline asset or the first frame for a generated video.

How to use and check these Seedream prompts

For a new image, write deliverable + subject + layout + lighting and materials + exact copy + constraints. For an edit, write source image + one change + details to preserve. The cards include concrete subjects so you can run them as written, then adapt one detail at a time.

Prompt anatomy diagram: a new-image prompt split into deliverable, subject, layout, light and materials, exact copy and constraints; an edit prompt split into source image, one change and details to keep.
The two prompt formulas used throughout this collection, shown on the night-market poster example.

ByteDance introduced Seedream 5.5 on November 9, 2026, emphasizing successive editing, native alpha-channel output, natural materials and skin, and clearer small text. Those capabilities guide the tasks in this collection. Read the official announcement.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good AI image prompts?
Specify the deliverable, subject, composition, lighting, materials, exact text, and constraints. Start with a card that fits your task, then change one detail at a time. For an edit, identify the input image, the requested change, and the details to preserve.
Where can I find AI image prompt examples to copy and paste?
This collection contains 30 complete prompts across six task groups. Each card pairs a prompt with its image and a specific visual check, alongside Copy and Open in ChatCut controls. For prompts 26–30, attach the earlier result named on the card.
What are good AI image editing prompts?
A useful editing prompt names one change and the surrounding details to preserve. Prompts 26–28 recolor a scarf, add a brooch, and replace that brooch in successive rounds. Prompts 29–30 update a poster date and then its footer color, using each accepted output as the next input.
How do I write AI image generator prompts for social media?
Name the placement, intended shape, subject, copy area, and exact words. Prompt 12 provides a square sale graphic, prompt 13 reserves space in a vertical ad, and prompt 15 puts a headline beside a product-like focal image. Preview the result at the size your audience will see.
What should I include in Seedream 5.5 prompts for transparent backgrounds?
Request RGBA output, transparent space around the complete subject, and clear gaps between elements. ByteDance describes full and partial transparency in the model's capabilities. Check ChatCut's output settings and inspect the exported alpha channel. Official model examples.
Do Seedream prompts need negative prompts?
Include concrete exclusions in the main brief, such as extra text, additional products, or an opaque backdrop. Use a separate negative-prompt field according to the settings documented by the service where you generate.
Are these AI image prompts free to use?
You can copy and adapt the prompts in this article. Image generation follows the service's plans and credit pricing. See our Seedream access and pricing guide for the available routes and their conditions.
Can I use Seedream 5.5 prompts in ChatCut?
