SeedEdit lets you change photos just by typing what you want. Want to change a face or drop a new background in? It does that in like 10 to 15 seconds. And it leaves the rest of your photo alone - preserves the details instead of messing with them.
The team at ByteDance behind Seedream 3.0 and SeedVLM cooked this thing up. They trained it on tons of image and prompt pairs using a model that learns by doing and by getting better rewards over time. Sounds fancy but bottom line is it listens better and messes up less.
They dropped version 3.0 in late June 2025. It's built for real-world edits so it holds onto important stuff like who’s in the photo and tweaks the rest. Backgrounds lighting even text all get cleaned up better than before.
And it's fast. While older versions or tools like GPT‑4o and Gemini 2.0 can take up to a minute SeedEdit 3.0 does the job in 10–15 seconds. That’s a huge win if you’re working with lots of pictures.
