The update centers on three pillars: a reimagined infinite canvas with Agent co-creation, a new Skills system that turns repetitive workflows into one-click reusable capabilities, and the integration of ByteDance's state-of-the-art image model Seedream 5.0 Pro. Together, these advances bring the power of a professional design studio directly into the browser—no design background required. A Canvas Without Limits At the heart of <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=oHIwll5IHDUumdP_pcb9sZ9dZA36f-VtV9TWlJ6g6gwMFS2JWZrDnVin6dk9hKf0rnJl3DE86a4o3pLYdxkQhUjqRKtrXG2uxIXP5ZY9j0Tr2jjvHNiiL2sCC4_F1Bzu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Design Studio</a> is an infinite canvas inspired by tools like Figma, but rebuilt from the ground up for the AI era. An AI Agent lives natively inside the canvas, meaning users can start generating or modifying any element—an image, a text block, a sketch—right where it sits, without jumping between dialog boxes or tabs. <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width:100%; border-collapse:collapse ;"><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Canvas Capability</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">What It Does</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Batch Comparison &amp; Iteration</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Generate multiple variations, arrange them side by side, and extend any direction on an endless canvas.</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">LUI Instant Creation</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Click anywhere on the canvas to begin creating with natural language; the Agent understands context from surrounding content.</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">GUI Precision Editing</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">One-click background removal, custom cutout, intelligent outpainting, 8K upscaling, and local erasure.</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Batch Text Replacement</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Automatically detect all text in an image, then modify, replace, or translate into 50+ languages in one action.</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Multi-Modal Intent Expression</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Use brushes, shapes, or scribbles to communicate creative intent beyond words, with coordinate and region selection for surgical precision.</td></tr></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width:100%; border-collapse:collapse ;"><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">"Design Studio was built to collapse the distance between an idea and a finished asset.

Skills package common, repeatable design workflows into one-click, reusable capabilities—so creators never have to start from scratch. Scenario-Based Skills Pre-built for high-frequency creative needs such as brand kits and social media graphic sets. These cover popular use cases out of the box, with new categories added continuously. Custom Skills Users can encapsulate their own recurring workflows—say, an e-commerce main image set of four, or a fixed brand-style image template—into a single reusable skill. This turns hard-won creative experience into a repeatable asset, sharable across teams and projects. The Skills ecosystem is designed to grow. The roadmap includes: <ul><li style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:6pt;">Skills Library with auto-suggestion based on conversation history</li></ul> <ul><li style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:6pt;">Deeper Brand-Kit Integration with logo, font, color, and layout assets</li></ul> <ul><li style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:6pt;">AI-Powered Brand-Style Consistency across all generated outputs</li></ul> Seedream 5.0 Pro: From "Looks Good" to "Ready to Ship" The most significant model integration in this update is <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=o1l2ACvwzJV4e8qi0YYZk7pD2XGxFDeR5KRUH6SU8BUhk9uT2cK4lD8YhDH2KYEy3eigjVbyUBgDMcNOzbHjf4L54vuVn1L50TH4jB1IGcc=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Seedream 5.0 Pro</a>, ByteDance's latest multimodal image generation model, officially released on July 8, 2026. Design Studio is among the first products to bring its full editing capabilities to a consumer-facing creative tool. Seedream 5.0 Pro is not just another text-to-image model. It represents a shift from "visually pleasing output" to "production-ready assets" through four core breakthroughs: <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width:100%; border-collapse:collapse ;"><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Core Breakthrough</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Description</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">1. Interactive Precise Editing</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Users can specify edit locations through point selection, bounding boxes, arrows, coordinate inputs, and color codes. This enables surgical, localized modifications without regenerating the entire image—a capability previously available only in high-end professional tools.</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">2.

Users can move, hide, reorder, delete, or locally modify individual elements. Even without a source file, you can adjust an existing design as if you had the original project. Seedream 5.0 Pro can also directly generate layer-separated outputs, eliminating the need for post-processing.</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">3.

It also demonstrates deeper understanding of local cultural garments and patterns, making it ideal for global, localized content creation.</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">4.

Among the few stable, production-grade point-select editing solutions available industry-wide. Layer Separation Split an entire image or a local region into layers; even legacy assets can be edited as if the source file were on hand. Intelligent Color Remix Sample color from any point on the canvas, then one-click restyle the entire image or a locked region. Supports brand color palettes and saved swatches. Brush Creation From stick figures to emoji to color-block sketches, anything drawn on the canvas can be turned into a complete, polished image. Creative Fusion Position multiple images on the canvas, and the model fuses them into a single, seamless composition that respects physical relationships—no visible seams. SOTA Models, Fully Selectable Beyond Seedream 5.0 Pro, Design Studio continues to offer access to the industry's leading image generation models—intelligently selecting the best model for each creative scenario to maximize output quality. <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width:100%; border-collapse:collapse ;"><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Model</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Strength</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Seedream 5.0 Pro</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Interactive editing, layer separation, multilingual generation, cinematic quality</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Nano Banana 2</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">High-fidelity general-purpose image generation</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Nano Banana Pro</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Enhanced detail and style consistency</td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">GPT Image 2</td><td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; padding-left: 10.0px; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: top ; ">Strong text rendering and complex scene composition</td></tr></table> Built for Marketers, Sellers, and Creators The combined upgrade is purpose-built for the practical needs of e-commerce sellers, social media creators, and marketing teams: E-commerce Generate product photos with consistent brand styling, split images into layers for platform-specific sizing, and batch-produce main images, banners, and promotional materials. Social Media Create on-brand graphics across platforms with one-click multi-size and multi-language variants. Brand Teams Upload brand kits (logo, font, color, layout), and the Agent intelligently applies brand elements across every generated asset for visual consistency.
