Answers for restaurant teams using FoodPhoto.ai.
A plain-English guide to credits, commercial use, the browser-based Studio, and the separate iPhone workflow.
Product
What is FoodPhoto.ai?
FoodPhoto.ai is a browser-based AI food photography Studio for restaurants. Upload a real dish photo, select a food-specific style, and use our backend to create a polished menu image for delivery apps, websites, Google Business, social posts, and printed menus. A separate iPhone app is also available for mobile workflows.
Will FoodPhoto.ai change the dish or invent ingredients?
No. The product is designed for ingredient-faithful enhancement. It improves lighting, color, background, crop, and texture while keeping the actual plate, portion, garnish, and ingredients honest.
Do I need professional camera gear?
No. A clear phone photo is enough. Better source photos produce better results, but the workflow is built for busy restaurants that need usable menu photos without a studio setup.
Where do I start?
Open the FoodPhoto web Studio at foodphoto.ai/studio/. It handles photo upload, style choice, account verification, credits, generation, and export in a browser. The separate iPhone app is optional for mobile workflows.
Credits and pricing
Is there a free trial?
Yes. After account verification, FoodPhoto includes two server-watermarked previews at normal quality with no card. Only successful previews count. Paid successful generations consume credits.
What counts as one credit?
One successful final generation consumes one credit. Failed jobs do not consume a credit. Choosing a photo, goal, crop, or preset does not consume credits.
How long are Menu Test Pack credits available?
Purchased pack credits are separate from monthly subscription credits. FoodPhoto begins with two previews on your own dish, with a verified account and no card. Free previews are significantly slower than paid plans and are prepared in a separate queue: about 30–35 seconds in normal conditions, and longer when the service is busy or the edit is complex. Keep the chat open and do not repeat the request while it processes. See the current plans and usage estimates for photos, menus and campaigns.
How do I manage my web subscription?
Web checkout uses Stripe. You can manage or cancel your monthly web plan from your FoodPhoto account. The separate iPhone app is available for mobile workflows.
Can teams buy more volume?
Yes. Higher-volume restaurants, agencies, ghost kitchens, and delivery operators can use larger credit packs or contact FoodPhoto.ai for enterprise support.
Outputs
Can I use the photos commercially?
Yes. Generated images can be used for restaurant menus, delivery listings, websites, Google Business, social ads, and printed materials.
Which platforms are supported?
FoodPhoto.ai is built for common restaurant channels including DoorDash, Uber Eats, Google Business, websites, social posts, QR menus, and printed menus.
Are there watermarks?
Yes. Your two free previews include a FoodPhoto.ai watermark. They are available after account verification, with no card required. Only successful previews count. Paid successful outputs are watermark-free and can be used commercially.
Browser-based Studio
Start with one real dish.
Upload a real dish photo and choose a style in the web Studio. The backend runs generation only after account and credit checks pass.
