How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Choose a clear photo where the area you want to edit is visible.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.
  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'enhance this food photo — warm colors, sharp texture detail, appetizing presentation, professional food photography lighting.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Mention the type of cuisine and lighting style — 'warm overhead lighting on Italian pasta' is more specific than 'make food look better.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Food Photography Enhancer enhance this food photo for a restaurant menu — warm, vibrant colors, sharp texture detail, professional plating presentation
    Delivery app listing enhance this food photo for a delivery app — bright, clear, and appetizing — clean background, vivid colors, sharp focus on the dish
    Food blog hero shot enhance this food photo with a editorial food blog style — moody warm light from the side, shallow depth of field, rustic background
    Instagram food post enhance this food photo for Instagram — bright, vibrant, and share-worthy with warm tones and sharp detail
    2 more prompts
    Catering portfolio enhance this catering photo to showcase the spread — even bright lighting, sharp detail on every dish, clean professional presentation
    Recipe blog thumbnail enhance this recipe photo — improve colors and contrast, sharpen textures, add a soft warm vignette to draw focus to the dish
  3. Review the result

    Check the output carefully. Look for natural blending, consistent lighting, and realistic details. Compare before and after using the slider.

  4. Refine if needed

    If specific areas need adjustment, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most edits work well on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

If something looks off

Food looks artificial or plastic

Why: The enhancement went too far, removing natural texture.

Try: Regenerate with: 'keep natural food texture, just enhance the colors slightly'

Tip: Less is more with food photos — subtle enhancements look more appetizing than heavy edits.

Colors look oversaturated

Why: The AI boosted colors too aggressively.

Try: Add: 'natural, realistic colors — not oversaturated'

Tip: Warm whites and natural greens are key — neon-bright food never looks appetizing.

Background became distracting

Why: The AI enhanced background elements equally.

Try: Add: 'keep background soft and out of focus, enhance only the food'

Tip: Shallow depth of field (blurry background) is the hallmark of professional food photography.

Added element looks wrong scale

Why: Garnish or drizzle is too large or small.

Try: Specify size: 'small fresh basil leaves' or 'thin drizzle of balsamic reduction'

Tip: Reference the plate size to help the AI get proportions right.

Quick answers

Can AI enhance food photos for free?

Yes. Upload your food photo to EditThisPic and type 'enhance this food photo — warm colors, sharp texture, professional lighting.' Free with no signup for one edit per week.

Will enhanced food photos improve delivery app performance?

Studies show that professional food photos increase order rates by 30-40% on delivery platforms. AI enhancement gets your menu photos to that professional standard without a photographer.

Can I use this for a restaurant menu?

Yes. Use the prompt 'enhance for a restaurant menu — warm vibrant colors, sharp detail, professional presentation.' The AI applies the right color treatment and lighting for print and digital menus.

Can AI add a background to food photos?

Yes. Describe the scene you want — 'replace background with a rustic wooden table with natural window light.' The AI places the food in the new setting with matching lighting.

Does this work on homemade food photos?

Yes. Home cooks can get professional-looking results from basic phone photos. Good natural daylight in the original photo gives the AI the most to work with.

Is there a watermark?

No. EditThisPic never adds watermarks. Your enhanced food photo downloads clean.

What's the best tip for food photo AI enhancement?

Start with the best photo you can take — well-lit, sharp, and appetizing composition. The AI enhances what's there; it can't fix a dark, blurry, or unappetizing composition. Think of it as a professional finishing tool, not a rescue tool.

Is it free?

Yes. One free Quick edit per week, no signup. Credit packs from $1.99 for more.
