"Our online ordering jumped 30% after updating the menu photos. The food looks so much more appetizing now — warm lighting makes all the difference." @ChefMikeRestaurant
Built for Restaurant Menu Professionals
Menu photos directly drive orders. Studies show restaurants with professional food photos get 30% more online orders. But professional food photography costs $50-100 per dish. EditThisPic makes your phone photos look like they came from a food photographer — warm, appetizing, and true to the dish.

Common Issues
Food photo looks cold and unappetizing
Why: Phone cameras capture food under harsh or cool lighting that kills the warmth
Adding 'warm' and 'appetizing' triggers AI to use food photography techniques
Harsh flash creates shiny glare on dishes
Why: Direct flash reflects off sauces, glazes, and wet surfaces
Soft overhead lighting is the gold standard for food — AI knows this pattern well
Messy table or background visible in shot
Why: Real restaurant tables have napkins, clutter, and other diners
Focus on the immediate area around the plate rather than the entire background
Colors look off — food appears grey or blue
Why: Mixed lighting (daylight + indoor) confuses white balance
Mention specific colors if known (e.g., 'the tomato should be bright red')
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make food photos look more appetizing?
Warm lighting is the key. Use prompts with 'warm,' 'appetizing,' and 'fresh.' The AI enhances colors to look vibrant without oversaturation, making dishes look as good as they taste.
Should I use professional food photography?
Professional food photography is ideal but expensive ($50-100/dish). EditThisPic gets you 80% of the way there with phone photos for a fraction of the cost. Great for regular menu updates and delivery app photos.
Can I use enhanced photos on DoorDash and UberEats?
Absolutely. Delivery apps recommend professional-quality food photos. Enhanced photos meet their quality standards and drive more orders.
Will the food still look like what customers receive?
Yes, if you start with a photo of the actual dish. Enhanced lighting and colors show the food at its best without creating false expectations. The dish still looks like what arrives at the table.
How many menu photos should I have?
Every dish should have a photo for online ordering. Studies show dishes without photos get ordered significantly less. Start with your top sellers and expand.
Is this really free?
Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For updating an entire menu, plans start at $3.99/month.
