Built for soup menus

Soup Styles

Purées that look velvety, not beige

Phone cameras flatten a purée into one dull tone. FoodShot relights your bowl so the gloss, cream swirl and true color come through, then sets it in one of 200+ styles — rustic oak, dark slate, warm linen or bright café marble — with the soup itself kept exactly as you made it.

Builder Mode

Build one scene for every bowl

Pick the surface, backdrop and setting yourself — a farmhouse table, a marble counter, a dark bistro top — and upload your soup. Builder Mode lights the whole scene as one, so every soup of the day lands in the same frame, week after week.

Try Builder Mode→

My Styles

Your own counter in every photo

Upload a photo of your own tabletop, counter or bowls to My Styles as a style reference. Every soup you shoot after that inherits its light and surfaces, so Monday's lentil and Friday's chowder look like one menu, shot on one day.

FAQ

Soup Photography FAQ

Common questions about food photography for cafés and soup bars.

hello@foodshot.ai

FoodShot AI is a web and mobile app for restaurants, cafés, bakeries and other food businesses. You upload a photo of a dish you already have, choose one of 200+ styles, and in about a minute FoodShot AI turns it into a professional 4K food photo that you can download and use on your menu, delivery apps, website and social media. On foodshot.ai, plans start at $15 a month for about 25 photos ($9 a month billed yearly), and every plan includes a commercial license.

It's simple! Upload a photo of your food, choose your desired style (menu photography or social media format), and click generate. Each photo takes about a minute. For poster creation, select from our professional templates, add your text, and create marketing-ready content.

Yes! Download our mobile app from the App Store to create stunning dish photos on the go. Access all features directly from your iOS device.

Yes! FoodShot AI is now available on Android. You can download it from Google Play and start creating professional food photos directly from your Android device.

With a paid plan, you can use the images you create for any lawful commercial purpose, including your restaurant, menus, delivery apps, marketing campaigns and social media. FoodShot does not claim ownership of them. See our Terms of Service for details.

Yes. The Scale plan processes up to 5 photos at once. For larger volumes or volume pricing, email us at hello@foodshot.ai about the Enterprise plan.

Yes. Plans renew each month, or each year on yearly billing, until you cancel. To cancel, open Settings and click Manage subscription — it opens your Stripe billing portal, where you can cancel in one click. Fully self-serve, no questions asked, takes under a minute. Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period.

Yes, plan changes take effect immediately. You can upgrade or downgrade directly from your account dashboard. The new pricing will be adjusted for your current billing cycle.

We offer a full refund if you haven't used any credits in your current billing period. Refund requests must be made within 7 days of payment. Previous billing periods are non-refundable. Simply contact us at hello@foodshot.ai if you're not satisfied.

No, unused credits do not roll over to the next month. This applies to both monthly and yearly plans. Credits refresh every month regardless of your billing plan.

Yes! With our custom photography feature, you can upload your own reference images to create consistent branded content. Upload your restaurant's signature background, plating style, or any reference photo, and FoodShot AI will generate new images matching that exact style.

Absolutely! Once you upload a custom background or reference template, you can use it for all your future generations. This is perfect for maintaining consistent branding across all your food photography. Save your favorite backgrounds and create a cohesive visual identity for your restaurant.

FoodShot AI supports all major image formats including JPG, PNG, WEBP, and HEIC. For best results, we recommend using high-quality images with good lighting. The AI will analyze your reference and apply the same style, lighting, and composition to your food photos.

Yes! You can upload your own poster designs and templates. Whether it's your restaurant's branded template or a custom design, simply upload it and FoodShot AI will intelligently place your food photos while preserving your design elements, logos, and text.

All paid plans include unlimited custom template uploads. You can build an entire library of your brand's templates, backgrounds, and reference styles.

No — a clear phone photo is enough. Shoot the bowl from above or at a gentle angle in daylight, keep the whole rim in the frame and wipe any drips. FoodShot relights the soup, sets it on the surface you choose and delivers a 4K photo in about a minute.

Yes — for menus, websites and delivery apps, one phone shot per soup does the job of a soup photoshoot. Pick a style, upload the bowl and FoodShot returns a studio-quality photo in about a minute, so a new soup of the day can go up the same morning.

Yes. FoodShot keeps your soup as you made it — the color, texture, toppings and portion stay yours. What changes is the light, the bowl, the surface and the setting around it, so a flat phone shot of lentil soup comes back with depth, gloss and an appetizing frame.

Flat overhead light hides the gloss on a purée, and phone cameras average its color toward one muted tone. FoodShot relights the bowl with directional light, so a pumpkin soup reads bright orange again, a tomato soup reads deep red, and the cream and herbs you added stand out on top.

Yes. Use one style for every soup, or upload a photo of your own counter to My Styles as a reference. A Tuesday borscht and a Saturday shrimp bisque then share the same light, surface and setting, so your menu board, website and delivery listings read as one matching set.

Plans start at $15 for 25 photos, each delivered at 4K with commercial use for your menu, website and delivery apps. A photo takes about a minute, so a full winter soup lineup, or a month of daily specials, fits into one short sitting.

Your soup menu deserves better food photos.
