Phone to Studio

Upload a photo instead of a brief

A freelance gig starts with a written brief, a shot list and a delivery date. In FoodShot you photograph the dish on your phone, pick from 200+ styles and get a studio-quality food photo in about 2 minutes — then try another look whenever you like, as often as your credits allow.

Builder Mode

Art-direct the shot without a studio

Choose the surface, backdrop and props yourself — marble counter, rustic wood, bright linen — then drop in your dish. Builder Mode assembles one cohesive scene, the same art direction you'd write into a photographer's brief, done in a few taps for every item on your menu.

Try Builder Mode→

My Styles

Match the look of your last shoot

Upload a reference — a favorite shot from a past photographer session or a photo of your own counter — and every new dish inherits its lighting, surface and mood. Book a photographer for the campaign, keep the everyday menu in FoodShot, and both stay consistent.

Match your brand→

FAQ

Hiring a Food Photographer FAQ

Common questions about food photography for small food businesses.

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 a style, and FoodShot AI turns it into a professional food photo that you can download and use on your menu, delivery apps, website and social media.

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 2 minutes. 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! For bulk processing needs, please email us at hello@foodshot.ai for our Enterprise plan options.

Yes, subscriptions renew month-to-month. 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.

For menu, delivery-app and social photos, FoodShot covers it: photograph each dish on your phone and get a studio-quality version in about 2 minutes. A photographer is the better hire when the shoot needs people, your dining room or a styled campaign — and the two work well together.

A gig is a project with a brief, set revision rounds and a delivery date; FoodShot is a tool you use yourself. Upload the dish, restyle it as often as your credits allow and download the finished photo the same day. Plans start at 25 photos for $15.

On paid plans you get a commercial license, so every photo can go on your menu, website, delivery apps, social posts and ads. With a freelancer, usage rights are part of the gig terms, so confirm them in writing before you place the order.

Try another style or run the same one again — there are no revision rounds to negotiate, only your credits. A good routine: test three or four styles on one dish, pick the look that fits your brand, then apply it to the whole menu for a consistent set.

No — your food stays in your kitchen. Photograph each dish right when it looks its best and upload the photo. That matters most for layer cakes, ice cream and hot dishes, which rarely survive a courier trip to a freelancer's studio looking fresh.

When the shoot needs people, your venue or a planned campaign — a chef portrait, an opening-week story, a billboard. A photographer directs that on location. A practical split: book one for the campaign and keep the everyday menu in FoodShot, matched to that shoot with My Styles.

Your menu deserves better food photos.
