FAQ

Recipe Photography FAQ

Common questions about food photography for food brands and recipe bloggers.

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 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, 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.

Yes. Photograph the ingredient lineup, each process step and the finished dish on your phone, then run every shot through the same style. FoodShot keeps the surface, light and angle consistent, so the ingredients, the steps and the hero read as one set on your recipe page, pack or pin.

Shoot each step where it happens, in daylight from a nearby window, with the whole bowl, pan or tray in the frame. Hold the phone at roughly the same height for every step and wipe drips from the rims. A sharp, clean snapshot gives FoodShot the most detail to work with.

Yes. FoodShot restyles the surface, lighting and backdrop around your food and keeps the dish itself — the same pasta shape, the same crumb, the same toppings. Readers who cook your recipe see what they will actually make, and the photo stays true to your product.

Yes. Paid plans include a commercial license, so the photos can run as on-pack serving suggestions, on your recipe hub, on retailer listings and in paid social. Every image is delivered at 2K, and the studio's 2× upscale gives you extra resolution for larger print layouts.

Portrait 2:3 is the classic Pinterest pin, landscape suits the top of a blog post and square fits Instagram and recipe cards. FoodShot outputs 2K photos in all three formats, so each recipe shot can be delivered in the shape every channel needs.

Plans start at $15 a month for 25 photos, each delivered at 2K with a commercial license. A photo takes about a minute, so a full recipe set — ingredients, four steps and the finished dish — is ready in well under half an hour, and 25 photos cover about four complete sets.

Your recipes deserve better food photos.
