How do I generate a food photo?

Open any menu item in your dashboard, tap 'Generate Image', and AI creates a professional food photo based on the dish name and description. Pick the one you like.

Can I use my own photos instead?

Absolutely. Upload your own photos from your phone or computer. AI generation is optional — use it when you don't have a photo ready.

How many images can I generate?

Image generation limits depend on your plan. Growth includes a monthly allowance, and Pro offers a higher limit. You can always upload your own photos without limits.

Are generated images unique to my restaurant?

Yes. Each image is generated uniquely for your specific dish. No stock photos — every image is created fresh based on your menu item.

What image formats are supported for upload?

Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP images up to 10MB. All uploaded images are automatically compressed and converted to WebP for optimal loading speed on any device.

Can I generate images for all items at once?

Images are generated per item to ensure the best quality for each dish. Open any item, click generate, and the photo is ready in seconds.

Do AI-generated images look realistic?

Yes. The AI produces high-quality, realistic food photography. Results are best when the dish name and description are detailed — for example, 'Grilled salmon fillet with lemon butter sauce and asparagus' produces a more accurate image than just 'salmon'.
