Pick lighting, backdrop, surface, and remove elements from the image and generate.

Get professional crops sized for delivery apps and social — fast, without a photoshoot. Iterate in your dish library, then download what you need.
Common questions
Do I need to write prompts?▾
No. You upload a real dish photo and pick controlled changes such as lighting, background, and surface. GridMenu builds the generation internally.
How do credits work?▾
New accounts start with 10 free credits. 1 credit is 1 standard AI photo generation. Pro generations use 2 credits. You can buy more on the pricing page. Paid credits are valid for 12 months from purchase.
What happens to my original photo?▾
Your source photo stays in your Studio library. Generated versions are saved as variants you can download, reuse, or delete.
