Questions & answers
How does the free trial work?
You get 1 free credit when you sign up, so you can run a real edit before paying. AI processing costs 1 credit at 1K, 6 credits at 2K or 10 credits at 4K. No credit card required for the trial.
How is it different from traditional software?
Our AI-powered tools work in the cloud, requiring no downloads or installations. Results are faster and more accurate than traditional photo editing software.
What happens to the photos I upload?
They are sent to our AI providers for processing and returned to your browser. We do not save your images to your account: the only thing kept is the text of the edit and its settings, so you can see what you ran. Nothing is shared or resold.
How does billing work?
Credits, not seats. One edit costs 1 credit at 1K, 6 credits at 2K or 10 credits at 4K. A credit pack is a one-off purchase and its credits sit in your balance until you use them. Pro is $30 a month and tops your balance back up to 250 credits at each renewal, keeping anything above that which you bought separately. If a Pro subscription ends, the remaining balance is cleared with it, so spend it before you cancel.
Do you recommend pay as you go or prepaid credits?
If you edit a listing or a shoot now and then, a credit pack is simpler and cheaper: $7 for 30, $15 for 75, $30 for 200, $60 for 500. If you are editing every week, Pro at $30 a month gives 250 credits per cycle, which is the better rate at that volume.
The Science of Appetizing Food Photography
Food delivery platforms show thumbnail photos next to menu items. Poorly photographed food reduces order rates even when the actual food quality is excellent.
Food photo optimization removes distracting backgrounds, adjusts lighting to make food look fresh and appetizing, and ensures proper color balance so items appear as they do in person. This matters because customers order based on visual appeal before tasting anything.
The delivery platform dynamics: Customers scroll through dozens of restaurants and hundreds of menu items. Photos that look unappetizing get skipped regardless of ratings or reviews. Your food needs to look as good as it tastes to earn the click that leads to an order.
Sophia runs a Thai restaurant that recently joined delivery platforms. Her initial photos were taken with phone cameras under kitchen fluorescent lighting, making everything look washed out and unappealing. After optimizing photos with proper lighting and background cleanup, her online order volume increased 56% over eight weeks with the same menu, pricing, and reviews.
When better photos don't help: If your actual food doesn't match the photos, customer satisfaction drops and reviews suffer. Platform algorithms penalize restaurants with high return rates or complaints. Use photo optimization to accurately represent your food at its best, not to create deceptive expectations.
Start with your highest-margin items—these drive profitability more than high-volume low-margin dishes—and ensure they photograph as appealingly as they taste.
