Show the Dish, Texture, and Ingredients Clearly
Good framing reduces distractions and gives the generator more useful evidence. It still cannot reveal hidden ingredients or guarantee accuracy.
Choose one main plate
Place one dish at the center and crop out menus, packaging, hands, and unrelated food. Several equally prominent plates can lead to a mixed recipe.
Use natural-looking light
Soft daylight reveals texture and color without the hard reflections created by direct flash. Avoid heavy filters because they can make browned food look raw or change ingredient colors.
Select an informative angle
Overhead views show separated ingredients in bowls and salads. A 45-degree angle reveals height and texture. A side view helps with layered food, though a second angle may be more useful when the top is important.
Keep the main area sharp
Tap the dish on your phone screen before taking the picture and hold the camera steady. Strong portrait blur can remove the small details that distinguish grains, herbs, crusts, and sauces.
Do not use the tool for safety decisions
A photograph cannot establish freshness, safe internal temperature, or allergen status. Use reliable food-safety guidance, labels, and information from the person who prepared the food.
Check the file
Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP within the limit shown on the generator. If a file is too large, export a smaller copy while keeping the food sharp.
