Why bother

On delivery apps, the thumbnail IS the menu.

Customers order with their eyes.

Dishes with strong photos consistently outsell identical dishes with dark, blurry ones on every delivery platform. Your food deserves the click.

A food photographer charges per dish.

A pro shoot for a 30-item menu runs into the thousands, and the menu changes next season. Here it's about a dollar a photo, whenever a new dish lands.

Honest by design.

The output keeps your real ingredients, portion size and plating — we never add fake garnish or inflate the serving. Better light and colour, zero disappointed customers.

FAQ

Food photo questions, sorted.

No — and this is the core promise. Every generation is instructed to keep your actual ingredients, portion size, plating and garnish exactly as photographed, and never to add, remove or enlarge any food element. What changes: lighting, colour balance, the surface it sits on, and the camera angle.

Delivery platforms ban misleading photos — showing food the customer won't receive. Because Phoxel preserves the real dish and only improves presentation, the output is the same dish a photographer would have captured with proper equipment. Still, check your platform's current photo guidelines, as rules vary by region.

2–3 photos of one plated dish: one from above, one from the side or 45°. Natural daylight near a window beats kitchen fluorescents. One dish per project — for a whole menu, create a project per dish.

Yes — cakes, pastries and desserts work well, and home bakers are some of our happiest users. Texture close-ups are particularly strong for layered bakes.

Yes — it's your dish. Menus, delivery listings, Instagram, table displays, flyers.

No. Buy a pack and use it whenever — credits sit in your account until you spend them, across any niche.
