Will my food look fake after editing?

No. The editor corrects color and light so the dish looks fresh, and keeps steam and shine natural. We don't fake what is on the plate.

Can you clean up the plate and table?

Yes. Crumbs, smudges and drips on the plate or table are removed, and the background cleaned up.

Can you prepare photos for a menu or delivery app?

Yes. We can cut the dish out for a menu or a delivery app and put it on the background you need. Check the platform's image rules and tell us in the order notes, such as a pure white background or a square crop.

Can you change what is on the plate?

We don't add or enlarge food. The photo should show what the customer receives. Color, light and cleanup are fair game.

Can you keep a whole menu looking consistent?

Yes. Send the menu together and the editor matches light, color and backgrounds across the dishes, so photos shot at different times look like one set. Larger sets take longer, with an estimate at checkout.

Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?

By a real person. A professional editor reads your request, plans the steps your photo needs and chooses the right tool for each one, and a person checks the result before delivery. AI tools help with some steps, such as reducing blur or enlarging a low-resolution photo, but the work is mainly done by hand.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.

How long does it take?

Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.

Are my photos kept private?

Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
