How it works

01

Shoot from the top or 45 degrees

Top-down works for flat dishes (pizza, salad bowls). 45 degrees works for plated food with height (burgers, layer cakes). Both cut cleanly.

02

Drop it above

The tool returns a transparent PNG in about twenty seconds.

03

Composite over a recipe background

Solid colours read as designed. Gradients in warm tones work for food. Avoid patterns that fight the food colours.

Things that help

—Sauces, broths, and translucent dishes are hard for any tool. Consider compositing over the background the dish was photographed against.
—Food photography benefits from a subtle shadow. Add one in the editor if it looks too flat.
—For delivery apps (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo), most accept any background. Clean plates on white read as professional.
—Do not over-process. Some dishes look better with their natural table setting. Cutout is for menus and recipe cards, not for every shot.

Common questions

Will the cutout preserve sauce details?

Sauces at the edge of the dish are challenging. The tool does well on clean plating; sloppy plating is a manual job.

Can I use this for delivery app menus?

Yes. Uber Eats and DoorDash accept transparent PNGs and white backgrounds. Both work.

What resolution for print menus?

300 DPI at the final print size. A 4-inch-wide dish photo needs 1200 pixels wide.
