Texture sells food. Bring back the crisp crust, glossy sauce and fresh herbs that phone cameras smear in dim restaurants.
Delivery apps show dishes as small thumbnails, so texture and contrast decide whether people tap. Restaurant lighting is usually warm and dim, which makes phone photos soft and noisy.
Enhancing restores fine texture. If you want a cleaner plate setting, swap the table or background in the AI Photo Editor — keep the food itself honest.
Upload the dish photo: Shoot from 45° or overhead, close enough that the dish fills most of the frame.
Enhance: Real-ESRGAN sharpens faithfully; Nano Banana adds richer detail when the source is very soft.
Optional: restyle the setting: Use the AI Photo Editor for a clean marble or wooden table, keeping the food unchanged.
Texture back: Crust, grill marks and garnish detail read at thumbnail size.
Cleaner low light: Noise from dim dining rooms is reduced.
Menu ready: Full-resolution output suits printed menus as well as apps.
What size do delivery apps need? Requirements vary; most ask for landscape images around 1200–1600px wide. Upscale if your source is smaller.
Can AI make food look better than it is? It can, which is why you should only enhance sharpness and setting, not portion size or ingredients.
Does it change colours? Real-ESRGAN keeps colours faithful. Adjust warmth separately if the restaurant light is very orange.
