Add text to a food photo

Your dish name, price or offer designed into the empty space of your photo. The food stays exactly as photographed.

You have a great photo of the dish and you need its name on it, maybe the price too, for a post, a Google update or a sign. Most tools either stamp the text over the food or regenerate the whole picture and change the dish while they're at it.

Servestack Studio finds the real empty space in your photo and designs your words there, with designer layouts. The words come from your menu, the food stays exactly as photographed, and every word is checked before you get the image.

Real examples

Before and after

The restaurants' own photos, then the same photos with the dish name designed in. The food is unchanged.

Tips for text on food photos

  • Shoot with a little space around the plate, so there's room for words.
  • Keep it to the dish name and one more thing: a price or an offer.
  • Use the same style across posts so your feed looks consistent.
