How we made this comparison
The first image uses a standard GPT prompt. The second uses the same request with Umami's unique food-photography framework. Each pair uses matching output quality. The examples are independently generated, with no manual retouching. Results vary.
What makes Umami's food visuals more realistic?
Umami's framework includes dedicated settings for believable food textures, delicate herbs, natural colors and balanced lighting. These guide each image toward a photographic look and help reduce artificial shine, plastic-looking ingredients and overly processed details.
How does Umami keep the focus on my dish?
The framework guides clear food detail, consistent perspective and natural placement. When you use reference photos, it prioritizes the dish's recognizable ingredients and your requested changes. With branding enabled, it also guides legible logos and faithful brand colors on suitable non-food objects. Always review the result before publishing.
What is Umami AI?
Umami AI helps restaurant teams create and edit food images, compose dishes into real scenes, and turn finished visuals into short promotional videos.
Who is Umami AI for?
Umami AI is made for restaurants, cafes, ghost kitchens, delivery brands, food marketers, restaurant groups, and agencies that need consistent food visuals without organising a new shoot.
Can I start with a phone photo?
Yes. You can begin with an everyday photo of your dish, a restaurant scene, or both. Umami is designed to make real restaurant inputs more presentation-ready.
What is the difference between Create / Edit, Compose and Animate?
Create / Edit generates a new food visual from a prompt or improves an existing image. Compose places your real dish into a selected restaurant scene. Animate turns a finished image into a short promotional video.
Can I edit only one part of an image?
Yes. With Edit Selected Area, you mark the area you want to change, describe the edit in your prompt, and keep the rest of the image intact.
How do I use Edit Selected Area?
In Image, upload one Dish Photo or one Background Photo, turn on Edit Selected Area, mark the area, and describe the change. This option is unavailable with both photos uploaded. Pro or Scale is required.
How do branded images work?
In Brand Settings, upload a PNG logo with a transparent background and choose a brand color. Any background in the logo file may appear in generated images. Branding applies to images only, not videos, and can be placed on suitable non-food objects while keeping the food recognisable.
Can I use my own restaurant interior or a background preset?
Yes. In Image, upload a Background Photo or choose one from Library > Backgrounds. Add a Dish Photo to combine them, or use only the background with Edit Selected Area to insert an object into a chosen area.
How do Delivery Platforms affect output settings?
Add delivery platforms in Account Settings and choose a Primary Platform. In Output Settings, Umami highlights the recommended ratio for that platform, while you can still select another format when needed.
Can I choose an image ratio and resolution?
Yes. Output Settings lets you choose the ratio and available resolution that best fit your menu, delivery listing, social post, or campaign.
Can I save a setup and reuse it later?
Yes. Save a Snapshot to Library and reopen it in Studio later. Its card shows the source photos, prompt, mode, and output settings that will be restored. For video, it shows the saved Dish Photo and optional Last Frame Image. Swipe within the card to view its saved photos.
Can I turn a generated image into a video?
Yes. Choose Create video from this image in Studio or Recent Generations. The exact image variant currently selected in the carousel is loaded into Video Studio. Dish Photo and a movement prompt are required; Last Frame Image is optional.
How long are my generations stored?
Generated images and saved Library work are automatically deleted 10 days after creation. Download important files before they expire.
Which plans include Edit Selected Area and Brand Settings?
Edit Selected Area and Brand Settings are available on Pro and Scale. They are not included in Free Trial or Lite.
How do credits and plans work?
Credits and available generation options depend on your plan and selected workflow. Visit Plans to see the current credits, output capabilities, and access for each plan.
Can I use Umami images commercially?
Yes. Umami is built for restaurant commercial use, including menus, delivery listings, websites, social media, and advertising.
