AI Menu Scanner: Upload a Menu Photo, Get Dish Images in Seconds
Menu AI turns a menu photo into structured dishes and realistic dish images, so your menu is easier to browse, share, and sell.
How the menu scanner works
Upload a menu photo (or a PDF) and we extract dishes, prices, and descriptions with menu-focused OCR.
Then we normalize dish names and generate consistent dish photos that match the style of your menu.
Finally, you can review the output and export it for websites, delivery platforms, or internal tools.
- Upload a menu photo
- We extract dishes and structure the data
- We generate dish images
- You export and share
What you get from every scan
You get clean dish names and descriptions, and you also get images that make the menu easier to understand at a glance.
For international menus, you can translate dishes and keep the same structure across languages.
- Dish list (structured)
- Optional nutrition and allergen hints
- Dish images for each item
- Shareable output links
Supported menu formats
Menu AI works with common menu formats: photos, screenshots, and PDFs. A clear photo is usually enough.
If your menu has multiple columns, stylized fonts, or multiple languages, the scanner still extracts structured results and you can quickly correct edge cases.
- JPG / PNG
- Scanned PDFs
- Screenshots
- Multi-page menus
