Foodlit - Food Photo Editor
Reads the light, picks presets
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
We don't hand you 30 filters and wish you luck. Foodlit reads the light in your photo first, then shows the three that fit — and why. All on your phone.
Foodlit tells you why your food photo feels off - then fixes it.
Most filter apps lay out thirty thumbnails and leave you to guess.
Foodlit reads the photo first. It measures exposure, color temperature
and the direction the light came from, then shows you the three filters
that actually fit - each with a reason.
"Light is coming from behind the plate, so the front is dark.
Try Window Brunch - it lifts the shadows."
WHAT IT READS IN YOUR PHOTO
- Exposure - not just dark or bright, but how much has clipped and where
- Color temperature - it tells tungsten yellow from fluorescent green
- Light direction - backlit, side-lit, harsh sun, or soft and diffuse
- Blur and the dominant color family of the food
Backlighting is the hard one. "Dark in the middle, bright around the
edges" is a signal that dark food on a white plate produces even more
strongly than real backlighting does. Foodlit looks at the structure of
the frame, not just the brightness spread, to tell the two apart.
FILTERS THAT COME WITH A REASON
- 24 filters scored against your photo; only the top three are shown
- Each one tells you what it does to this photo, in numbers
("Brighten +51, lift shadows +38, warm +22")
- Why it helps, and when you should skip it
HELP BEFORE YOU SHOOT
- Live lighting coach - know what the light is doing before you tap
- Preview any filter on the live camera
- Level and shooting-angle guide - front on, 45 degrees, or straight down
Angle is half the battle in food photography
- Your original shot is saved automatically. Edits are a matter of taste,
but you only get one chance at the shot.
SIMPLE WHEN YOU WANT IT, DETAILED WHEN YOU DON'T
- Simple - one slider for filter strength
For when you like it but it's a little much
- Detailed - exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature and six more
- Press and hold to compare against the original
