AI tools for cooking creators
Food channels sell the dish and the cook. The thumbnail needs the plate and a face; the Pinterest pin needs a tall, bright image with a readable title; the reel cover needs the recipe name in the safe band; and the about page needs a photo of you in a kitchen that is not your kitchen at 11pm.
The tools here are preset for the niche: Tutorial style thumbnails with a numbered step badge, Kitchen brand photos, 2:3 pins, carousels for ingredient lists and steps, and Add Object for the garnish you forgot to shoot.
What this fixes
- Thumbnails where the plate is tiny and the title covers the food
- Pins that are landscape stills and vanish in the Pinterest feed
- A brand photo in a bright kitchen without renting one
- Recipe step carousels that take an evening per post

Can it make a pin from my recipe photo?
Use Reframe on your photo at 2:3, then Text Behind Object or Edit With Words for the title. For a rendered pin from scratch, Social Media Post Generator set to Pinterest.
Will the thumbnail keep my actual dish?
Attach a photo and the thumbnail features the same person; for the dish itself, build the thumbnail from a topic-led design and add your photo of the plate with Add Object.
