Tips for Print Menu food photos
- ✓ Clean & Bright works best for print — dark photos don't reproduce well on paper
- ✓ Request 4K resolution (Business plan) for larger print applications
- ✓ Square or landscape crops fit most menu layouts
- ✓ Avoid styles with very dark backgrounds — they use excessive ink
- ✓ Test print a sample before committing to your full menu
Why food photos matter on Print Menu
Menus with photos sell 30% more of the pictured items. But only if the photos look professional. A pixelated or poorly-lit photo on a printed menu does more damage than no photo at all.
