About DishCard
DishCard is a free, browser-based tool that turns any dish into a beautiful recipe image — no account, no uploads, no design skills needed.
We built DishCard for a simple reason: food creators spend too much time wrestling with design tools to publish a single recipe. A food blogger needs a consistent, attractive card for every post. A restaurant wants menu cards that look as good as the food. A home cook just wants to share grandma's recipe without it looking like a wall of text.
DishCard solves this with a smart design engine that runs entirely in your browser. Type a dish name and the engine picks a matching color palette, layout, typography and food illustration for you. Upload your own photo and it becomes a professional cover. Then download a crisp HD PNG — no watermark, no signup, unlimited.
What we stand for
Everything runs locally. Your dish name, photo and recipe never leave your device — there is nothing for us to sell or leak.
A single page, no app install, no account. It loads quickly and works on phones, tablets and desktops.
All core features are free and unlimited. A future Pro tier may add power tools, but nothing you use today will be locked away.
The design engine is a deterministic system built into the page — no external API calls, no queues, no cost per generation.
How the smart design engine works
When you type a dish name, the engine analyzes its keywords (in English or Chinese) and matches it to a cuisine category — soup, pasta, dessert, grill, breakfast and more. Each category carries a curated palette, a matching food illustration and label.
The layout engine then arranges title, details, ingredients and steps across five templates and four aspect ratios, with automatic text fitting so nothing ever overflows. Everything is rendered to a high-resolution canvas and exported as PNG.
Because it is all local, the tool works offline once loaded, never throttles you, and never sees your content.

DishCard ("we", "us") provides a free recipe card and food image generator. This policy explains what information our website collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Our core principle is simple: the tool runs entirely in your browser, so your recipes, photos and dish names never leave your device.
2. Information we collect
We do not require an account and we do not collect any personal information from you to use the generator. Content you enter (dish names, ingredients, steps, photos) is processed locally in your browser and is not transmitted to us. We do not sell, trade or rent personal information to anyone.
3. Cookies and local storage
We store your language preference in your browser's local storage so the site can remember it on your next visit.
