You've got a photo of your menu — but you can't change a thing
Maybe the designer who made your original menu is long gone. Maybe the only copy you have is a JPG someone texted you, or a snapshot of the menu taped to the window.
Either way, you're stuck: prices went up last week, you've got a new seasonal special, and your only options are to retype the whole thing from scratch or pay someone to "just change a number."
EditCanvas reads your photo, rebuilds it as a real editable menu, and keeps the look you already had — so updating it takes minutes, not days.
You don't need designer access or source files. We digitize everything for you instantly. Read about our full list of features or view our pricing options starting with free tiers.
From photo to editable menu in three steps
Upload your photo
Drop in a JPG, PNG, or screenshot — or take a fresh picture of your printed menu. PDFs work too.
We rebuild it, editable
EditCanvas extracts every item, price, and section and lays them out in a real editor. Your fonts, colors, and structure stay intact.
Edit and publish everywhere
Change prices, swap dishes, tweak the layout — then publish to a QR menu, a print-ready PDF, and digital screens. Update once, and all three stay in sync.
Why restaurants use EditCanvas
No retyping, no redesign
Your photo becomes an editable menu automatically. You're not rebuilding it in Canva or typing items into a spreadsheet — the work that used to take an afternoon takes a few minutes.
One menu, everywhere it needs to be
The same menu powers your QR code, your print-ready PDF, and your in-store screens. Change a price once and it updates across all of them — no more three different versions drifting out of sync.
Keeps your look
EditCanvas preserves the layout, fonts, and feel of your original menu instead of dumping your items into a template. It still looks like your restaurant.
Photo, screenshot, scan, or PDF — bring whatever you've got
Most menu tools assume you have a clean original file. Real restaurants rarely do. EditCanvas works from whatever you actually have: a phone photo, a screenshot, a flatbed scan, or a PDF. If you can see your menu, you can edit it.
One menu powers everything
Import once to generate a clean, responsive layout. Publish it across digital networks and print formats in sync.
Fully isolated layers for shapes, illustrations, and text boxes. Use precise drag anchors and spacing guidelines.
Customers scan table stickers to open a responsive mobile menu instantly.
Export high-resolution, vector-crisp PDFs ready for professional printing.
Stream menu boards to smart TVs and tablets inside your store. Updates sync automatically in real-time.
Bring in your starting point — phone snaps, screenshots, or scans — and watch it map instantly.

Common questions
My only menu is a blurry phone photo. Will that work?
EditCanvas handles photos, screenshots, and scans. Clearer images give cleaner results, but you can fix anything in the editor after import.
Will it look like my menu, or a generic template?
It keeps your original layout, fonts, and colors. You're editing your menu — not starting from a stock design.
Can I edit prices and items after importing?
Yes. Everything is fully editable — items, prices, descriptions, sections, and layout.
What can I do with the menu once it's editable?
Publish it as a QR code menu, download a print-ready PDF, and show it on digital screens — all from the same menu, kept in sync.
Do I need any design skills?
No. If you can edit text, you can update your menu.
How much does it cost?
Start free with no credit card. Paid plans start at $19/mo for unlimited imports.
