About PanSnap
PanSnap uses AI to transform a photo of a fridge or pantry shelf—or a typed list of ingredients—into a full dinner menu with recipes, scaled quantities, and a consolidated shopping list. The output is delivered as a paginated recipe book with illustrated dishes, step-by-step instructions, and optional per-step photos in higher tiers. Users can set preferences such as cuisine type, spice level, dietary needs, and number of diners to tailor the menu. The tool consolidates ingredients across all dishes, separates seasonings from fresh items, and exports the result as PNG pages for sharing or printing. It is designed for quick meal planning, aiming to reduce food waste by prioritizing what is already on hand. The service operates without requiring an app install and supports both photo and text input methods.
