Snapfood
SnapFood is a free, browser-based AI tool that analyzes photos of food to estimate calorie and macronutrient content. Users can either snap a live photo with their mobile camera or upload an image from their gallery. The AI identifies the type of dish, estimates portion size, and calculates calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fiber. Results are displayed with a visual summary, including macronutrient bars and personalized health tips. No signup or account is required, and the service supports English, Chinese, Spanish, French, and German. SnapFood also provides a 'fridge-to-recipe' feature (currently in development) that will let users photograph ingredients and receive dinner menus, shopping lists, and recipe books. The tool is intended as a practical kitchen assistant for anyone seeking to understand their meals better. While the current core scanning features are entirely free, the project is evolving and may introduce premium options in the future.
