Now it can — and no, you don’t need a camera.

With ChatGPT 4o and tools like DALL·E, Runway, and Kling, you can create ridiculously realistic food photos and animations in seconds. We’re talking melting cheese, floating tacos, and glossy bacon porn that makes people stop scrolling mid-bite.

Let’s get into it 👇

🎥 Want to Animate It? Use These Video Prompts

You can use Kling or Runway ML to animate these food pics into stunning short-form ads.

🥪 Breakfast Sandwich Prompt

A fully assembled breakfast sandwich — with crispy bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, fresh lettuce, and golden toasted bread — is already falling from mid-air at the beginning of the shot, captured in dramatic slow motion. The sandwich stays intact as it drops straight down onto a dark black surface, creating a soft but juicy impact. The yolk slightly bursts and begins to ooze, bacon jiggles from the motion, lettuce gently bounces, and tiny crumbs scatter. Glossy fat droplets shimmer on the bacon and bread, and subtle steam rises from the sandwich. The camera is fixed, no movement. The lighting is sharp and cinematic, emphasizing rich textures and contrast. 5 seconds. No sound. Realistic high-end food commercial style.

🌮 Taco Rotation Prompt

A row of tacos filled with beef, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cheese, and cilantro floats in mid-air against a black background. The tacos are the central focus and slowly rotate to the right in unison. Individual ingredients like onions, cilantro, and spice particles float and rotate slowly around the tacos, as if suspended in zero gravity. Visible fire effects glow softly around the tacos — with red-orange embers and heat waves rising from them, giving a clear sense of spiciness and heat. Light steam curls upward. The camera does not move at all — no zoom, no pan. Background stays static. Duration: 5 seconds. No sound. Ultra-realistic food commercial style, high contrast and vivid color.

🍕 Pizza Cheese Pull Prompt

Two slices of hot, cheesy pizza are slowly separating from each other in extreme close-up against a black background. One slice moves slowly upward with a slight rotation, while the other gently descends. Thick, stretchy, golden melted cheese pulls between them in long, glossy strings. The lighting is cinematic and high contrast, emphasizing the textures of bubbling cheese, crispy crust, and dripping gooeyness. The entire scene is rich, glossy, hyper-realistic, and visually mouthwatering, styled like a high-end food commercial. No camera movement. 10 seconds duration. No sound.
