For the owner who runs the café
from their own phone

You run a small restaurant or café in the Arab world. The shop's Instagram and Facebook are yours to look after, and the pictures are the ones you take yourself, of your dishes and your drinks.

There is no photographer in the budget. Promise Studio turns one of those phone photos into a polished Reel, in Arabic or English.

Paste a link, or upload a photo

If you sell through an online store, paste a product link. Most restaurants and cafés don't, so you upload a photo from your phone instead. Promise Studio takes it from there and hands back a polished Reel in Arabic or English, in minutes.

Step one

Send the photo or the link

Pick the picture of the dish or drink you want people to see, or paste the link to its page in your online store. That is all Promise Studio asks of you.

Step two

See the first 3 seconds free

Before you pay anything, you watch the first 3 seconds of your Reel. If you like where it is going, you move on to the last step.

Price

$15 for each Reel, paid once

A one-time payment through hosted checkout. No subscription at launch. You watch the first 3 seconds free before you decide.

Start with the photo already on your phone

Today's dish or this morning's drink is enough. Have a look at what a Reel made from one photo looks like.
