EditCanvas is a web-based tool that converts menu PDFs and images into fully editable designs, then publishes them to QR codes, print-ready PDFs, and digital screens — all synced from a single update.
What is EditCanvas?
EditCanvas accepts menu PDFs or image uploads and automatically extracts items, descriptions, prices, and categories into an editable format. The tool then lets you customize the layout with a drag-and-drop editor and publish the result as QR codes, hosted web menus, digital signage, or print-ready PDFs. It runs entirely in a browser — no software to install.
