Step-by-step cooking tutorial images are among the most saved and shared content on social media and food blogs. They provide actionable value that makes readers more likely to actually cook the recipe — and to return to your blog for more. At imgresizr.com, you can create numbered cooking tutorial step images for YouTube, blogs, and social media, for free.

How to Create Tutorial Step Images at imgresizr.com
Photograph each step of the recipe process — ingredient prep, key techniques, and the finished dish. Upload the first step image to imgresizr.com. Use the Enhance tool to ensure consistent brightness and saturation across all step images — editing all steps with the same settings creates visual coherence. Use the Caption tool to add a step number circle (bold, contrasting colour) in the top corner of each image, and a brief step description at the bottom. For the Pinterest version, use the Collage tool to arrange 4–6 key steps in a vertical grid, then add the recipe title at the top and your blog URL at the bottom. For Instagram carousels, export each step at 1080×1080px individually and upload as a multi-image carousel post.
Cooking Tutorial Content Tips
- Focus on the most technique-dependent steps — not every step needs a photo, but every critical technique does
- Show what "correctly done" looks like at key stages — this prevents failure at critical moments
- Include a "common mistake" step if there is one — this is high-value content that prevents cooking failures
- The finished dish should always be the final image — it is the motivation for the entire tutorial
