A practical Uber Eats photo guide: sizes, crop rules, and a quick QA checklist so your menu looks sharp on mobile.
TL;DR
Use a clean, bright photo that reads well as a small thumbnail. Leave “safe space” so crops don’t cut off the hero ingredient. Export the right sizes so you don’t get blurry uploads.
Recommended specs (and how to stay current)
Platforms change. The safest approach: Use the latest spec sheet tool: /tools/image-requirements. Export at a higher resolution, then upload optimized files (sharp + fast).
Crop rules that prevent ugly thumbnails
Center the hero ingredient. Keep important details away from edges. Avoid tiny garnish-only details; thumbnails won’t show them.

Quick QA checklist before uploading
Sharp focus (zoom in once to confirm). Accurate color (no yellow kitchen light). Clean background (no clutter, no hands). No text or watermarks. Looks good at thumbnail size (the real test).
The fastest workflow
Shoot in consistent light → enhance → export Uber Eats + square crops → upload.
