Uber Eats Photo Requirements: Sizes, Crops, and Quick QA

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.
