Quick answer

There is no single delivery app photo size. Use a high-resolution, accurate master image of the real dish, keep the food centered with safe margins, then export platform-specific crops. For US restaurants, the highest-priority checks are usually DoorDash 16:9 item photos, Uber Eats 5:4 to 6:4 item photos, Toast layout crops, Grubhub food-only imagery, and Google Business Profile photo quality.

2026 delivery app photo requirements table

Platform	Market priority	Published or practical size guidance	Moderation and crop rules	FoodPhoto.ai sibling page
DoorDash	United States	Item photos: 1400×800 px minimum; 16:9 landscape; JPG/JPEG/PNG; under 2 MB in current merchant/developer guidance.	Show the exact linked dish, centered, bright, focused, and free of text, borders, graphics, watermarks, or misleading extras.	Use /doordash-photo-requirements for the tactical DoorDash upload page.
Uber Eats	United States and global markets	Menu photos: recommended 5:4 to 6:4 aspect ratio. Storefront/catalog imagery commonly references 2880×2304 px JPEG at 5:4.	Represent one available menu item, keep it centered and properly cropped, and use images the restaurant owns or has the right to use.	Use /how-to-add-photos-to-uber-eats for upload steps and /uber-eats-cover-photo-requirements for storefront images.
Grubhub	United States	Public merchant guidance emphasizes food-only imagery; Grubhub developer imagery specs vary by integration asset type.	Food photos are accepted; coupons, weekly specials, restaurant interiors, exteriors, and non-food promotional images are not appropriate menu imagery.	Use /grubhub-photo-requirements for the Grubhub-specific menu photo page.
Toast Online Ordering	United States	Toast Online Ordering Pro supports 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 item-image layouts and recommends at least 1000 px on one side; another Toast FAQ lists 750×450 PNG for menu item images.	Choose the template crop before exporting so the dish is not cut off in the guest ordering flow.	Use /toast-online-ordering-photo-requirements for a Toast-focused checklist.
ezCater	United States catering	Integration documentation lists JPG/PNG item images, horizontal orientation, and minimum 1200×800 px.	Catering images should show the actual tray, box, bundle, or package customers receive, without promotional graphics.	Use /ezcater-catering-menu-photo-requirements for catering-specific prep.
Deliveroo	UK, Ireland, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East	Deliveroo public help emphasizes centered menu item images that clearly show one dish and its ingredients.	Use clean backgrounds, natural light, and crop space so the whole plate remains visible.	Use /delivery-photo-specs/deliveroo/ireland for a country example.
Glovo	Europe, Africa, Latin America	Glovo partner resources list 500×500 px minimum, 4000×4000 px maximum, 10 MB max, and JPEG/JPG/PNG/WEBP/TIFF formats.	Avoid text, watermarks, logos, and promotional elements; keep photos clear, sharp, and well lit.	Use /glovo-vs-wolt and /delivery-photo-specs/glovo/spain for Glovo planning.
Wolt	Europe and selected global markets	Wolt public learning material focuses on adding and updating menu photos for sales impact; local photo specs may vary by market.	Keep item photos clear, accurate, centered, and updated when the dish, portion, or packaging changes.	Use /glovo-vs-wolt and /wolt-food-photography for Wolt-related workflows.
Just Eat	UK and Just Eat Takeaway markets	Partner guidance for menu photos references a 2:1 landscape ratio, no stretching, and no borders.	Show the real food, fill the frame cleanly, and avoid people, overlays, or confusing extra items.	Use /just-eat-food-photography for marketplace positioning.
Google Business Profile	Global local search	Google guidance asks for high-quality photos; menu photos should be clear enough that the full menu fits in one photo where applicable.	Use recent, bright, accurate dish and menu photos that reflect the current restaurant experience.	Use /restaurant-photo-seo-checklist for GBP and image SEO.
Deliverect-connected channels	Multi-platform integrations	Deliverect recommends 1920×1080 px, 16:9 landscape, up to 4920×3264 px and 4 MB.	A 16:9 master export is useful when syndicating to several delivery channels through a middleware.	Use /delivery-photo-specs for channel-specific exceptions.
Rappi	Latin America	Rappi developer material references menu product image formats and integration rules; POS middleware may expose 1920×1080 JPG/PNG requirements.	Keep the product image mapped to the correct menu product and avoid unsupported menu hierarchy assumptions.	Use /rappi-food-photography for regional planning.

One master image, many exports

Master export	Use when	Why it works
1920×1080 px, 16:9	DoorDash-style landscape crops, Deliverect-connected channels, website hero rows, and delivery headers.	Large enough for review and clean enough to downsize.
1600×1200 px, 4:3	Toast rectangular layouts, website menu cards, and systems that crop between square and landscape.	Keeps vertical room around bowls, plates, and packages.
1500×1500 px, 1:1	Square thumbnails, Google Business Profile item photos, social grids, and regional delivery apps that center-crop.	Prevents accidental cutoffs in small mobile tiles.
2880×2304 px, 5:4	Uber Eats cover/catalog-style images and storefront uses where 5:4 is requested.	Matches official Uber Eats catalog guidance for that surface.

Restaurant QA checklist before upload

Truth check: the photo shows the exact dish, portion, included sides, packaging, and ingredients customers receive.
Crop check: the item is centered with enough safe margin for 16:9, 5:4, 4:3, and 1:1 exports.
Moderation check: no text overlays, promo badges, QR codes, watermarks, borders, collage frames, people, or unrelated props.
Quality check: the image is sharp, bright, color-accurate, and readable as a small mobile thumbnail.
Channel check: export a platform-specific file instead of forcing one crop into every marketplace.

FAQ

What size should delivery app food photos be in 2026?

There is no universal size. DoorDash commonly requires 1400×800 px at 16:9, Uber Eats recommends 5:4 to 6:4 item photos, Toast supports 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 layouts, and many integrations use a 16:9 master such as 1920×1080 px.

Can one restaurant photo work for every delivery app?

One master photo can be reused if it is high-resolution, accurate, centered, and crop-safe, but restaurants should export channel-specific versions for each platform ratio and file-size rule.

Are AI-enhanced food photos allowed on delivery apps?

Restaurants should start from a real dish photo and keep the final image accurate to the item, portion, ingredients, and packaging. The risk is not AI enhancement itself; the risk is misrepresentation, overlays, wrong crops, or stock-like images that do not match the menu item.

Why do delivery apps reject menu photos?

Common rejection reasons include low resolution, wrong aspect ratio, dark lighting, blur, text overlays, watermarks, borders, duplicate or stock images, misleading portions, extra ingredients, and photos that do not show the exact item being sold.

How does FoodPhoto.ai help restaurants meet photo requirements?

FoodPhoto.ai turns real phone photos into brighter, cleaner, menu-ready images, then helps operators think through delivery crop, platform size, and truthful dish representation before publishing.
