Rejection fixes
Wrong crop: export a 16:9 landscape image instead of a square or vertical frame.
File too large: compress the JPG under 2MB before upload.
Dark or blurry photo: enhance exposure, white balance, and sharpness before exporting.
Distracting background: clean the table or use FoodPhoto.ai background cleanup.
Misleading image: use the actual dish, portion, ingredients, and plating customers receive.
FAQ
What size should DoorDash menu photos be?
DoorDash item photos should be 16:9 landscape, at least 1400x800px, under 2MB, and saved as JPG or PNG.
Can I upload square photos to DoorDash?
DoorDash lists landscape 16:9 for item photos. A square crop can cut off food or fail review, so export a dedicated 16:9 version.
