Google Business Profile photo requirements
Google Business Profile photos help customers choose a restaurant on Search and Maps. The rules are less delivery-crop-specific than DoorDash or Uber Eats, but Google still publishes clear file, resolution, quality, and reality standards.

Rejection fixes
Low quality: replace blurry, dark, or low-contrast food photos.
Over-editing: avoid heavy filters or changes that stop the image from representing reality.
Wrong file: use JPG or PNG and keep the image between 10KB and 5MB.
Outdated menu proof: upload new dish and menu photos when the menu changes.
Weak local trust: include exterior, interior, team, dish, and menu photos so customers can recognize the business.
