Side-by-side comparison (2026)
Minimum values are what the platform enforces. Recommended values are what we ship from FoodPhoto.ai to future-proof higher-DPI screens and re-crops.

The universal export setting
If you only want one export that works everywhere — from DoorDash in the US to iFood in Brazil to Swiggy in India — use this:
Typical resulting file size is 600 KB to 1.5 MB — well under every platform limit. FoodPhoto.ai exports in this format by default so you never have to think about per-platform resizing.

Frequently asked questions
What size should food delivery photos be?
Most delivery apps require a minimum of 1000 x 1000 pixels in a square (1:1) aspect ratio. Uber Eats and Deliveroo go higher at 1200 x 1200 px minimum, while Grubhub and Just Eat accept 800 x 800 px. For consistency across every platform, export at 1600 x 1600 px square in JPEG (sRGB, under 5 MB).
Do delivery apps accept 4:3 photos?
A few platforms accept 4:3 (Uber Eats, Just Eat, Zomato), but 1:1 (square) is the safe default because DoorDash, Grubhub, Deliveroo, Rappi, iFood, Glovo, Swiggy, Wolt and foodpanda require it. Shooting square also keeps thumbnails consistent in the in-app feed.
What is the max file size for food delivery photos?
Most apps cap uploads at 5 MB per image. Uber Eats allows up to 10 MB. Compressing at 85 percent JPEG quality typically produces a sub-2 MB file at 1600 x 1600 px, well under every platform limit.
What DPI do food delivery apps require?
DPI is irrelevant for screen display, but most platforms reference 72 DPI in their guidelines. What matters is the raw pixel dimensions (minimum 1000 x 1000 px) and the color space (sRGB).
What file formats do delivery apps accept?
JPEG and PNG are universally accepted. JPEG is preferred for food photography because it compresses better and produces smaller files at equivalent visual quality. Avoid HEIC, WebP and AVIF unless the platform specifically supports them.
Why are my delivery app photos being rejected?
Common rejection reasons: resolution below the minimum, non-square aspect ratio, file size over the limit, blurry or low-light images, watermarks, prices overlaid on the photo, images that do not match the item description, or stock photos instead of actual dish images.
Can one photo work for every delivery platform?
Yes — if you export at 1600 x 1600 px, 1:1 aspect ratio, JPEG, sRGB, under 5 MB. That single export meets or exceeds the spec on DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Deliveroo, Rappi, iFood, Glovo, Swiggy, Zomato, Wolt and foodpanda.
Do food delivery apps require a white background?
No platform strictly requires white backgrounds, but clean, minimal backgrounds (white, dark wood, slate, marble) convert best. DoorDash, Uber Eats and Deliveroo explicitly recommend clean, non-distracting backgrounds in their merchant guidelines.
