How Wolt's merchant guidance says to upload and shoot

Beyond the image dimensions, Wolt's own merchant learning centre is specific about quality. You add or edit photos in the Listing Manager (formerly the Menu editor) inside the Merchant Portal, and you can attach up to five images per menu item. Wolt's guidance asks for clear, high-quality photos in sharp focus with good lighting, the food centered with the whole dish visible, and it explicitly says not to use cropped or blurry images, AI-generated images, photos with people, or multiple items in one frame.

Wolt menu-photo checklist

Wolt's merchant centre also publishes guidance favouring horizontal (16:9) framing for menu photos in some markets, so shooting with room around a centered dish lets you crop confidently whether your market's listing uses a square or landscape frame.
