Official Wolt guidance (accessed 20 Sep 2026): use horizontal 16:9 images, keep the food centered, show the entire dish with no cropped edges, avoid people, text, borders and multiple items, and do not use AI-generated images. Wolt's checklist publishes no pixel minimum, file-size cap or format list. Source: Wolt Merchant Learning Center.

Answer: Wolt asks for horizontal 16:9 menu photos. The 1200x1200px, 5MB and JPG/PNG figures are FoodPhoto working export guidance, not a published Wolt requirement. FoodPhoto.ai improves real dish photos and exports a 16:9 file without changing the food. Plans from $15/mo (about 60 photos), with a $5 pack of 10 photos.

Confirm the final upload screen in your own Wolt Merchant Portal, because requirements can vary by market and account.

How to prepare compliant photos

  1. Export a horizontal 16:9 image and keep the dish centered with margin so nothing is cut at thumbnail size.
  2. Use a real photo of the menu item customers receive; fix lighting, sharpness and background without changing the food.
  3. Review the render against the dish, then upload in the Wolt Listing manager (up to 5 images per item).

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.

What is the Wolt menu image size and hero image size?
