Zomato Photo Size: Image, Menu & Upload Specs
Verified Zomato guidance (accessed 20 Sep 2026): Zomato's public photo policy is qualitative — clear, in-focus photos of food or ambiance, with no text, watermarks, promotional content, people, half-eaten food or packaging. Source: Zomato Guidelines and Policies.
Answer: Zomato publishes no 1000x1000px, ratio or 5MB rule on its public photo policy. Those numbers are FoodPhoto working export guidance, and the final requirement is whatever your Zomato partner dashboard accepts. FoodPhoto.ai improves real dish photos without changing the food. Plans from $15/mo (about 60 photos), with a $5 pack of 10 photos.
Image requirements
| Minimum resolution | 1000x1000px (FoodPhoto working guidance — not published by Zomato) |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 (square) or 4:3 (FoodPhoto working guidance) |
| Max file size | 5MB (FoodPhoto working guidance) |
| Format | High-quality JPG or PNG (FoodPhoto working guidance) |
| Content rules | Clear, in-focus, real food; no text, watermarks, promotional content, people or packaging (Zomato public policy) |
Zomato's public policy does not rank photos by an engagement algorithm. Keep the shot authentic and confirm the current upload requirements in your partner dashboard.
How to prepare compliant photos
- Crop to a centered 1:1 (square) or 4:3 working export and keep margin for app thumbnails (confirm the live rule in your partner dashboard).
- Use a real photo of the menu item customers receive; fix lighting, sharpness and background without changing the food.
- Export as JPG or PNG below 5MB before uploading.

What Zomato's photo guidelines accept and reject
Zomato's public photo guidelines (accessed 20 Sep 2026) are qualitative: photos should be clear and in focus, and images may be moved or removed if they are duplicates, blurry, promotional, or contain text, watermarks, people, half-eaten food, packaging or food under preparation. The public policy does not explicitly mention AI-generated images and does not publish a 1000x1000px, ratio or 5MB rule, so confirm current requirements in your partner dashboard. That is why FoodPhoto.ai improves a real photo of your plate rather than fabricating a dish.
Pass the Zomato review the first time
- Upload a genuine photo of the dish as the customer receives it - not a render or a downloaded image.
- One dish per frame; no collages or multi-photo grids.
- No faces, watermarks, logos, or phone numbers burned into the image.
- Sharp focus, bright even light, accurate color, and a tidy, uncluttered background.
- Keep the plate centered so it still reads clearly at small thumbnail size in the app.
Zomato's public policy and Swiggy listings both reward clean, well-lit, centered shots, so a correctly-framed image travels across both Indian marketplaces. (Source: Zomato photo guidelines, accessed 20 Sep 2026.)

Photo FAQ
What photo size does Zomato require?
Zomato's public photo policy is qualitative: clear, in-focus real food, with no text, watermarks, promotional content, people or packaging. The 1000x1000px, 1:1/4:3 and 5MB figures are FoodPhoto working export guidance, not a published Zomato rule.
What is the Zomato menu image size and hero image size?
Zomato menu item photos should be centered and authentic; use a 1000x1000px square or 4:3 working export unless your partner dashboard says otherwise. Upload above the minimum where possible and keep the dish centered so thumbnails stay clear.
What is the Zomato photo upload size limit?
Each Zomato image upload can be up to 5MB. Keep files as JPG or PNG below that limit so they upload reliably from the merchant dashboard.
Can I make Zomato photos from phone shots?
Yes. FoodPhoto.ai improves a real phone photo of your plated dish and exports it at the size Zomato expects, without changing the actual food. Plans from $15/mo (about 60 photos), or a $5 pack of 10 photos.
