Zomato Photo Size in UAE: Image, Menu & Upload Specs
Zomato's public photo policy is qualitative — clear, in-focus food, no text, watermarks, people or packaging — and publishes no pixel, ratio or size rule. A 1000x1000px / 1:1 or 4:3 / 5MB export is FoodPhoto working guidance; confirm the live rule in your partner dashboard. Use this guide before uploading menu photos or hero images in the UAE merchant dashboard.

In the UAE, Zomato is one of several delivery apps diners use — alongside Talabat, Deliveroo, Careem and Uber Eats. So you are not only matching the file specs Zomato lists; you are competing for taps against menus on those apps, where thumbnail clarity, realistic color and centered plating decide which dish gets ordered.
