Glovo operates across 25+ markets spanning Spain, Italy, Portugal, Eastern Europe, Morocco, Kenya, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and most of Latin America outside Brazil. Photo quality directly affects placement on the Glovo Collection feeds and category rankings.

This guide covers Glovo's official photo specifications, the common rejection reasons, and the one export spec that works across every Glovo market plus Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Rappi.

Glovo official photo specifications

Glovo publishes partner image guidelines in Glovo Manager. Specs are uniform across the 25+ countries where Glovo operates.

Minimum resolution: 1000 × 1000 pixels
Recommended resolution: 1400 × 1400 pixels
Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square)
Maximum file size: 5 MB per image
Accepted formats: JPEG and PNG
Color space: sRGB
Background: clean, consistent (white, wood, slate, neutral)
Content: single dish, no price, no promotional text, no watermarks

Glovo approval workflow

Photos go through automated validation and then partner manager review.

Automated check: resolution, aspect ratio, format, file size — instant
Partner manager review: 24 to 72 hours, focuses on authenticity and visual quality
Auto-rejection: below 1000 × 1000 px, non-square, over 5 MB, wrong format
Manual rejection: stock photos, hands or phones in frame, competing dishes, watermarks
Resubmission: allowed freely, but repeated rejection flags the account

Glovo regional considerations

Technical spec is identical everywhere, but the Glovo creative team suggests slightly different aesthetics per region.

Spain and Portugal: bright, vibrant tapas and Mediterranean-style photography
Italy: minimalist, editorial aesthetic — white backgrounds, clean plating
Eastern Europe (Poland, Romania, Ukraine): warm tones, hearty portion emphasis
Morocco and Kenya: vibrant colors, overhead angles for traditional dishes
LATAM (Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica): saturated colors, clear portion sizes

Glovo vs other European platforms

Restaurants in Spain, Italy, or Portugal often publish to Glovo alongside Uber Eats, Just Eat, Deliveroo (UK-expanded brands) and local platforms. Photos need to pass all of them.

Glovo: 1000 × 1000 px min, 1:1, 5 MB
Uber Eats: 1200 × 1200 px min, 1:1 or 4:3, 10 MB
Just Eat: 800 × 800 px min, 1:1 or 4:3, 5 MB
Deliveroo: 1200 × 1200 px min, 1:1 only, 5 MB
Universal export: 1600 × 1600 px, 1:1 square, JPEG, sRGB, under 5 MB

How to speed up Glovo menu updates

Glovo partners typically refresh menus every 4 to 8 weeks (LTOs, seasonal items, new categories). Scheduling a local photographer for that cadence is expensive.

Traditional photography: 400 to 1,500 EUR per shoot for 20 to 40 items in most EU markets
DIY phone photography: free but time-consuming, with consistency issues across items
AI workflow: take 3 phone shots per item, get Glovo-ready exports in under a minute
Hybrid: photographer for hero items once a year, AI for everything else

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum photo size for Glovo?

1000 × 1000 pixels in a 1:1 (square) aspect ratio, under 5 MB, in JPEG or PNG format. Photos below 1000 × 1000 are auto-rejected at upload in Glovo Manager.

Does Glovo accept 4:3 or rectangular photos?

No. Glovo requires 1:1 (square) only. Non-square photos are rejected automatically during upload validation.

Can I use the same photos on Glovo and Uber Eats?

Yes, if exported at 1200 × 1200 px minimum (to meet Uber Eats) and 1:1 square (to meet Glovo). Exporting at 1600 × 1600 px square covers both platforms plus Deliveroo, Just Eat and Rappi.

Does Glovo provide partner photography?

Glovo occasionally offers promotional shoots for new partners in select markets. Availability is market-specific and timing is set by Glovo. For ongoing LTOs and seasonal updates, partners need their own workflow.

Why are my Glovo photos being rejected?

Common rejection reasons: below 1000 × 1000 px, non-square aspect ratio, over 5 MB, stock photography, watermarks or prices overlaid, blurry or underexposed images, competing dishes in the frame, and photos that do not match the item description.

Does Glovo require JPEG or PNG?

Both are accepted. JPEG compresses better for food photography and produces smaller files at equivalent visual quality. PNG is allowed but produces larger files. HEIC, WebP and other formats are not accepted.
