How to Add Photos to Uber Eats: Menu Maker Upload Steps + Review Fixes
Use this page when you already know you need to upload or replace Uber Eats menu photos. It covers Menu Maker steps, item-image specs, review fixes, and the practical difference between single-item menu images and storefront cover photos.
How to add photos to Uber Eats menu items
- Open Uber Eats Manager. Sign in to Uber Eats Manager and open Menu Maker for the correct store.
- Select the menu item. Choose the exact item that should receive the photo. Confirm the title and modifiers before upload.
- Prepare the image file. Use JPG, PNG, or GIF, keep the file under 10 MB, and stay within 550 to 10000 px width and 440 to 10000 px height.
- Use a delivery-safe crop. A 5:4 to 6:4 crop is recommended for item images. Show one item clearly and avoid text or overlays.
- Upload and save. Attach the image in Menu Maker, save the item, and allow review time before assuming the image is live.
- Replace rejected images. Fix the specific issue, upload a new file, and keep the old filename or status in your tracking sheet for auditability.

Common review fixes
- Wrong item: remove the image, rename the file clearly, and attach it to the correct menu record.
- Too small: regenerate or re-export from a higher-resolution source instead of stretching the old file.
- Bad crop: use a 5:4 or 6:4 crop and leave room around the food.
- Rights issue: use your own photo or a properly licensed image, not a competitor image or app screenshot.
- Multiple items: use a single-item image unless the menu item is sold as a combo or platter.
Replacement workflow
For menu refreshes, keep a simple queue: item name, current image URL or filename, replacement filename, upload date, review status, and notes. This is especially useful for restaurants that update lunch specials, seasonal items, or ghost-kitchen menus across multiple locations.
