Inputs the calculator should consider
The useful calculation is not just width and height. Restaurants need to know the final channel, crop, safe margin, file format, and whether the dish still reads clearly after resizing.
- Target platform
- Aspect ratio
- Minimum pixel size
- Safe crop margin
- File format and size
Output checklist
Before upload, each final image should pass basic technical and visual checks. A correctly sized image can still fail if the dish is dark, too small, or misrepresented.
- Dish centered
- No important edges cropped
- Sharp at thumbnail size
- Accurate color
- Meets platform dimensions
