What is the most reusable delivery app photo format?

A high-resolution square image is the safest reusable starting point because most benchmarked platforms accept or prefer 1:1 menu photos.

Why do restaurants need country-specific photo requirements?

Some global platforms operate with different market requirements, local support guidance, and marketplace norms. Country pages help teams avoid rejected uploads and weak mobile thumbnails.

Platforms with the broadest country coverage

These platforms create the biggest operational need for reusable export workflows because multi-market teams have to keep photos consistent across countries.

Practical takeaway for restaurant teams

Use a square, high-resolution master image for every dish, then export platform-specific crops only when a marketplace or country page demands it. This reduces rejected uploads and keeps thumbnails readable on mobile ordering screens.

Methodology

This benchmark uses the FoodPhoto.ai delivery photo requirements database, which maps delivery and ordering platforms to published or operationally observed image requirements: minimum resolution, aspect ratio, max file size, and countries served.

Platform requirements change. FoodPhoto.ai treats this report as a snapshot and maintains the live country and platform pages under the delivery photo specs hub for operational use.
