Uber Eats Cover Photo Requirements: 2880x2304 Storefront Image Guide
The Uber Eats cover photo is the storefront hero image, not a normal item photo. It should make the restaurant look order-worthy before a customer opens the menu. This guide focuses on the 2880 x 2304 cover-image workflow and how to export one strong hero food shot for the storefront.
Uber Eats cover photo requirements
Uber Eats cover guidance centers on a high-resolution 5:4 image that can represent the store in mobile and web surfaces. Treat it like a storefront banner: clean, appetizing, brand-relevant, and free of promo graphics.
| Requirement | Cover photo guidance | Operator note |
|---|---|---|
| Image size | 2880 x 2304 px | This is a 5:4 storefront cover export. Build the canvas at this size instead of stretching a smaller image. |
| Aspect ratio | 5:4 | Keep the main dish or spread centered with breathing room around the edges. |
| Format | JPG/JPEG recommended | Use a high-quality JPEG for the final storefront hero unless your live dashboard says otherwise. |
| Subject | Restaurant-representative food or spread | The photo should match what customers can buy from your store. |
| Avoid | Text, logos as overlays, coupons, phone screenshots, unrelated food, busy collages | Promotional graphics make the storefront look cluttered and can create review risk. |
| Different from item photos | Cover photo represents the store; item photos represent one menu item | Do not reuse a tight single-item crop if it looks awkward as a storefront hero. |
Cover photo vs item photo
An Uber Eats cover photo sells the restaurant as a whole. An item photo sells one dish. The cover can show a hero dish, a small spread, or a strong signature product, but it should still feel clean at storefront size. Item photos need stricter item-level accuracy because they attach to a specific menu record.
Composition rules for storefront impact
- Use one hero dish or a tight spread of best-selling items.
- Leave edge space so mobile crops do not cut off the main food.
- Keep lighting bright and natural; avoid harsh color casts.
- Use surfaces that make the food clear, not cluttered props.
- Do not add price text, discount badges, app UI, phone screenshots, or watermarks.
Export workflow from one hero food shot
Start with the strongest phone photo of a signature dish. Improve lighting, clean the background, create a 2880 x 2304 px canvas, and place the food so the visual center remains inside the middle 60% of the image. Export a high-quality JPG and preview it at mobile width before upload.
How to export an Uber Eats cover photo
- Choose the storefront hero. Pick a dish or spread that represents the restaurant and has enough visual detail to work as a cover.
- Create a 2880 x 2304 canvas. Use the exact 5:4 size and avoid upscaling a tiny image.
- Center the food safely. Keep important food away from the edge so app crops still show the dish.
- Remove clutter and promo elements. Do not include text, discount badges, app screenshots, watermarks, or busy collages.
- Export as high-quality JPG. Save the final hero image as a JPEG and inspect it at mobile thumbnail size.
