Open screenshot at full sizeFor an Uber Eats item photo, start with a horizontal crop between 5:4 and 6:4. A 1200 × 960 export uses 5:4. Cover images have a separate 2880 × 2304 specification.
| Field | Item photo | Cover image |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | Width: 550–10,000 px; height: 440–10,000 px | 2880 × 2304 px |
| Aspect ratio | 5:4 to 6:4 recommended | 5:4 |
| File type | JPG, PNG or GIF | JPEG |
| File limit | 10 MB; 5 MB in Creative Hub | Check the cover uploader |

These specifications come from Uber’s merchant photo guidelines. Keep the item in focus and inside the frame. Avoid text overlays, watermarks and unrelated objects. Check your account’s uploader for any additional requirements.
Uber: merchant item and cover photo requirements
Prepare the crop before changing the size
Open the largest original file you have. Try the horizontal crop before reducing its dimensions. Keep the rim, crust and other edges that help someone understand the portion.
A vertical image can lose a large part of its top and bottom when cropped horizontally. Move the crop until the dish fits. If a required part remains outside the frame, return to a wider source image.
- Open the free delivery photo resizer and choose your file.
- Select Uber Eats and move the focus point to keep the dish inside the preview.
- Download the 1200 × 960 file and inspect it at full size.
- Check the file size and the preview in your merchant account.
Check detail after export
Look at the parts most likely to blur: rice, grated cheese, herbs and the edge of the plate. Then shrink the preview to the size of a menu tile. The guest should still recognize the dish.
The free photo checker can flag resolution, exposure and sharpness issues. Use its findings to choose what to inspect. The merchant platform decides whether an upload is accepted.
Check sharpness, exposure and resolution
Upload the item photo in Uber Eats Manager

Uber Eats: photo upload instructions
Keep the source, export and item name together. If you manage several locations, include the location in the filename. That makes later replacements easier to check.
