Questions

What shape does Uber Eats want?

Uber's own menu API documentation states only the size (320–6,000 px each side), files under 25 MB and the formats (JPG, WEBP, PNG), and no shape. Ratios such as 5:4 circulating online come from third parties and are not confirmed by Uber. Source

Can I add a garnish for color?

Yes, as long as the photo is still a true representation of the dish. Once submitted, the item page is locked until the photo is approved; reasons for a rejection show on the item page and come by email. Source

Does Uber Eats offer a free photo shoot?

Yes. New restaurant partners get one complimentary professional photo shoot of their menu during onboarding. Source

Does Uber Eats enhance photos with AI itself?

Yes. On 31 July 2025 Uber announced AI that improves the lighting, resolution, framing and plating of low-quality menu photos. Source

What third parties say (not confirmed by the platform)

• ·Photoroom says the ratio must be between 5:4 and 6:4 (5:4 recommended), width 550–10,000 px, height 440–10,000 px, max 10 MB, JPG/PNG/GIF. Source
