Delivery App Food Photos

Frequently asked questions

What makes a delivery listing photo work?

Brightness, a single dish filling the tile, and instant recognizability. Delivery apps are browsed fast at small size against direct competitors. Dark, busy or ambiguous images lose the comparison before the price is considered.

Should I photograph the food in its delivery packaging?

Show it plated for appetite, since that is what sells the dish. But be honest that it arrives in a container — a photo implying restaurant plating for something delivered in a box is a common complaint.

Does the portion need to match what I send out?

Yes, and delivery is where this is checked most rigorously, because the customer sees the picture and the reality minutes apart. The AI is asked to keep the dish as shot, so photograph the actual portion you dispatch and compare the result with it.

Do delivery platforms have image requirements?

Many publish minimum resolution, aspect ratio and content rules, and some do not allow added text, logos or promotional badges on dish images. Check the current guidelines for each platform you list on before uploading a full menu.

Should I use the same photo on Zomato, Swiggy and my own site?

You can, since the result is an ordinary PNG, but each platform has its own size and content rules. Keep the master PNG, then crop or resize a copy for each placement and check each partner portal's current guidelines before you upload.

Can I show a combo meal with a drink and sides?

Photograph the combo as it is packed and sent, then upload that one picture. The page rebuilds the surroundings for the whole frame, so check that every item is present, the count matches the order and no extra side or sauce has appeared.

Why does my listing photo look different from my original?

The surface, light and background are generated, so the picture differs from your original by design. If the dish itself looks different, with a changed garnish, color or portion, that is a defect: compare it with your photo, generate again, or use the original for that listing.

How do I avoid a dull or flat-looking result?

Start from a photo taken in daylight near a window, with side light that shows texture. A flat, dim original gives the page little to work with. Brighten and sharpen the source first with the AI Photo Enhancer if needed, then choose Bright marble or Café table.

Does the page change the dish's color or add steam?

It generates a new surface and light and asks the AI to keep the dish, so the food color can still shift a little under the new light. Compare the sauce, the greens and the crust with your original in daylight, and do not ask for steam, sparkle or extra toppings in Custom instructions, since those misdescribe what arrives.

Can I add a promotion banner or discount to the tile?

Not on this page, which leaves lettering out, and many platforms do not allow badges or promotional text on dish images, so check the partner rules. Put offers in the platform's own offer fields, where they stay accurate when the price changes.
