Cover photos
Meet these requirements to ensure your uploaded cover photos are accepted.
Guidelines for cover photos:
- Aesthetically pleasing pictures
- Margins must fill the expected dimension (2880 pixel width and 2304 pixel height)
- Use a JPEG format with a 5:4 aspect ratio
- Picture must be centred, level and properly cropped
- Display products and/or meals that will be available for customers to buy
- Cover image must contain items relevant to the shopfront (example: flowers for a florist) with a simple background (wood, stone, marble, etc.)
- Brand names are allowed as long as they don’t overpower the image and you own or have the right to use the name or logo (pro tip: use the name in a soft font to the side if you want to)
- We don’t recommend using images that include people (including minors, celebrities and employees), as this would require their image authorisation
- Consider politically correct images when displaying products for adults (like alcohol)
What photos shouldn’t look like:
- Only the logo
- Banned words for shop name
- Have text that’s not a logo
- Logos or text other than the shop name (including the Uber Eats logo)
- Blurry pictures that don’t clearly show products offered by the shop
- Not bright or in focus
- Low saturation or brightness
- Harsh shadows or glaring sunlight
- Black and white
- Only a single product sold at your shop
- Overly cluttered or piled items on top of each other (like a collage) or items aren’t easily identifiable
- Building shopfront or interior
- Animals, people, etc.
- Objects other than the product being sold at the shop
- The shop’s scenery
- Items that don’t represent the merchant category. This includes people in cover taking away from the product/message of the shop.
- Pictures that contain one or more restricted items unless an exception applies
- No smoke-related products (including tobacco, vapes, cigars, CBD and e-cigars)
- No infant formula (blocked from marketing)
- No items that need a prescription
- For alcohol, images must be referential, with no particular brand displayed. Otherwise, a health warning is required.
