Zero photo rejections from Merchant PortalDoorDash Photo Requirements Explained
The Merchant Portal has strict guidelines. Miss one requirement and your photos get rejected. Here's what DoorDash demands:
16:9 Aspect Ratio Required
DoorDash header images must be exactly 16:9. Standard phone cameras shoot 4:3, which gets awkwardly cropped or rejected.
Minimum 1920x1080px
Low-resolution images look pixelated on tablets and large phones. DoorDash recommends high-res photos for best display.
Food-Focused Composition
The dish must be the hero. No distracting backgrounds, hands, or branding. Clean, appetizing, centered.

Merchant Portal Photo Questions
Common questions from DoorDash restaurant partners
Why does DoorDash require 16:9 photos specifically?
DoorDash displays menu item headers in a widescreen 16:9 format across their app and website. Photos in other ratios get cropped automatically, often cutting off important parts of your dish. Our AI creates native 16:9 images so nothing gets lost.
Can I use the same photos for item cards and store headers?
DoorDash uses different aspect ratios for different placements. Item cards are more square, store headers are wider. TagCap lets you generate multiple versions from the same source photo to cover all placements.
My photos keep getting rejected. What am I doing wrong?
Common rejection reasons: wrong aspect ratio, too low resolution, watermarks, text overlays, or non-food elements in frame. TagCap eliminates all these issues automatically. We've processed 89,000+ DoorDash photos with a 100% approval rate.
How do I upload TagCap photos to the Merchant Portal?
Download the JPG from TagCap. Log into your DoorDash Merchant Portal. Go to Menu > Edit Item > Photo. Upload the file. That's it. Photos typically go live within minutes.
Do better photos really increase DoorDash orders?
DoorDash's own data shows items with professional photos get 25-35% more orders than items without photos. Our restaurant partners typically see a noticeable bump within the first week of upgrading their menu images.
