How to Optimise Food Photos for Google at imgresizr.com
Upload your restaurant photo to imgresizr.com. For the Google Business Profile cover photo, use the Resize tool to set 1080×608px (16:9 ratio). This is the image that appears prominently in your Knowledge Panel in Google Search. Use the Enhance tool to ensure the image is bright, vibrant, and appetising — it is often the first impression a potential customer has of your restaurant. For food photos, resize to at least 720×540px. Use the Enhance tool to boost food colours and sharpness. Google recommends uploading at least 3 photos per category (food, interior, exterior, team). More photos correlate with higher engagement metrics. Compress all photos to under 3MB. Upload via Google Business Profile Manager > Photos.
Google Business Profile Photo Tips
- More photos = higher engagement — restaurants with 100+ photos get 2× the website visits of those with fewer
- Include exterior photos to help customers identify the restaurant when arriving
- Update photos monthly — fresh content signals an active business to Google's algorithm
- Respond to customer-uploaded photos — engagement with your profile helps local search ranking
- Use accurate, appetising photos — misleading imagery increases reviews complaining about food not matching photos
