# Images

> Upload menu-item photos, category banners, and hero galleries for QR menus and websites.

Images make your menu sellable. DishInk supports per-item photos, category banners, and hero galleries on QR menus and websites.

## Overview

Best photo practice:

* Square aspect ratio (1:1)
* Minimum 800x800 px
* Natural lighting, plain background
* Consistent styling across the menu

## Upload an image

<Frame caption="Menu image upload">
  <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/dishink/images/menu/images.png" alt="Images" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  Images are compressed on upload for fast mobile loading. The original is retained in case you need to re-crop.
</Note>

## Tips & best practices

<Tip>
  Photograph your entire menu in one session with consistent lighting. Photos taken across weeks look inconsistent and cheapen the menu.
</Tip>

## Common mistakes

<Warning>
  Do not use stock images. Guests recognise generic photos instantly and lose trust in the whole menu.
</Warning>
