Image Requirements

PreviousIntegrationsNextNews Feed - Promotional Layout

Last updated 1 year ago

Introduction

Recommended sizes will be described as [width(in pixels) x height(in pixels)] while you can provide larger size images with the similar ratio if not passing the size limit. Image resolution should be 300dpi.

The images you provide should not be larger than 1MB (images will be optimized for fast loading while maintaining quality) - the system would not upload them!

Supported Platforms

  • Native Apps (Android and iOS)

  • Desktop Web

  • Mobile Web (for mobile phones and tablets)

For Email campaigns, check out guide.

General Recommendation

While different screens show the images a bit differently, our image algorithm knows how to always center the image based on the main object. We recommend making sure that all images are taken as follows:

Image Guides

Centering

Centering the image subject in the 1/3 center area of both axes is essential to prevent cropped main image parts, leave the rest of the image as empty as possible.

The image is used both for mobile phones and tablets therefore make sure you are centering the image subject area accordingly:

Home Page

You should select one of two variants for narrow screens: Split Layout or Full screen Background Image Layout.

The Desktop version has Split Layout by default.

Narrow Screens (width up to 840px):

Leaving empty areas surrounding your subject area is essential. This is done to prevent cropped image areas on various screen sizes.

Centering the image subject in both axes is essential, else you might get the main thing you want your customers to fully see cropped.

Split Layout Image Size: 600 x 800 (you may use larger images with a similar ratio)

Quick Nav. and Promotions Layout Image Size: 600 x 600

Fullscreen Background Image Layout Image Size: 1000 X 1400

Desktop Layout Image Size: 1600 x 1400

Reminder - the image size cannot be more than 1MB!

Store Images

Store images are there to give your customers some sense of how your store looks like from the outside, and what they should expect to see when they come to pick up their food.

Dimensions: 700 X 450

Menu Images

This will describe your menu layout, both for mobile and desktop

Menu Header

Displayed with your menu Items and your location details (phone number, address etc.).

Desktop Menu Header Image Size: 1920X300

Mobile Menu Header Image Size: 750X350

Reminder - the image size cannot be more than 1MB!

Menu Items

Make Sure images are centered to support most screen sizes

Menu Item Centered image example:

For narrow screen layout, you can choose from 2 variants of images layout for menu items. For desktop the default layout is "Image on top":

Menu Items Image Size: 1000 X 600

Reminder - the image size cannot be more than 1MB!

If your menu is synced from your POS there is no need to upload menu item images, we pull them automatically from the POS.

Coupon Images

Coupons are shown on your mobile apps and website in the Rewards/Gifts section similar to the way a menu item is shown. Therefore, they have almost the same requirements; see the guide above.

When styling your coupon text offer (if any), make sure that the text will be in the 1/9 center of the image in order to avoid cropping on some screen ratios.

Coupon Image Dimensions: 1000 X 600

File size is limited to 400kb!

Coupons will be shown in the following way in the apps and online ordering website:

Icons

You can send us icons to replace our default icons!

Make sure the icon will be in svg format, and only a few kilobytes. The icon should be 'fill' based (not 'stroke'). With this convention, we are able to color the icons according to the app-styles and view state. Do NOT add any color to the icons as we do not support it - it will be colored according to the app-styles. In order to convert an icon from stroke base to fill base, most of the illustration apps support Expand/Outline Stroke function. This function with the <add+> layers / merge layers function enable merging expanded stroke into one SVG path that can be colored. An example of the converted icon is attached.

Fonts

At Appfront we also have the capability to align the platform's fonts with your brand fonts- you can do it yourself through the portal as well!

In the portal, simply click on Design>General Styles, and you can upload the fonts (see image below):

You can change the font anywhere in the portal where it says "Font Family".

Google Fonts

Google Fonts are free to use and share. If you are using Google Fonts, simply type the name of the font in the relevant design component, and choose the font.

Fonts files

If you have your own font, you can upload it in the portal in the "Custom Fonts" section (see image above). You'll the font for use in the drop down menu. Supported formats: TrueType Fonts (TTF) OpenType Fonts (OTF) The Web Open Font Format (WOFF) The Web Open Font Format (WOFF 2.0)

Adobe Fonts

Mobile Apps Requirements

This section describes the design assets we need to upload Apps for the Android and Apple stores - apps cannot be created without these assets!

App Icon

Please follow the requirements below - THESE ARE APPLE'S REQUIREMENTS; THE APP CANNOT BE CREATED IF THE ICON DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS!

Icon Dimensions: 1024 X 1024

No transparent layer.

No rounded corners.

PNG\JPG format.

Splash Screen (iOS and Android only)

Dimensions: 750 X 1334px

No transparent layer.

PNG\JPG format.

Splash screens appear while native apps are launch.

The Splash screen will be created automatically for all devices. Make sure that the brand or logo text is located in the main 1/9 of the image in order for it to scale well on all devices.

The Splash screen should be treated as permanent. They are not for telling your customers about a new deal or discount, for that use the temporary splash screen that does not require an app update.

Example:

Reminder - the image size cannot be more than 1MB!

Upload app previews and screenshots (iOS)

The preview photos should be in JPG or PNG format and in the following resolutions:

6.5" iPhone - Either 1242x2688 or 1284x2778

5.5" iPhone - 1242x2208

3rd Gen iPad - 2732x2048

2nd Gen iPad - 2732x2048

It is important that the iPhone preview photos show an iPhone, and that the iPad preview photos show an iPad. Otherwise, Apple might not allow the update.

When the photos are ready, send them to the support team and we will upload them and update the new app version.

Campaigns

Email Campaign Images

Your customers are probably getting tons of marketing emails. A well thought out image will make your campaign stand out.

Centering the image subject in the 1/3 center area of both axes is essential to prevent cropped main image parts, leave the rest of the image as empty as possible.

It is recommended not to write your main campaign or coupon offering on the margins because it might be cropped on some devices

Styling advice

Choosing an image with a transparent background generally results in a more aesthetic experience

Email campaigns template has the following appearance:

Email campaign image requirements

MMS (SMS with Image)
