Media requirements

Formats, size limits, and what happens to content when media is deleted.

Upload rules

  • Formats: PNG, JPEG, and WebP.
  • Size limit: 10 MB per file. Larger files fail with an error — export smaller and retry.
  • Processing: Tabern compresses and sizes uploads automatically; no manual optimization needed.
  • Where: uploads happen in-context — hero, gallery, menu item, deal, rewards card — with no separate library step.

Recommendations by slot

  • Hero backgrounds — landscape, high quality; these are your largest visible images.
  • Logo — square with transparent background (PNG).
  • Menu item photos — square crops read best in the menu grid.
  • Deal images — landscape, food-forward.
  • Rewards card — follow the live preview; the punch card and Wallet pass show exactly what members see.
  • Favicon — square; the browser scales it down to tab size.

Deletion behavior

Tabern keeps content consistent when media goes away. When an uploaded image is deleted, references to it are removed automatically: it stops being used as a hero background, logo, story-gallery image, About image, deal image, or menu-item photo — whichever apply. Your text content is untouched; only the missing image slot empties.

Storage

Venue media is stored by Tabern on the platform's storage — you don't manage files, paths, or backups. Deleting a venue removes its media with it; see My websites.
