FAQ

Why were fewer files processed than expected?

This is usually related to source file count, maximum output count, filters, sorting, or mode settings. Check the input folder and quantity limits first.

Why does the output differ from the preview?

Check size, crop mode, compression quality, background, text placement, sorting, output format, and the preview sample.

Should I overwrite original files?

Use a separate output folder and replace originals only after checking the generated results.

Tips

  • Test with 3 to 5 files before processing many files.
  • Use clear source filenames for sorting, troubleshooting, and archiving.
  • For ecommerce, print, or social media, confirm size, sharpness, and format requirements first.
