Troubleshooting & Common Issues

Processing fails or browser tab becomes unresponsive

Possible Cause: Network interruption or transient API rate limit during payload transfer.

Solution: Verify your internet connection and retry with a stable network connection.

Output format or file extension does not open in third-party viewer

Possible Cause: Certain legacy desktop applications lack codecs for modern formats like WebP, AVIF, or Opus.

Solution: Select standard backwards-compatible export formats like PNG, JPG, or MP3 in the tool settings dropdown.

Quality appears different from expected output

Possible Cause: Aggressive lossy compression or incorrect aspect ratio scaling settings selected in the interface.

Solution: Adjust the quality slider to 85%+ or choose lossless processing mode to retain original fidelity.
