Who writes our guides
Guides are written by the people who build and support each tool: the photo team writes about cutouts, upscaling and restoration, the audio team about transcripts and subtitles, and our search specialists about rankings and AI visibility.
Before publication, a second person follows every step on real files and checks every figure, from print sizes to subtitle timing conventions. Each guide shows the date of its last review.
How we test
Every walkthrough is tested on a set of sample files that covers the hard cases: fur and hair against busy backgrounds, scanned prints with creases and color casts, episodes with crosstalk and music, websites in four languages.
When a guide gives a number, such as pixels per inch for print, characters per subtitle line or Core Web Vitals thresholds, it comes from a published standard or a widely used industry convention, never from a guess.
How we use AI
We use AI tools the way our customers do: to transcribe interviews, draft summaries and check spelling. Every guide is written, edited and checked by a person, and no step is published before someone has done it by hand.
Images in guides are either real results from our tools or illustrations, and we say which. We never present a generated image as a customer’s photo.
Mentions of our own tools
Our guides show how to do a task with our tools, because that is what we know best. We also say when another approach works better, such as a desktop editor for detailed retouching or a professional transcriber for legal records.
No guide is sponsored, and we do not accept payment for mentions or links.
Updates and corrections
Guides are reviewed when a tool changes, when a standard changes, and at least every six months. The date at the top of each guide is the date of its last review.
