Troubleshooting

Most issues can be isolated by checking the input type, file size, account access and whether the original source contains readable content or preserved metadata.

Image issues

  • Use JPG, JPEG, PNG or WebP and keep the file under 15 MB.
  • Export unusual color profiles or partially downloaded files again.
  • Keep the tab open while an asynchronous job is being polled.
  • If provenance is missing, try the original file instead of a screenshot or social-media copy.

Results and sign-in

  • Add more context when a text result reports limited evidence.
  • Reload once after a local development hot update if a provider-context error appears.
  • Use the same origin that started authentication so the WorkOS return path can complete.
  • Open Account → Subscription when a signed-in feature needs a higher plan.

For a persistent service issue, include the tool, time, browser, file type and report or job identifier in the support request. Do not email sensitive source content unless it is necessary for the investigation.
