| Upscaled image remains soft | The source contains insufficient edge or texture information. | Reduce the scale, try mild sharpening and obtain a higher-quality original if possible. |
| Details look artificial | Sharpening or texture enhancement has been applied too aggressively. | Lower enhancement intensity and compare at normal display size. |
| Bright or dark halos appear | Strong edge enhancement or Lanczos ringing affects high-contrast boundaries. | Lower sharpness or contrast; try a milder preset. |
| Face looks waxy | Overly strong noise reduction smooths skin texture. | Reduce denoising and retune Portrait mode. |
| Faces are not detected | Browser face-detection capability or the photograph may not support detection. | Use General mode or manually adjust the overall enhancement. |
| Image contains more visible noise | Sharpening amplified existing grain and compression patterns. | Increase denoising moderately before sharpening; try JPEG deblocking. |
| JPEG blocks remain visible | Heavy lossy compression has damaged nearby image detail. | Enable deblocking and, ideally, replace the source with a cleaner file. |
| Text remains unreadable | The original characters were too blurred or small to distinguish. | Acquire a clearer scan or source document and verify with human review. |
| Fine text gains false outlines | An overly strong edge pass exaggerates glyph boundaries. | Use Text mode with gentle sharpening and check at native size. |
| Anime outlines appear jagged | Scale choice or sharpening exaggerates line artifacts. | Try Anime mode with less edge enhancement. |
| Flat artwork gets unwanted texture | Photo-oriented detail boosts alter smooth illustrated regions. | Switch to Artwork mode and reduce texture boosting. |
| Old photo scratches remain | The damaged areas are larger or more complex than local filters can repair. | Use the Restore preset lightly and consider specialist manual restoration. |
| Old-photo colors look unnatural | Automatic levels or white-balance changes overcorrect the scan. | Reduce corrections and compare against the unedited archival copy. |
| Portrait looks different from the source | Enhancement alters contrast and visible facial texture. | Decrease face sharpening; do not rely on the result for identification. |
| Export fails at 8K | Browser canvas or memory limits have been exceeded. | Choose 4K or a lower scale and close memory-intensive tabs. |
| Browser tab becomes unresponsive | Large source images, high scale and batch processing exceed available resources. | Restart with a smaller image and reduce simultaneous batch work. |
| Batch button accepts fewer files | The active editor limits file count and size. | Follow the displayed limits; process additional images in separate batches. |
| One image in batch looks worse | Different image types need different denoising and sharpening settings. | Separate portraits, drawings and screenshots into mode-specific batches. |
| Batch ZIP will not open | The export may have been interrupted or corrupted. | Retry a smaller batch and test the downloaded archive. |
| AVIF export is missing | The active browser may lack the required encode support. | Export WebP, PNG or JPG and check target compatibility. |
| Transparent edges show a fringe | Resampling and alpha handling can reveal edge colors around transparency. | Inspect on contrasting backgrounds and try a PNG output. |
| JPG export loses fine detail | Lossy recompression introduces new artifacts. | Choose higher quality or save PNG/WebP where appropriate. |
| PNG file size is very large | Lossless storage of a high-resolution raster needs substantial space. | Use an efficient web delivery format after retaining a suitable master. |
| Output aspect ratio seems wrong | Selected target dimensions do not match the source proportions. | Review target dimensions and crop or letterbox separately as needed. |
| Quality score rises but image looks worse | Heuristic metrics reward edge contrast without understanding realism. | Prefer visual accuracy and reduce aggressive sharpening. |
| Photo is too dark after enhancing | Auto-levels or tonal adjustment shifted the contrast balance. | Tune enhancement strength and compare with the original. |
| Mobile browser runs out of memory | High-resolution canvas processing is resource-intensive. | Use 2× scaling, smaller inputs or a more capable desktop browser. |
| File format is rejected | The file may be corrupted, mislabeled or outside supported input types. | Convert a copy to standard JPG or PNG and retry. |
| Source upload exceeds the size limit | The editor currently displays a 50 MB-per-file limit. | Use a smaller source file or split the workflow. |
| Metadata is needed after exporting | Re-encoding or format conversion may not preserve all original metadata. | Keep the source file and inspect the exported metadata before publication. |
