Quick FAQ

Does my image upload to ConvertPal’s servers?

No. The file is read in your browser, composited on a canvas, and the download is generated locally. Nothing is sent to our servers for this overlay step.

What is the difference between Original and the named presets?

Original uses your image’s pixel width and height as the canvas. Named presets use fixed dimensions and scale your image with a center crop (cover) so the frame is always filled—typical for social thumbnails.

Which download format and quality are used?

Exports are JPEG (.jpg) at quality 0.92 for a strong balance of clarity and file size.
