Frequently asked.
Everything worth knowing about the bench, in plain words.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no payment, no watermark. Published rate limits keep it that way — see the limits page for the exact windows.
What happens to my photos?
They are stored briefly and automatically deleted after 7 days. The job record keeps only measurements — dimensions, file sizes, timings — and is removed after 30 days. No human looks at them.
Which formats and sizes are accepted?
JPEG, PNG and WebP, up to 15 MB, at least 64×64 px and at most 12000 px per side. The header is parsed server-side; a file that lies about its type is refused.
How long does an enhancement take?
Typically 10–60 seconds depending on the pass. The stepper on the bench tracks every stage with a live clock, and the shareable result page keeps resolving even if you close the tab — come back with the link.
Flash or Pro — which pass should I pick?
Both target the same output resolution. Flash is the single pass — it keeps the most micro-detail and is the quicker plate. Pro runs the triple restoration pass — three chained sweeps that clean more noise and leave a smoother, more printable file. When in doubt, run Flash first; the meter counts either pass the same.
Why rate limits?
Enhancement consumes GPU time. The windows keep the bench fast and free for everyone, and the global daily budget protects it from automated bulk use. Every number is published — nothing is hidden.
Do you track me?
No analytics, no pixels, no ad scripts. The only per-client signal is a salted hash of the network address, which rotates daily and is used solely to enforce the published limits.
Can I use the results commercially?
Your photographs remain yours; so do the enhanced results. You keep all rights — see the terms.
My result says it expired.
Results live for 7 days, then the storage layer deletes them automatically. Re-run the photograph — the meter only counts new jobs.
