Explaining aspect ratio letterboxing
Downloads may include black bars if the source was already pillarboxed. Offer a crop tool only if licensing and ethics allow, and warn about cutting subtitles.
Many viewers prefer original framing for archival honesty.
Press kits for journalists covering your tool
A `/press` page with logo SVG, founder quote, and factual feature list speeds ethical coverage. Avoid astroturf testimonials; link to verifiable metrics if you publish them.
Respond to press emails within one business day when possible.
Batch jobs and fair-use queueing
Even when policy allows multiple files, rate limits protect your infrastructure and signal good citizenship to platforms you depend on.
Expose queue position honestly instead of infinite “processing” states.
