How Aftermath guides are authored and reviewed

What the reviewed release checks

These are bounded statements about the current application release. Internal test files and reproduction records remain private; the public page shows the claim, reviewed scope, limitation, and review date.

• Selected file data is processed locally; the reviewed processing boundary has no browser upload or real-time network primitive. Scope: The reviewed boundary covers ordinary image, PDF, audio, video, scanner, and SVG processing modules. Limit: It does not cover browser extensions, a compromised browser, or future code that has not passed the same release review. Reviewed 2026-09-01.
• Untrusted raster and SVG inputs are checked before preview, and active or external SVG content is rejected or removed before rendering. Scope: The reviewed checks cover signature agreement, raster/SVG separation, request-capable references, active SVG elements, and complexity limits. Limit: A safe local preview does not guarantee identical rendering in every browser, font environment, or downstream SVG engine. Reviewed 2026-09-01.
• Image requirement results use measured pixels and bytes, and missing destination constraints remain warnings rather than measured passes. Scope: The reviewed behavior covers exact pixel, byte, format, and no-constraints states used by image inspectors and validators. Limit: Measured properties cannot decide identity, visible content, eligibility, account state, or an external destination’s private checks. Reviewed 2026-09-01.
• Supported PDF operations create a separate document and reopen or inspect its page structure instead of assuming the output is sound. Scope: The reviewed boundary includes ordered pages, selected ranges, page boxes, rotation, normalized canvases, and unsupported complex-document states. Limit: Signed, encrypted, form-filled, permission-restricted, and other complex PDFs remain outside the safe rewrite boundary. Reviewed 2026-09-01.
• Audio and video processing enforce source or buffered-output safeguards and reopen completed media to check expected output tracks. Scope: The reviewed behavior covers task-specific local writers, bounded results, cancellation, and completed-track validation. Limit: Codec support, performance, memory, quality, and playback still vary by browser, device, source container, and operation. Reviewed 2026-09-01.
• Destination validators distinguish missing or invalid rules from measured passes, so incomplete requirements remain visible warnings. Scope: The reviewed behavior covers bytes, pixels, format, missing values, and invalid ranges entered from an external requirement. Limit: The linked official source and destination remain authoritative for changing and non-measurable acceptance requirements. Reviewed 2026-09-01.
• A newly available site version waits for an explicit reload choice and warns users to finish or download current local work first. Scope: The reviewed update flow keeps the active page usable until the user deliberately accepts the newly available version. Limit: Refreshing, closing a tab, clearing browser storage, or a browser crash can still discard an undownloaded local result. Reviewed 2026-09-01.
• Task hubs route a stated need to distinct focused tools without presenting the hub itself as every operation. Scope: The reviewed route records include authored decision examples, valid canonical targets, and visible selection tables. Limit: A selection table explains route ownership; it does not guarantee that a search engine will select the same destination. Reviewed 2026-09-02.
• Browser utilities describe measurements, permissions, and results as observations from the current session rather than certifications. Scope: The reviewed boundary covers visible timing, input, permission, and device limitations on browser utility routes. Limit: Hardware, scheduling, background state, browser support, and user input can change a result between sessions. Reviewed 2026-09-02.

Authorship identifies the published guide owner

The guide byline identifies Gal Itach, Valorem as the author of the first-party guide content. It identifies who is responsible for this site’s editorial copy; it does not add a credential, license, independent audit, or authority over a third-party platform.

• Aftermath guides explain the browser-local workflow and its practical limits.
• They do not replace a destination’s own current rules, a product manual, or professional advice.
• Claims about a publisher, product, library, browser API, or store remain bounded by the linked source.

Review connects visible copy to observable behaviour

Aftermath product and source review checks that a guide describes the intended local inputs, outputs, result boundaries, and linked sources in ordinary language. The review is designed to keep page text, visible limitations, and structured data aligned; it is not a promise that every file, browser, or external destination will behave the same way.

• A measured local result is described as evidence for review, not a universal acceptance certificate.
• External rules are linked to the publisher and retain their recorded review date.
• Claims explicitly marked unsupported, under review, withdrawn, or inaccessible are held from indexing until corrected. Review age alone does not hide a page.

Sources and promotional references have a withdrawal rule

The public claim registry records each source, its review date, and any known issue. Review intervals are reminders; pages remain available as dates age. Requirements and products can change, so verify the linked official source before relying on a claim. Claims explicitly placed under review, withdrawn, or marked inaccessible remain held from indexing until corrected.

• The registry does not add ratings, testimonials, pricing, performance results, or product capabilities that are not visibly supported.
• Valorem links are optional secondary discovery, separate from Aftermath’s task-first tool navigation.
• Review dates record a project check, not a guarantee that another publisher has not changed since that date.

Corrections are welcome and need source context

To report an inaccurate explanation, requirement, source link, or promotional reference, email contact@aftermath.cc with the affected Aftermath URL, the authoritative source URL, and a short explanation of the correction. Do not send a private file unless you deliberately choose to share it; the local file tools do not need it for a correction report.
