Editorial policy — how Cutmoor guides are made

Who writes the guides

Guides are written and edited by the Cutmoor team. Each guide is checked against the behavior of the tools on this site: the presets, the limits, the output formats, and the error messages a visitor will actually see.

The team has hands-on experience preparing short-form video and social images for publishing. Where a recommendation depends on a platform's current rules, the guide says so and links to the platform's own documentation when possible.

How we test

A typical video test uses three files: a 1080p phone clip, a vertical 9:16 clip, and a longer screen recording. An image test uses a 12 MP phone photo, a transparent PNG screenshot, and an iPhone HEIC original. We run each preset, inspect the output size and dimensions, and note where the browser approach fails.

We do not publish invented benchmarks, fake studies, or precise speed claims that depend on a device we cannot see. When we give a number, it is a limit, a platform recommendation, or a setting you can reproduce.

Updates and corrections

Platform size limits and recommended resolutions change. Guides show a published and updated date. A material change is reflected in both the guide and the date.

If a guide is wrong, email the contact address with the URL and the correction. Confirmed errors are fixed and the updated date changes. We do not quietly edit a claim and leave the old date in place.

Independence

Guides are not paid placements. Advertising is separated from editorial content and does not determine which tools or settings we recommend. The site is supported by ads, not by sponsored rankings.
