Editorial Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2026

This Editorial Policy explains how the pages of GoSaveTool are written, checked and updated: the tool descriptions, the step-by-step instructions, the frequently asked questions, the guide articles and the notes about file formats. It describes what you can expect from our content and where our limits are, so you can judge for yourself how far you want to rely on it.

We keep this policy short on purpose. Every rule below is one we can actually follow with the team and the tools we have, and every rule is visible on the site: the steps on a tool page are the steps we tested, the numbers on a calculator are the ones its formula produces, and a page that changes shows a new date.

1. Who is behind the content

GoSaveTool is an independent website, not a media company and not a division of a platform. The tool pages and guides are produced by the site's own editorial work: one person plans the page, tests the tool, writes the text and publishes it. There are no guest authors, no bought bylines and no invented expert names. You can always reach the people responsible for a page through the contact page.

Because the site is small, the person who answers your email is the same person who edits the page. That is also why our correction process is described in plain terms on the Corrections and Updates page rather than in a legal formula.

2. How AI help is used, and what it is not used for

We use language models as a drafting tool, the same way a writer uses a spell checker and a thesaurus. A model can propose a structure, a first draft of a paragraph or a shorter phrasing; a human then reads the page, checks the claims against the sources listed below, removes what is wrong and rewrites what sounds like a machine wrote it. Nothing is published straight from a model.

  • Disclosure in practice: where a page was first drafted with AI help, that help was reviewed and corrected before publishing. We do not present AI output as the opinion of a named expert, and we never publish a fabricated quote, a made-up testimonial or a person who does not exist.
  • Inside the AI tools: tools such as the article generator, the hashtag generator or the blog writer create text from what you type. Their output is a starting point for you to edit, not a fact-checked document. You are responsible for what you publish with it, including its accuracy and its rights.
  • Inside the media tools: the audio, video, image and PDF tools do not use a language model at all. They process your file on your device with code that behaves the same way every time.

What happens to the text you type is described in the Privacy Policy; in short, it is used to produce your result and is not stored with your identity.

3. How a tool is tested before its page is published

A tool page is not written from a description of a library; it is written after the tool has been run. Before a page goes live we do the following, and we repeat it when the browser engine, the processing library or the format we rely on changes:

  1. End to end with a real file: a normal file in every format the page claims to support is opened, processed with the default settings and downloaded again.
  2. The result, not just the button: the exported file is opened in an ordinary player, viewer or phone gallery, so we know the output is valid and not only that the progress bar finished.
  3. More than one browser: the same run is repeated in Chrome, Firefox and Safari on a desktop, and once on a phone, because the tools run in the browser and browsers differ.
  4. The edges: the file-size limit, the length limit, an unusual format and a file with no audio or no video track are tried on purpose, so the page can tell you what happens instead of leaving you to find out.
  5. The instructions: the numbered steps on the page are checked against what the tool actually asks for, in the order a first-time visitor meets them.

When a test fails, the page either waits or states the real limit in its own words. We do not publish a format list, a maximum size or a speed claim that the test did not confirm.

4. Facts, numbers and the sources we cite

Where a page states a fact that we did not measure ourselves, it comes from a primary source rather than from another blog: the specification or the standards body for a file format, the documentation of the browser feature the tool uses, the help centre of the platform whose limit is being described, or the official documentation of the search engine whose guidance is quoted. The tool pages list the standards and platforms they are about, and the pages that give advice cite the document behind it.

  • Numbers that go out of date: payout rates, upload limits, caption lengths and recommended image sizes are set by platforms and change without notice. A page that depends on such a number says what it describes and when it was last checked, and we re-check it when a platform announces a change.
  • Numbers we refuse to invent: we do not publish a statistic because it sounds convincing. If we cannot point to where a figure comes from, the page does not contain the figure.
  • Calculators: the earnings, engagement, bitrate and health calculators apply a visible formula to the values you enter. They estimate; they do not predict what a platform will pay you or replace professional advice.

5. Accuracy, updates and corrections

Each page carries the date it was last modified, and that date moves when the content changes, not when the design changes. When we find an error ourselves, or a reader reports one, the page is corrected and the report is handled under the process on the Corrections and Updates page. We correct a page rather than quietly deleting the sentence that was wrong, and we do not remove a published correction from the log.

6. Independence and advertising

  • Advertising pays for the servers and the AI usage; it does not buy an opinion, a ranking or a sentence. Advertisers never see a page before it is published and cannot ask for a change.
  • No tool is placed in a list, a menu or a recommendation because someone paid for it. Tools are grouped by what they do, and the order inside a group follows the task, not a commercial deal.
  • We do not publish sponsored reviews, paid comparisons or affiliate rankings disguised as advice. If that ever changes, the page will say so at the top, in the same size as the rest of the text.

7. What we do not publish

These are the lines we hold ourselves to, and the reason you will not find certain things on this site:

  • No invented social proof: no made-up testimonials, user counts, awards, certifications or partnerships. The star rating on a tool page comes only from votes visitors actually cast.
  • No promised results: we describe what a tool does, not how many followers, views or sales it will bring you.
  • No professional advice: the health, money and business calculators are educational estimates, not medical, legal, tax or investment advice.
  • No copied work: text, images and code come from the site or from a source we are allowed to use and credit. If you believe something on the site is yours, the Copyright Policy explains how to tell us.

8. Plain language and accessibility

The site is published in English and written to be understood on a first reading: short sentences, one idea per paragraph, and the answer to a question before the explanation. Instructions are numbered, buttons are named as they appear on screen, and the pages work with a keyboard and a screen reader. If a sentence on a page is unclear to you, that is a fault in the page, not in you; tell us and we will rewrite it.

9. Questions about our content

If you want to know how a page was made, disagree with a claim, or want to suggest a tool, write to us through the contact page. If you found a mistake, the Corrections and Updates page lists exactly what to include so it can be checked quickly. Our About page describes the site and its principles, and the Terms of Use covers the rules for using the tools themselves.
