Before you finish
A quick check makes a better result.
OutMonkey is built to be simple enough for someone doing this once and useful enough for someone who does it every day.
Good to know
Use the number, then use your eyes.
A passing contrast result is useful, but also look at the real text size, weight, background and surrounding colours. Readability is the goal, not just the score.
If the result is for someone else, open it once as they would see it. That simple check catches a surprising number of tiny mistakes.
In plain English
You do not need to be an expert.
You do not need to be a designer to use these checks. If text feels faint or difficult to read, choose a clearer combination even when the numbers are technically acceptable.
Use contrast checks as a floor for readability, not the whole accessibility story.
File size & formats
Big images use more memory than their file size suggests.
What can I use?
JPG, PNG and WebP are the safest choices. Other image formats work when your browser can decode them.
Is there a size limit?
There is no extra OutMonkey upload-size cap in the browser interface. Very high-resolution images can still hit your browser or device memory limit, especially when enlarging them.
If the file is huge
If an enormous image will not process, use a smaller copy or reduce its pixel dimensions first. Keep the original untouched.
