How Bitinz writes and checks its content

How Bitinz writes and checks its content

The Bitinz team writes these pages to help you choose formats, prepare uploads and interpret compression results. We separate service behaviour, outside platform requirements and our own measurements, so you can see what an explanation is based on.

Last updated:

Start with the source

For browser behaviour, web performance and platform upload requirements, we prefer official documentation and help pages. Guides link to the material supporting their practical claims. Where a guide shows a checked date, it means the cited requirements were reviewed on that date, not that a platform has promised never to change them.

We leave out a specific limit when we cannot verify it from a suitable source. Service facts are checked against Bitinz documentation and behaviour. The shared upload and availability section explains our defaults; an upload form can show different current settings.

Make examples reproducible

For a published compression experiment, we record the date, environment, input image, dimensions, format and selected settings, together with the output size. Where the measurement record includes SHA-256 checksums, they identify the exact input or output files so a later run can compare like with like.

File sizes are recorded as actual bytes, not estimated download times. To check a result, use the same input file, pixel dimensions, format and settings, then compare its output size and checksum. A result from one sample does not predict every image or network.

Explain what a result does and does not show

An example shows what happened to the identified image under the stated conditions. It does not establish a universal saving, an identical-looking result or a guaranteed performance score. Pixel dimensions, format, existing compression and the destination all affect the useful choice.

Regression checks compare reference outputs to help find unintended changes before release. They complement, rather than replace, inspecting the image in its intended setting. Our quality guide explains how to compare detail and why keeping an editable original helps.

Use images we can publish

Public examples use project-owned images or images with permission or a licence that allows the intended publication. When a guide uses an outside image source, its supporting record should identify that source and the relevant permission or licence. We do not treat an image found online as automatically free to reuse.

Be clear about translations

Translations are AI-assisted; we check numbers, links and structure across languages.

These checks help keep instructions aligned, but they do not settle every choice of wording. If a translation is unclear or changes the meaning, tell us the language and page address so we can correct it.

Update the page when the facts change

Substantive content changes receive an updated page date. We revisit affected explanations when service behaviour changes or a reliable source shows that a requirement is outdated. Editorial dates describe content work, not the last deployment of the website.

Send corrections and supporting links to contact@bitinz.com. We can check the claim, fix the relevant page and carry the change into its translations.
