How to access, manage, and troubleshoot your processed files.

How Downloads Work

Automatic Downloads:

Most V2Stack tools automatically trigger a download after processing:

  1. Processing completes - You'll see a preview of your result
  2. Download starts - File downloads to your default downloads folder
  3. Filename - Usually formatted as processed-originalname.ext
  4. Original preserved - Your source file remains unchanged

Manual Download:

If automatic download doesn't start:

  1. Look for the "Download" button below the preview
  2. Click to initiate download
  3. Choose save location if prompted
  4. File saves to your device

The Download node keeps each file's name, or uses the pattern you set, for example {name}-{w}x{h}.

[original-name]-[operation]-[timestamp].[ext]

Download Troubleshooting

Problem: Download doesn't start

Solutions:

  • Check browser pop-up blocker settings
  • Ensure sufficient disk space
  • Try a different browser
  • Clear browser cache
  • Disable browser extensions temporarily

Problem: File won't open

Solutions:

  • Verify file extension matches format
  • Try opening with different application
  • Check if file is corrupted (re-download)
  • Update your image viewer software
  • Try online file viewer

Problem: Can't find downloaded file

Solutions:

  • Check browser's download history (Ctrl+J / Cmd+J)
  • Search your Downloads folder by date
  • Search entire computer for filename
  • Check if browser saves to different location
  • Look in "Recent Files" (Windows) or "Recents" (Mac)

Problem: Download is slow

Solutions:

  • Check internet connection (for initial page load)
  • Close other browser tabs
  • Restart browser
  • Check available disk space
  • Try a different browser

Note: Processing is client-side, so download speed only affects the initial page load, not the processing itself.

Problem: File appears corrupted

Solutions:

  • Re-download the file
  • Check original file wasn't corrupted
  • Try processing again
  • Use a different tool/format
  • Contact support if issue persists

Privacy & Security

Your Files Are Safe:

  • Never uploaded - All processing happens in your browser
  • Never stored - We don't save your files on servers
  • Never shared - Your files are private
  • Never tracked - No usage tracking or analytics on files

Browser Cache:

Your browser may temporarily cache files:

  • This is controlled by your browser settings
  • Clear cache through browser settings if needed
  • We don't control browser caching

Secure Downloads:

  • All downloads use HTTPS
  • Files are not modified during download
  • Original quality is preserved

Mobile-Specific Tips

iOS:

  • Large files may save to Files app instead of Photos
  • HEIC format may convert to JPEG automatically
  • Check iCloud settings for photo sync

Android:

  • Downloads may appear in Gallery automatically
  • Use "Files by Google" for better file management
  • Check SD card if external storage is set as default

Batch Downloads

Playground:

When a flow makes several files:

  • The Download node saves one file, or a ZIP when several arrive
  • You can choose separate files instead, or always a ZIP
  • Every node's own files can also be saved from the panel on the right

Tip: Process files individually for better control over download locations.
