QuickMergeWho writes and maintains the content
QuickMerge is a founder-led product. Its tools, guides and site copy are written and maintained by one person — Mehran, the founder and lead developer — from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. There is no editorial staff and no outside contributors; where a page names an author, it is Mehran. See the about page for background.
How tools are tested
A tool is not published until it has been run against representative files and its output opened or parsed to confirm it is valid — not merely that a button produced a download. Testing covers a successful case, invalid or unsupported input, mobile layout, and a check that existing tools still work. When a tool cannot do something a visitor might expect — remove a flattened watermark, open a password-protected file it has no key for — the page says so plainly instead of implying success.
How measurements and fixtures are recorded
Figures on this site — file-size limits, and what each browser supports — are measured, not estimated. An automated harness loads a real tool page, feeds it a fixture file, and records the actual input and output through the browser, writing the results to a data file that the limits and browser support pages are built from. A claim of a specific size or capability is expected to have a fixture and a reproducible run behind it, rather than being written from memory.
Sources and citations
Statements of external technical, historical, platform or legal fact should link to a primary source — a specification, a vendor's own documentation, or the standard itself — rather than to a second-hand summary. Where a page describes how a file format behaves, it describes behaviour that can be checked, and points the reader to where they can check it.
Corrections
If a tool, a guide or a privacy statement is wrong, report it through the contact page and it will be investigated and corrected. Corrections are made on the page itself, and the page's modified date is updated when the change is substantive.
Publishing and update dates
Guides carry a published date and a modified date that reflect their real history. A page is revised when the tool it describes changes, when a measured figure changes, or when a reader reports an error. Cosmetic edits do not move the modified date; substantive changes to instructions or claims do.
Advertising, kept separate from content
QuickMerge carries advertising to fund free tools, and keeps it strictly separate from what the tools do. Ads are served only on pages that are genuine articles or working tools, through an allowlist: navigation pages, this policy and the other trust and legal pages, and any retired or redirected URL serve no ads at all. Advertising and analytics are independent — allowing analytics never turns advertising on for a page that is not eligible — and neither ever receives the contents of a file you process. Advertising loads only after consent, and can be declined.
Automation and AI assistance
QuickMerge uses automation, and AI assistance, to help draft copy and build tools. What that does not change is the standard for publishing: a statement about how a tool behaves is checked against the tool itself, and a measured figure comes from the harness that runs the real tool — neither is written from memory or published unchecked. Automation helps produce the site; a person is responsible for every factual claim on it.
