Why is my image showing a CORS error?
Some websites restrict cross-origin image loading as a security measure. If you see a CORS error, try right-clicking the image directly on the source website and choosing "Save image as." Alternatively, make sure you are pasting the direct file URL (ending in .jpg, .png, .gif etc.) rather than the webpage URL.

Is it legal to download images and GIFs?
Pixovio is a tool for personal and educational use. Downloading publicly accessible images is technically possible, but users are responsible for respecting copyright laws and the terms of service of the source websites. Always seek permission before reusing someone else's content commercially.
