Helps me help you

Before you write — a tiny ask.

Not required. But if you can include these, I can usually resolve a ThumbForge issue in the first reply.

01

Your license email

The email you used to buy. Lets me look up your order without a back-and-forth.

02

ThumbForge version

Help → About inside the app. Pasting the version + build hash narrows it down fast.

03

Your source clip

If a specific video misbehaves, a 5-second snippet is gold. (And no, it doesn't leave my inbox.)

04

What you expected

"It crashed" vs. "the WebP came out 80% darker than the source" — the second one ships a fix on Tuesday.

A note from the maker
"Email is the support channel because email is the support channel. If you bought ThumbForge, you have a direct line to the person who wrote it. That's not a perk; that's the whole point of buying from a one-person studio."
