Windows SmartScreen / Unknown publisher
Windows may block Setup.exe with “Windows protected your PC” and Unknown publisher. That is expected until a code-signing certificate ships in upcoming versions. For the official installer from GitHub or ready-4-it.com: More info → Run anyway — that is safe.
Convert fails or quality looks wrong
- Prefer SVG or high-resolution PNG as master (see Formats & quality).
- PNG→SVG will not invent vectors — only SVG sources emit SVG.
- Install optional ImageMagick for large batches.
- Check Diagnostics (Pro+) for fallback counters.
License not accepted
- Key must be for product
pixel-forge(not ManifestGuard). - Deactivate on old machine before moving activation.
Gallery / Git restore
- Pro+ gallery Git sync, full backup, and intelligence (duplicates, merge) require a license.
- Pro+ Asset vault: use gallery group switch + restore from masters.
- See run logs in output folder
metadata.json.
