Image format and privacy
The download is an uncompressed 24-bit BMP, generated at the correct dimensions for your selected radio. Your photograph and callsign are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to GraymanPOTA.
When site analytics is enabled, the tool counts photo loads and BMP download actions without sending photos, callsigns, or filenames. Downloading an image does not guarantee it has been installed on a radio.
