3. Then click on the Add button alongside the box.

This is the feature that most editing tools lack as they only inform you if your file is uploaded or not with only the file name shown.

After the file is uploaded, go to the options given below that are explained ahead and the image preview will show the exact file you will receive after manipulating it according to your need. This feature lets you analyze your images before you decide to download them. This saves you from the frustrating mistake of uploading or downloading the wrong files.
