What the web app can't do

The web app makes the same files as the app and the CLI, byte for byte. What it can’t do comes from the browser:

App and CLI Web app
Text The text command, Set Text, and SVG text set in your fonts Not available: browsers don’t let pages use your installed fonts. SVG <text> is left out of the result, and the report says so. Convert text to outlines in your design tool, or use the app or CLI
Saving Next to the input, or a chosen folder Downloads, or a chosen folder in Chromium browsers on a computer
Folders as input Any folder, remembered Open Folder in desktop browsers; files only on phones; nothing remembered
Automation Shortcuts, Finder Quick Action, the share sheet, scripts Open files with the installed app (Chromium); the report’s CLI command
Speed Native Roughly 1.5 to 3 times slower
Large files Limited by memory Phones, iOS Safari most, limit memory: files over 150 MB get a warning

For any of these, use the app or the CLI.
