Hi @pierrebo - unfortunately Apple restricts all images from being rendered at more than 16 million pixels on all iOS and iPadOS devices through Safari. Additionally, Apple prevents any other browser engine from being installed on these devices. So even if you were to install Chrome, it would still use Safari in the background with a Chrome UI. These are hard limits artificially imposed by Apple to protect their AppStore model against web apps, where they can't charge a 30% tax on all transactions which ultimately drive up consumer prices.
Please forward the following complaint to Apple via https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
Subject: Revisit Memory and Canvas Limitations in iOS Safari
Dear Apple Support Team,
I’m reaching out to express concerns about Safari’s current limitations, notably the 200-400MB memory limit per page and the canvas size cap at 16,777,216 pixels. These constraints significantly hinder the processing of high-resolution images and videos captured on Apple devices within web applications, diminishing the user experience expected from such premium hardware. Given that Safari is the sole browser option on iOS and iPadOS, these technical limitations restrict the potential for web apps to fully utilize the capabilities of Apple’s advanced devices. This is particularly concerning as it limits our ability to work with media directly captured on our expensive iPhones and iPads within Safari, detracting from the overall value and utility of these devices.

Hi,
Thanks so much for your quick answer.
However, I don’t understand why my images are limited to 6MP if the limit is 16?
