Large files can be valid and still fail locally
Huge images, ZIP archives, XLSX workbooks, PDFs, JSON payloads, and CSV files can exceed practical browser memory. A local failure is not always a format error.
Local limits
Browser-local processing is private and fast, but it still runs inside your device memory and browser tab. Large files can exceed what the tab can safely decode, parse, rewrite, or download.

Huge images, ZIP archives, XLSX workbooks, PDFs, JSON payloads, and CSV files can exceed practical browser memory. A local failure is not always a format error.
Check file type, file size, dimensions, row count, archive entries, or PDF page count before trying to generate a new output from a large source.
When possible, split the source, reduce image dimensions, remove unused sheets or rows, list archive contents before extraction, or choose a temporary server job if the tool supports one.
Browser-local tools depend on the active tab. Closing, reloading, or memory pressure from other tabs can interrupt work before you copy or download the result.
