Which browser to use
Crevano's design, export and print features work in every modern browser, on a computer, a phone or a tablet. One feature has a hardware requirement: the background remover needs WebGPU, which Chrome and Edge have had since 2023, Safari has from version 26 (macOS Tahoe, iOS 26, iPadOS 26) and Firefox has on Windows from 141 and on Apple-silicon Macs from 147. On anything older the rest of the studio works normally and the Remove background button tells you why it cannot run. Two other things are better in Chrome and Edge on a computer, and both are about files.
The difference
| | Chrome / Edge on a computer | Safari, Firefox, phones, tablets | |---|---|---| | Designing, exporting, printing | Yes | Yes | | Background remover | Yes | Needs WebGPU — Safari 26+, Firefox 141+ on Windows and 147+ on Apple silicon | | Save straight to a file you choose | Yes | You get an ordinary download instead | | ⌘S writes back to the same file | Yes | Each save is a new download | | Mirror every project into a folder | Yes | Not available | | Double-click a .crev to open it | Yes, once installed | No |
Apart from the background remover, nothing is missing anywhere else — you just get a download where Chrome and Edge get a save.
On a phone or tablet
The full studio runs. A few things to know:
- Long-press an element instead of right-clicking. It opens the same menu.
- The toolbar scrolls sideways when it runs out of room, and it starts at the right-hand end, where the print and share buttons are.
- Install it to the home screen and you get the whole screen with no browser bars, which makes a real difference on a small display. See Install Crevano.
If something looks wrong
- Reload the page. Crevano updates itself in the background and occasionally needs one reload to finish.
- Check you are not in a private window. Nothing is kept in one.
- Try Chrome or Edge if you are on something older, and tell us what happened — File → Report a problem inside the app sends it straight to us.
