Variables and limits

Limits

Most limits are the same on Free and Pro. Only the number of projects and the size of saved history depend on your plan. Unless a table says otherwise, a limit counts within one project. At most limits, the action stops with a message and nothing you made changes. The rows for long text and links say where Fantasma shortens or drops what is over the limit instead.

In a project, Project settings › General › Usage shows how many images and fonts it uses. I reached a project, image or font limit shows how to make room.
