Thank you for testing it out and sharing the screenshots!

I’ve run some performance tests using Vitest Bench, and SnapDOM was faster. I also created a few manual demos, and SnapDOM won in both speed and accuracy.

That said, I still need to run more real-world tests. So, thanks again for your help!

How can svg be faster, and especially more accurate (lets throw some IMG or CSS shadows for fun) than canvas?

You can embed HTML in an SVG via foreignObject. Seems like that's exactly what the library is doing[0].

Whether that's faster or more reliable, I don't know. Seems likely to render different depending on where you view the SVG (especially out of browsers).

I'm working on enabling a special full mode for those who don't mind the final size:
