How It Works

JPEG to WebP Transcoding Mechanics: 1. JPEG Decoding: FileReader API decodes JPEG stream into 24-bit RGB pixel array. 2. Macroblock Spatial Prediction: WebP splits pixels into 16x16 macroblocks, applying intra-frame prediction to encode relative pixel changes. 3. Quantization & Arithmetic Encoding: Applies discrete cosine transform (DCT) and probability-based entropy coding for maximum file compression.
