How It Works
Canvas API WebP Export Pipeline: 1. Image Loading: Load PNG binary stream via FileReader API into off-screen HTMLCanvasElement. 2. Render Context: ctx.drawImage(pngImage, 0, 0) preserves 8-bit alpha channel transparency values ($A \in [0, 255]$). 3. WebP Encoding: Canvas.toDataURL('image/webp', quality) applies VP8 / VP8L intra-prediction and entropy coding.
