Transparency-aware WebP export check

PNG can contain transparency, so the same WebP button has a different risk profile than JPEG. Re-run at an explicit quality and sample alpha coverage before deciding whether the converted asset is safe for overlays or UI.

Evidence	Value	Interpretation	Action

Canvas WebP export can preserve transparency, but the browser controls the encoder. The alpha scan is sampled from a scaled copy to avoid full-resolution pixel reads.

Browser-local limits

Canvas-based export is browser dependent. PNG is broadly available; JPEG/WebP quality and support can vary, and metadata may not be preserved through canvas re-encoding.

PNG and WEBP do not have identical capabilities

Changing the container requires the browser to decode the source pixels and encode a new file. That can alter file size and metadata even when the image looks similar. Lossy source artifacts cannot be recovered by converting to a lossless format, while conversion to a lossy format can introduce new compression artifacts.

Check transparency, quality, and metadata

PNG can preserve alpha transparency; ordinary JPEG cannot, so transparent pixels need a background when exporting to JPEG. WebP can be lossy or lossless and can support alpha depending on the encoder path. Browser canvas export commonly drops EXIF and other source metadata, and color-management behavior can vary. Compare the final dimensions, transparency, visual detail, and file size before replacing an original asset with the converted copy.
