Notes

All codecs are implemented in pure TypeScript with no WASM. Register this backend alongside @catlabtech/webcvt-image-canvas to expand the range of supported input formats:

import { CanvasBackend } from '@catlabtech/webcvt-image-canvas';
import { LegacyImageBackend } from '@catlabtech/webcvt-image-legacy';
import { defaultRegistry } from '@catlabtech/webcvt-core';

defaultRegistry.register(new CanvasBackend());
defaultRegistry.register(new LegacyImageBackend());
