+# WebP Format Support Enhancement
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the enhanced WebP format support implemented in the Universal Image to ICO Converter. While basic WebP support existed, these enhancements provide WebP-specific optimizations and user guidance.
+
+## Enhanced Features
+
+### 1. WebP-Specific Format Messages
+
+Added intelligent format-specific guidance for WebP files:
+
+```typescript
+case 'webp':
+  return 'Note: WebP format provides excellent compression with transparency support. Animated WebP files will use the first frame for conversion.';
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Educates users about WebP's advantages
+- Clarifies handling of animated WebP files
+- Provides transparency information
+
+### 2. Browser Compatibility Detection
+
+Enhanced browser support detection with detailed feedback:
+
+```typescript
+export function getWebPCompatibilityInfo(): {
+  supported: boolean;
+  message?: string;
+  recommendation?: string;
+}
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Real-time WebP support detection
+- Browser-specific recommendations
+- Fallback guidance for unsupported browsers
+
+### 3. Advanced WebP File Analysis
+
+Comprehensive WebP file characteristic detection:
+
+```typescript
+export async function analyzeWebPFile(file: File): Promise<{
+  isAnimated: boolean;
+  hasTransparency: boolean;
+  estimatedQuality: 'high' | 'medium' | 'low';
+  recommendation?: string;
+}>
+```
+
+**Capabilities:**
+- Animation detection (ANIM chunk analysis)
+- Quality estimation based on file size
+- Transparency support validation
+- Smart recommendations for optimization
+
+### 4. WebP-Optimized Size Defaults
+
+Tailored size defaults for WebP conversion:
+
+```typescript
+case 'webp':
+  // For WebP, prioritize modern web sizes with excellent compression
+  // WebP excels at both small icons and large displays
+  return [64, 128, 192, 256, 384];
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Leverages WebP's compression efficiency
+- Focuses on modern web application sizes
+- Balances small icons and large displays
+
+### 5. Enhanced User Interface
+
+Improved format support display:
+
+- Separate WebP listing in formats popup
+- Dedicated WebP tip: "Modern format with superior compression and quality"
+- Visual distinction from PNG/WebP combination
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### File Format Detection
+
+The enhancement maintains full backward compatibility while adding WebP-specific processing:
+
+1. **Standard validation** using existing `validateImageFile()`
+2. **WebP analysis** via `analyzeWebPFile()` for detailed characteristics
+3. **Browser compatibility** check via `getWebPCompatibilityInfo()`
+4. **Intelligent recommendations** based on file analysis
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+- **Async analysis**: WebP file analysis is non-blocking
+- **Minimal overhead**: Only processes first 1KB for header analysis
+- **Graceful fallbacks**: Handles analysis failures without breaking workflow
+- **Memory efficient**: Uses streaming for large files
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- **Defensive programming**: All WebP functions include comprehensive error handling
+- **Fallback behavior**: Analysis failures default to safe assumptions
+- **User feedback**: Clear messages for WebP-specific issues
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic WebP Upload
+
+```javascript
+// User uploads WebP file
+// Console output:
+// "Format info: Note: WebP format provides excellent compression with transparency support..."
+// "WebP file analysis: {isAnimated: false, hasTransparency: true, estimatedQuality: 'high'}"
+```
+
+### Animated WebP Handling
+
+```javascript
+// Animated WebP detected
+// Console output:
+// "WebP Analysis: Animated WebP detected. Only the first frame will be used for ICO conversion."
+```
+
+### Low Quality WebP Warning
+
+```javascript
+// Small/compressed WebP file
+// Console output: 
+// "WebP Analysis: Low quality WebP detected. Consider using a higher quality source for better results."
+```
+
+## Testing Coverage
+
+Comprehensive test suite in `tests/webp-enhancements.test.ts`:
+
+- ✅ Format-specific message validation
+- ✅ Browser compatibility detection
+- ✅ WebP file analysis functionality
+- ✅ Error handling and edge cases
+- ✅ Performance and memory safety
+
+## Browser Support
+
+Enhanced detection covers:
+
+- **Chrome 32+**: Full WebP support
+- **Firefox 65+**: WebP support with transparency
+- **Safari 14+**: WebP support added
+- **Edge 18+**: WebP support included
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Better User Experience**: Clear guidance and warnings
+2. **Optimized Output**: WebP-specific size recommendations
+3. **Enhanced Quality**: Better handling of WebP characteristics
+4. **Future-Proof**: Extensible architecture for format enhancements
+5. **Educational**: Users learn about WebP advantages
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+This enhancement is fully backward compatible:
+
+- **Existing functionality**: All previous WebP conversion capabilities maintained
+- **API compatibility**: No breaking changes to existing functions
+- **Test compatibility**: Existing WebP tests continue to pass
+- **Performance**: No impact on non-WebP file processing
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential areas for further WebP optimization:
+
+1. **Lossless detection**: Distinguish between lossy/lossless WebP
+2. **Quality preservation**: Maintain original WebP quality settings
+3. **Animation support**: Extract multiple frames for specialized use cases
+4. **Metadata preservation**: Maintain WebP EXIF/XMP data where appropriate
