Research direction

Start by tracing the ImageFormat.WEBP paths for encodeToBytes and encodeToBase64, then reproduce the behavior with a normal PNG and compare the encoded size. Done means WEBP encoding substantially reduces the image size, but the issue does not specify a target reduction, reproduction asset, files, or tests.
