This repo demos decoding images in a web worker for Pixi.js for older browsers that don't support createImageBitmap.
If you support modern browsers enabling pixijs.download/dev/docs/PIXI.settings.html#CREATE_IMAGE_BITMAP will automatically decode images in a seperate thread.
However.. If you are supporting older browsers, (say old TV devices) you may still want to decode images off the main thread so there is no FPS jank.
Web Worker supports is far better than createImageBitmap: https://caniuse.com/?search=createImageBitmap vs https://caniuse.com/?search=Web%20Workers
To run the demo, clone the repo and run
npm run dev
Toggling the checkbox will reload the page and load and decode the image either using web workers or the main JS thread.
